Jaba Grill and Bar

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.

excellent food and service. parents and teens really enjoy everything.

Lovely 😍 food and great service will definitely come back again when we are in Chch

Sehr freundliche Bedienungen und alles zügig bekommen. Das Steak perfekt zubereitet

Great food, great staff would definitely recommend. Will be back

Carne squisita selezionata di provenienza locale perfettamente cucinata alla brace cavemen style. Servizio discretamente celere e molto cortese. Dolce di cioccolato con gelato ottimo. Prezzo nella media cconsiderando

This was not our first visit every time we go the food never disappoints if anything it seems to get better and better.

Steak was delicious Vegetables was tasty Service 5 stars - will visit again

Fabulous on all counts- friendly service, lovely atmosphere and the food was perfection

I went there because of their perfect 5.0 review rating from 444 reviews and it lived up to its rating (which I cynically expected it would not!)

Two couples at our table and everyone agreed it was a wonderful night. Restaurant was busy but not full so noise level was OK. Food was fabulous 👌

Really enjoyed the meals but was just thinking I was going to be getting abit more of a fine dining experience by the reviews I had read online and based on the price of the meals. Staff were lovely.

Honestly the best steak I’ve had! Juicy, favoursome and cooked to perfection

Lekker eten . Goede steaks. Goede bediening. Restaurant zit op een rustig plekje in de stad.

Steak cooked to perfection - stunning service and its my goto for decent steak

Superb place, food and environment totally perfect, would highly recommend

Superb food, great atmosphere, brilliant waiters. Top notch evening! Definitely recommend.

Pleasant waiting staff who were friendly. They could have highlighted that the entree chosen was also part of the main. We felt we would’ve ordered a different entree had we known this. The ribeye steak cut was thin and so the requested M/Rare didn’t deliver, but was Medium instead. Decor was plain and lacking ambiance. Prices were what you would pay for a steak house, but the overall experience didn’t match that expectation.

Probably a weird comment, maybe slightly over attentive and lots of staff helped maybe 1/2 would have been better to build a better closer repor.

Food and service were amazing. Will be back again soon.

Perfect produce, perfectly prepared, wonderful service. Would love to come back!

Beautiful food, atmosphere and great service, you must try it

Amazing as always. The food was delicious and service great. Will be back again!

Very easily the best steakhouse in Christchurch. Amazing food and even better service! Owners are incredibly lovely, it is always such a delight to see them and dine here.
