I have read the other posts on this page and I am glad that I went when I did after all the complaints. The display was impeccable, the food was really delicious, there many many different dishes to choose from and the servers were very pleasant and 'on ball'. I will be visiting again soon!

The setting is very pleasant, conducive to enjoying one's food in a peaceful atmosphere. The food is not fussy but good - like home cooking.

I was there for my sister's wedding. The food and staff were great. Very accommodating to all our needs. Nothing bad to say at all. Would love to try their Sunday brunch soon.

Our company dinner was held here and firstly the food was great. What lacked fo me was the servers. It was obvious that some of them were not pleased about something and had a don't care attitude towards the guests. Plus an hour before the allotted time to leave they were packing up as if to leave so you got... More

Great restaurant with excellent service. The chef has been able to retain many of his trusted staff and the consistency of quality shows. International cuisine that leverages Trinidad and Tobago spices and flavors. I have been dining at Jaffa's since inception and have also sone corporate functions. I was never disappoointed. Worth the visit!!!!!
