" This is hands down my favorite Mediterranean restaurant! I've been coming here for years, and they never disappoint. Their lentil soup is the best I've ever had - so rich and flavorful. The staff knows me by now and always makes me feel like family. Plus, the outdoor seating is a perfect spot for people-watching on a sunny day. If you haven't tried the baklava yet, you're truly missing out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit to Jaffa Café, but I walked away feeling disappointed. The hummus was decent, but the falafel was subpar and quite dry. Additionally, the wrap I ordered was merely okay, lacking the punch I'm used to from authentic Mediterranean spots. Service was fast, and I appreciated that, but I’m not sure if I’d come back for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a delightful experience at Jaffa Café! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner. The chicken shawarma was unbelievably flavorful and well-seasoned, paired beautifully with their homemade garlic sauce. The service was superb; we were greeted warmly and our orders arrived promptly. Definitely returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite pleased with my visit to Jaffa Café. The service was prompt, and the staff was very courteous. I ordered the falafel platter, which came with a generous serving of hummus and a fresh salad. What really stood out was the subtle, zesty flavor in each dish. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a good meal without breaking the bank! " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable experience! I visited for dinner and loved the variety. The platters allow you to try different entrees, and the fresh pita bread was delightful. The only downside was that a few items could have used a touch more seasoning. However, overall, the food was delicious, and I would definitely return here again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't keep myself from coming to Jaffa Café! As a Mediterranean food lover, this place really satisfies my cravings. I especially appreciate their vegan options. The lentil soup is great for the colder days, while their dolmas are perfectly seasoned and refreshing. Can't get over how nice the staff is either, a true gem in the village. " (*Curated Review*)

" I often get takeout from Jaffa Café, and it’s always a hit! Their lentil soup is incredibly flavorful, and the vegetable platter is a great choice for a healthy meal. Although I've had a few inconsistencies in service during peak hours, the taste makes it worthwhile. I highly recommend it for anyone craving Mediterranean food at any time! " (*Curated Review*)
