The Mixed Grill Plate was delicious! Well-spiced, tender meat, and delicious rice. Very generous serving too, plenty for a second meal.

"Jafra is amazing! The Chicken & Beef Kabob was juicy and flavorful, and the Mediterranean Chicken Shawarma was perfectly seasoned. The Halloumi Cheese and Spanakopita were delicious. Great portions, fresh food, and friendly service. Highly recommended!"

The pictures of their food look very tasty, and I had high hopes, but the Mediterranean Chicken Shawarma is inedible. It is very dense, had an unpleasant off flavor and had an unusual tanginess to the meat. The philly meat was overcooked and the bread-to-meat ratio left me with a whole bunch of empty bread. I was disappointed with this order.

Classic Gyro Oh my gosh, so much flavor! Sometimes gyros are blah. This was the complete opposite! The ingredients were very fresh and the meat was so tender. The meat had wonderful seasonings and even had a little kick to it. Delicious!
Mixed Grill Plate The plate had so much food. Enough for lunch tomorrow! Again, the meat was tender and seasoned very well. Everything was very fresh. We can highly recommend Jafra!

Overall food was good. Gyro & Chicken Mix is a good option if you want salad, hummus, pita bread, rice and 2 choice of meat. The chicken in it was just ok so next time I will order the gyro. Salad was good, rice was good, pita bread was soft. Hummus was creamy and for the gyro meat I had no complaints. It tasted as gyro should taste like. Kataifi I've never had before. It was nice and sweet and the pistachios in it was definitely shining through. Pistachio Roll Baklava was way sweeter than the Kataifi. They give you 2 peices of baklava but half of 1 peice is enough because of how sweet it was. Also, I could taste more of the pistachios in the Kataifi than I did in the Pistachio Roll Baklava. Can't wait to try more from the menu
