   The Angus ribeye is incredibly tender and juicy with lovely charcoal aroma. Only thing… the rub isn’t really my jam — give me a simple salt-and-pepper would’ve been perfect. By the way, the squid was absolutely mouthwatering too!” More of my food finds in IG: @ida_chch

   When you go to a top rated steak restaurant, you expect to be served a perfectly prepared steak and that's what I got at Jaba. The sauces definitely need a bit more attention and maybe the inclusion of duck fried chips served with a dusting of parmesan (the fries I was served was a bit average). Had an excellent bottle of Argentinian Cab Sav which went well with my steak. Lovely location, lovely and quaint inside. The wait staff are all beautiful young ladies who provided excellent customer service. Well done Jaba.

   Jaba grill accommodated us as we had a party of 12 on a Saturday night. Service was excellent despite giving us 1.5 hrs, they were not rushing just giving gentle reminders. Love the bone marrows and steaks were great with substantial portion. Cocktails were excellent! Saved it for my next visit.

   Well established restaurant. Food was delicious, bread starter had great dips would have been nice with more bread though. Only veg option is halloumi and carrot salad, sounds dull but tasted delicious. Nice range of cocktails.

   What an amazing restaurant neatly tucked away! The food was amazing paired with such beautiful service. I would definitely would dine there again. I had the short rib with duck fat potatoes. So delicious and thanks for having us! It was so easy to give the restaurant 5 stars ⭐️

   Great options and everything was really yummy! Many good reasons why this place is considered the best steakhouse in Christchurch. The service was nothing but kind, courteous and homely. Congrats to the team! I look forward to my next visit.

   Jaba Grill and Bar lived up to its 4.5-star rating.. The deep-fried squid with sriracha mayo was delicious, and the portion size was generous. My Marble Masters Grain Fed Angus Ribeye was cooked to perfection, and the parsnip puree and crisps were a tasty accompaniment. Wonderful quick and attentive services! I have no hesitation in recommending Jaba Grill and Bar.

   One of the most memorable steaks we’ve tried. We ordered a few dishes to share - the Tomahawk, bone marrow and venison carpaccio, and a cheesecake for dessert. It was my first time trying bone marrow and I’m glad I did. It went very nice with the bread provided. The venison carpaccio was good as well, so was the dessert. What stood out for me was the Tomahawk. The steak was cooked medium rare. It had a nicely charred flavour on the outside, and tender on the inside. Would return if I’m ever in the area again. Chatted with the lady at the cashier and discovered that she’s visiting my home country in 2 weeks time. If she reads this - “I hope you enjoy your holiday as much as I enjoyed my visit to the restaurant.” :)
