Food was good. I had the single beef burger and my girlfriend had the king klip. Both dishes were prepared very well.
Friendly staff, clean restaurant, has a smoking area.
Only thing I didn't like was that the card machine was broken so cash only. I read a review of 10 days ago saying the card machine was broken then already. But overall a good place will definitely be visiting again
I have been to Jiah many times, but sadly have never taken the time to review the restaurant. All my visits have been an overall good experience, with a few unsatisfactory moments.
My last visit was when I booked a table for 18h30, for 2 people. When I got to the restaurant, they had reserved a table for 6. Rather too many seats than no reservation at all, I guess...
We sat at a table that had nothing on it - no condiments whatsoever. I'm sure if I'd asked the waiter would have brought me, but all we had was the wood of the table.
I ordered my food and we had been waiting for a while before the waiter came to tell me they couldn't prepare my salad because they didn't have all the ingredients. I was highly annoyed. I then ordered the calamari, and the waiter wouldn't allow me to order the combination of sides I wanted, until I told him they have to, otherwise I'd complain. He gave in and brought what I asked.
The food was delicious. I had the calamari and my friend had Alfredo pasta. The calamari was spicy, while the Alfredo would have been better if it had been served with chili and garlic (as restaurants typically serve pasta).
I fought to have onion rings as a side as well, but it wasn't worth the fight. It was tasteless.
Jiah used to have wet wipes (halaal certified ones!) but now they don't seem to have any anymore.
Our waiter, Liyabona, was such a sweetheart. He was friendly and attentive and was so cute when I asked him to bring a dessert for my friend that said "happy 30th birthday". He excitedly agreed, and winked at me while serving our food because it was our secret - adorable! Anyway my friend only caught on when the dessert arrived.
I really like this place and want to see them be successful. A fully halaal restaurant that has the potential to be a 5 star restaurant. Come on Jiah owners and staff, you can do it.
Went for the buffet on a weekday, food was a bit cold when we got there BUT they bought out hot ribs and that was splendid!
Dessert is also a must, Malva pudding was divine! And their milkshakes are too die for! Definitely getting your money's worth with that.
Buffet price is reasonable for the food you get, recommend you go on the weekends though.
