3.5. Really friendly staff. Loved the boureka, our fav dish of the night. The lamb pita was very unique, with the meat cooked inside the pita and an accompanying sauce. Cool concept, although I prefer my usual salads in the pita. Chicken pita was very tasty. Portions on the small side considering the price.

I booked at New Jaffa and I was a little scared of the seating space. However, they have an expansive space in the backyard filled with lush greenery that made me feel like I was outside Melbourne. It was beautiful. 

Ordered:
🍞 Hummus Plate (v) (gf option): hummus, chickpeas, tahini, garlic green chilli vinagrete & olived oil served with one pita ($12.00)
🍔 Arayes Pita: lamb cooked inside pita, served with tomato, garlic, green chilli, tahini & pickles ($20.00)
🥦 Cauliflower: roasted cauliflower, middle eastern spiced vegan mayo, soft boiled egg, pickled green chilli & fresh parsley ($18.00)

Review:
Sitting outside amongst the greenery, it was almost easy to forget that we were only minutes away from the concrete jungle. Cauliflower was ridiculously soft and full of intricate flavour that we were hungry for more!
The arayes pita reminded me of a big fat burger and dipping into the tahini sauce gave it a real refreshing moment.

Service was friendly and they were efficient. 

I don't have Middle Eastern food often, but I'm considering it to be a staple part of my diet!!

New Jaffa has a sense of belonging and a time out of time - for a period of time one is transported to a metaphorical cross roads of east and west - this is Israel the perfect meld of Moroccan, Lebanese, Greek, Turkish, European cuisines - all brought into Israel by a Diaspora that came from Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Middle East. It’s home for anyone and everyone. Bravo

Food was very fresh and tasty, nice setup and outdoor area. Portion sizes need to be increased or prices reduced and they need to watch what they charge people. I was overcharged by $2.

Prior to relocating to Melbourne, I was very religiously in my food choices and often it would take a lot of effort to convince me to try another cuisine. It’s been almost 5 years since my arrival here and I dare say I’m a lot more adventurous and have a newfound love for middle eastern types of cuisines.

The best hummus and falafel I’ve had in Melbourne . Hummus was really beautifully seasoned and smooth. Good enough to eat on its own. Really liked the Middle Eastern riffs on classic cocktails as well .

We love discovering places like these that bring the flavours of the world to Melbourne. The Middle Eastern and Israeli cuisines were evident here in the menu selection. Useful advice helped us to choose, after which we settled back with mint teas to wait.

The Moroccan Pastilla is similar to what I had in Morocco. Inside the pastry lies shredded chicken confit, dried fruits and nuts mixed with scrumptious spices. The piece is dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar. The savoury and slightly sweet flavours combine harmoniously on the palette.

The Spiced Beef Cheeks were sweet and tender, falling apart with a gentle prod. Mixed with turmeric cous cous, almond, currants, tahini and a generous amount of fresh parsley, the delicious flavours were comforting on this cold, blustery night.

My friends shared beetroot and falafels with dips and the Fish of the Day. The fish wasn't quite de-scaled, so they spent a bit of time picking out scales and bones.

Love the modern, elegant decor. The place is small and seats 20 amongst communal tables. The bar stools are uncomfortable but conducive to the two seatings arrangement. Friendly staff throughout the visit made the overall experience a pleasant one.

Fantastic service, even though we had no booking on a busy Saturday night. Everything from cocktails to curry was delicious. Finishing with a Turkish coffee topped everything off. Great wine list and plenty of delicious vegan options - so many we couldn't decide. Best fatoush in Melbourne.

Went to New Jaffa last night for dinner and what a great meal! We ordered the ribs, grilled fish, kofta, falafel and kanefe. Hommus was amazing with falafel! Not a hommus person otherwise but I might be a fan here! I loved the kanefe with beautiful rose flavour. I think we will be back for that kanefe and hommus for sure! Oh yeah..ribs were super delicious too!

The best quality food in Melbourne. Authentic Israeli flavors prepared in a spotless kitchen and presented stylishly. In winter the courtyard in fitted with flattering lighting with heat lamps. In the summer you can dine amongst the banana trees & wild rose canopies, a perfect setting for a private party. The staff are very accommodating & charming. New Jaffa is Collingwood’s hidden gem for caliber & cuisine.

Been here at 3 PM Saturday, very friendly and welcoming. We had the mushroom and meat Arayes pitas which both enjoyed. The taste was very different and delicious. We also had Israeli salad which basically was Shirazi salad and very refreshing. The Sonac Paloma cocktail was different and nice. We enjoyed the late lunch very much and would come back again.

Lovely restaurant with vibrant, fresh and delicious food. The feed me menu was generous but didn’t include some things we wanted to try, it worked out great adding things on top but next time I would definitely go a la carte. Highly recommend the beef cheeks!

Really cosy and nice restaurant. We had kebab, hummus plate and our friends had falafel and cauliflower. All the dish were with testy sauce. Everyone loved their meal and we will definitely go back there. Knafeh also was one the best knafeh I have ever had, not too sweet and very tasty.

Amazing food, very tasteful Arayas. The Cinnamon in the pitta bread made a big difference in the taste and made it memorable. Highly recommended and will go back there.

Chefs kiss! 10/10. My experience here made me feel like I was back in Israel. Every single dish we had was full of flavour and a generous amount of parsley which I loved. A small and cosy restaurant which makes the experience so nice. I highly recommend this restaurant, definitely authentic Israeli food. We will be back regularly
