This unique restaurant made me feel not only comfortable, but well served as if I were a queen. From the environment, to the dancers, and even our waiters. We truly felt like Jasmine from the movie Aladdin. The food was EXOTIC, delicious, and one of a kind. After sipping on a while bottle of red wine I opted for the espresso for dessert and let me tell you.... best coffee I have ever tasted in South Florida. Can't thank the warming staff for keeping this place one of my number one restaurants in Florida! Oh and this was at the Hallandale location, can't imagine the Miami spot. ALSO, please sit outdoors! It's picture heaven for any content creator. Thanks again Jaffa! Keep shinning on.
I ordered the vegan falafel pita sandwich—which was yummy—but I didn’t think it was worth more than the $16 it’s listed at on their menu, yet when we went to pay, the total was almost $20. The employee said that the additional charges were from tax and a mandatory 15% gratuity fee. That’s not how gratuity works, buddy—especially for a counter-order-style restaurant. This feels deceptive and like false advertising.
I am absolutely addicted to Jaffa!It's in Mia Market, so I love that I can order a tower of incredible food and carry it over to the bar 10 feet away for a drink. If you aren't eating in the Design District, their takeout travels well (at least the falafel platter, can't speak to the rest yet).I've had Jafffa 5+ times now and it's always consistent and satisfying, no matter who is working the "restaurant" and what dish I order. I can confidently go here and know that my money wasn't wasted on a mediocre meal. It's not cheap, but the quality and quantity justify the cost, in my opinion.Despite the quick service, this food always tastes incredibly fresh. This place is great with friends, coworkers, by yourself, etc. and a superb option for lunches when you need something quick. I'd like to think there is something for everyone here, but in case there isn't, you have all of Mia Market to find stuff for each person in the group. :)
We had an amazing dinners at Jaffa, the food was unbelievable tasty, flavorful and balanced. We had the beef cigars, we had the cuscus and beef tagine and the kabab, they were all perfect the lamb chops were delicious- my favorite dish!!! The maze plate, pickles and deserts, and everything was perfect, including the music, belly dancer that kept us jumping and playing the Darbukah, the design of the restaurant with so many beautiful details, the friendly crew, we had an amazing time together with family and friends, we came back the following week again all the way from south beach! It was worthwhile and we will definitely visit very often. ??????
Ever since visiting Israel a few years ago and falling in love with the greatest food in the world, I've been on the hunt for Israeli or even southern Mediterranean food here in the US to at least get close to the freshness and taste of being there. Until today, I've been coming up short. Then I saw Jaffa Israeli Kitchen opened in Hallandale and told my wife this was all I wanted to do on my birthday. We jumped on one of their two mezze starters, got their beef kofta, and dairy free pistachio ice cream. ALL OF IT WAS INCREDIBLE! With their doors open to enbrace today's incredible weather, it was almost like being on the harbor eating in Jaffa. We met the owner/chef Yaniv Cohen, who was wonderful to speak to and hear how he prepared some of the dishes. Make reservations and go. You will NOT be disappointed. Hell, tell me when you're going, Ill go with you. It's definitely in rotation now.
The food is maybe tasty here...But there is some rude people's working here!It was 02/23/2022 10:30 AM i and my wife tourists here and searched one place...saw the door is open to restaurant and some people inside...we just came in to ask some directions because probably they would know...But they just started to attack us like crazy...! Kicking out outside even without normal conversation!!!Before closing doors right before our noses some guy stepped on my wife's leg very hard, which is not like you should meet the people, especially working in place like that!!!!
Amazing dinner last night at the new Hallandale loc. The branzino was one of the best I ever had, pickled fennel was a perfect accompaniment.. fish was cooked perfectly with a great crispy skin. The fattoush (sp?) was also amazing , pomegranate dressing had perfect acid/oil ratio. Veggies were super fresh. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes!!! Thanks for a great meal.
Best joint at the food court in the design mall. Specials that are NOT on the menu far better than regular dishes. Excellent quality and great amount of food. Highy recommend.
Great dining experience, food was delicious and staff so welcoming ! ? The belly dancing show was the highlight of the night...
Very tasty lunch but maybe $18 is a just a bit expensive for this fast food style.
