The food was amazing and the staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend this place. The steak was sooo good!
Good friendly prompt service. Happy staff. Great food. Good menu. Nice table layout. Enjoyable evening. Will come again
The team was incredibly welcoming and food absolutely fantastic x
Great steak and oysters. Service was great too. Highly recommended
Both our steaks were cooked to perfection & mouth wateringly delicious. Our waiter was an absolute star, he was warm & with great customer service skills. He made us feel very welcome. The Otago Red Pinot Noir matched perfectly. It was our first visit to Jaba & we’ll be back. We had a great night.
Waiter tried clearing the table while we were still eating, kept getting asked if we wanted to order or how our food was by multiple different waiters like they werent communicating at all, felt like they were in a rush to get us out, got charged the wrong amount (thankfully fixed) but also charged us for water but did not inform us it would cost extra. Food was average and not worth the price for what it was. Discounting dinner after reading such good reviews
The food was sensational & the service was outstanding, the vegetables were outstanding
Das Fleisch war hervorragend gewürzt und kam in der richtigen Garstufe. Die Brownies waren traumhaft. Es wird kein Brot serviert zum Carpaccio und es war zuwenig Oel und Balsamico darauf. Die Halloumi Vorspeise war gut.
Great food , steak and ribs . friendly staff. Modern decor
Love the restaurant love the food. Service was exceptional. It was a little loud, but nothing to be concerned about.
Beautiful steak! Amazingly flavoursome would come back and recommend to friends.
Great meat , the flavour was amazing , well cooked
We found the food to be fantastic. A better steak you would struggle to find. We matched a 450gr steak with a few sides and it was a perfect combo. Squeezed in a dessert just to keep the experience going and that was great too. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Very impressive and surprising variations of dishes and food, withh excellent customer service. Can see why it's so popular!
Amazing food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Perfect place for an anniversary dinner 😀
good service and food, easy access, down town, prices reasonable
Great steak and good service, would recommend for anyone after a good steak
I ordered two Tomahawk steaks—one medium-rare and one medium. Unfortunately, the steaks were swapped. We asked the server to double-check, as they didn’t look right, and we were reassured they were correct. After eating a portion of each, we checked again and were informed that the steaks were indeed the wrong way around, the kitchen had made a mistake. They offered us a free dessert, but that only scratched the surface of the issue. Additionally, the medium steak was nearly overcooked, but we decided not to comment further. After having organised previous visits, this experience has left me considering other options. It's a big shame, as this restaurant was one of my favorites in Christchurch.
Top restaurant, goed eten, voldoende, vriendelijke bediening! Prijs kwaliteit zeer goed
Didn’t appreciate getting my clothes stunk out by by smoke from the adjacent tables order, also didn’t appreciate a big chunk of bone/bone marrow on my plate, totally unnecessary.
Brownie is amazing! Also the steaks. Waitress’ service is nice and quick. Recommend to everyone first in Christchurch and need some good beef dinner.
Great food, excellent service,and great company. Really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Nourriture excellente, saveurs uniques. La viande est un délice. Service sympathique
Food was amazing, small intimate dining, great cocktail choices (Strawberries by madeline, yum!) thoroughly enjoyed and will dine again, thanks!
Amazing food and service! A must do while in Christchurch.
Great night all round, was very happy with the food and service. Lovely place, I'd say best steak house in Christchurch. But the ribs and the beef carpaccio stole the show. A+ will save up for the next time I have a special occasion.
The food never fails to impress at Jaba. We enjoyed three amazing courses, great service and atmosphere.
The best steak I have had in a long time.
It is always a great experience and the staff are wonderful
Our steak and ribeye were sooo delicious and the service was great
The food and service was great. My only Issue was with the burning of the garments on top of some of their meals. It was very smoky and for someone like my wife who has bad Asthma it made the inside dining experience very unpleasant for her at times.
We both decided to have steak. I had a ribeye & Ian had a marbled Angus ribeye. They were both really great. Fir me one of the best steaks I have ever had. We would definitely go back there again.
Quite expensive. Steaks cooked very well. Fish overcooked Vegetables bland and under seasoned Sides overpriced
The food and service was excellent! The owner was present and came by to check on our satisfaction, which says a lot about a business. Would highly recommend!
Service of food was tooo slow, I was tempted to leave
Great service with helpful and welcoming staff. Incredible steak and side dishes. Loved being able to have pre-dinner drinks at Tiger Baby (cool bar!) before going next door to Jaba for dinner. A great evening in a fab environment.
Very nice place staff we're so good and helpful foods we had so awesome got our food in 15min we will be back
Beautiful food. We really enjoyed it. Staffs are nice as well. Will recommend to my friends.
What a great evening. The food was just stunning. We each had a different meal and every meal was superbly cooked and presented. The black Angus beef rib was the best beef I’ve ever eaten. The service was informative, personal and yet not intrusive. Such a young team absolutely nailing it. Well done and thank you.
Amazing food and customer service. Bone marrow is a must try 👍
The food is worth the price, wait staff are great. A larger drinks menu is the only thing we would’ve liked differently.
Super meat selection and quality, cosy atmosphere and great service!
Great food nice place to visit for foodies. Recommended, awesome.
