Delicious Mediterranean food, generous portions, good service, average prices. I had a chicken bowl and my friend had a braised lamb bowl, both were very good. You can choose white, brown or yellow rice, then add greens, meet, sauces (in the bowl or on the side). When we asked to add one stuffed grape leaf, they did not charge us for it. There is also an option to add a pita version instead of a bowl. Overall we enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it to everyone who likes Mediterranean food. Thank you!

Really awful experience. The chicken shawarma was so dried out it was almost inedible/unchewable. Partner’s lamb was also dry and overcooked. Using the kiosk to order, requested extra “cilantro potato”… we counted six 1/2-inch sized pieces of potato in each of our bowls. Garlic fries undercooked – soggy, pale, and lukewarm on the bottom. Mint lemonade lukewarm. Also had trouble finding a seat in an almost empty restaurant…. because the tables hadn’t been cleaned in hours. I just hope we don’t get sick from the little we ate.

Very very happy. I’ve never been here before. I was a little intimidated but the assembly line but they made it simple. Everything was so so good. The pistachio baklava is so delicious. The lamb was moist and yum.

Food was excellent, and plenty of it. Set up sort of like a Subway. Go down the aisle and tell them what you want. My only complaint was the cost. $43 for two bowls and 2 drinks. A can of flavored seltzer water was over $3. Still a fantastic meal.

Absolutely blown away by Jaffa!
I’ve been to a lot of Mediterranean spots, but nothing compares to the freshness and flavor here. You can taste the care in every ingredient — the rice is perfect, the proteins are seasoned just right, and the sauces are on another level. The portions are generous without feeling heavy, and everything tastes clean and homemade.
What really makes this place stand out is the team. They’re warm, welcoming, and genuinely want you to love your meal. The whole vibe feels like you’re stepping into someone’s home kitchen.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or catering for a group, Jaffa is the kind of spot that instantly becomes a favorite. Highly recommend!

I was so blessed by Reid. My daughter has crazy food allergies and I accidentally ordered something with mayo. He saved the day and made her a special meal to make sure she had something to eat with the family and delivered it right to our table. The food was amazing and the service, incredible.

My first time trying this place and I love it I got the falafel for meat choice with signature balsamic rice, mixed greens, jalapeño beet hummus, cukes, tom, red onion, fresh parsley, chickpeas, Kalamata olives, pickles, onions, and pickled turnips and onions with tabbouleh and Tahini sauce.. 10/10 I will be back to try more!
I came around dinner time, atmosphere was amazing very pleasant and the crew on shift was very helpful, for this was my first experience..

Ok… First thought was “the mall food court”?? Really?? But, we wanted to try it and AMAZING! Halal meats, perfect seasoning, authentic food! Just perfection in every manner!! Steven, the manager, was a super guy, friendliest of individuals, and he took great pride in his abilities and his staff! And he should!! Don’t let the “the mall food court” throw you.
