Great food and the meal service was very good but we did feel the bar service was a little slow. The restaurant was quite busy - always a good sign, but this did make it a lttle noisy !!

Nice setting , we both had steak 🥩 my t bone was quite grissly. The chimmichurri was yum and the baby carrots and beans to accompany, however the duck fat potato’s were not crispy which was a bit disappointing.

Omg the best steak!! We had the cave man rib eye which was delicious. The people next to us had ordered a tomahawk to share which we would preorder next time we are in Christchurch. Highly recommend booking.

Googled for a great steakhouse in Christchurch and Jaba was the first hit. Easy to make a reservation and the meal was delicious! My friend loved her glass of wine. Great service. Friendly place but not pretentious.

The food was lovely and my partner particularly loved his steak. Our only criticism was that it was hard to hear each other talk as the music was a little loud and the acoustics were bouncing off the walls. Apart from that very nice

Superb. Beautifully cooked high quality steaks. Flawlessly served with a minimal wine list & sides that perfectly complemented. A tucked-away gem of a restaurant.

Went here for our anniversary and this restaurant exceeded our expectations! The food was AMAZING. Every single thing we ordered was so delicious and it was so memorable that we’ve been craving it ever since! It is on the pricier side but it was worth the value. Would definitely go here again for special occasions.

A really quant unassuming little place, but really fantastic steak and the squid entree was one of the best I’ve eaten! I also wouldn’t go past the cheesecake for a dessert option.
