In Short
Jaffa's far-reaching menu includes everything from burgers and steak tips to Middle Eastern dishes like hummus and falafel. Popular choices include grilled chicken kabob, drizzled with tahini sauce and stuffed in a round… Read Full Editorial

My Review by Shani via GrubHub on 8/8/2014

Good food, quick service I would order again

Delicious Falafel! by Kate B via Insider Pages on 8/26/2010

I love the falafel at Cafe Jaffa. Sometime I get the sandwich and sometimes the platter, but it is always perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. \r \r The service can be a bit slow, and the servers are not always as…

Israel Restaurant by Jenny R via Insider Pages on 4/27/2010

I stumbled upon this place as I was walking around Newbury St and happened to see Israeli newspapers being advertised. The food was average. It is really difficult to find quality Israeli food outside of Israel.

Such good shawarma! by JustinCanCook via Citysearch on 1/5/2010

Caffe Jaffa somehow exists in the Back Bay on Gloucester St between Boylston and Newbury. Despite being surrounded by a wasteland of overpriced Newbury Street eateries and unappealing Boylston pubs, there stands Cafe Jaffa serving up…

the best by CSMobileUser4 via Citysearch on 1/4/2010

This is a great place I like how his 2 sons work there

The best!!!! by CSMobileUser via Citysearch on 1/4/2010

Great place. I went once and it was ok. When I went the second time I wasn't disappointed. The shwarma is cut right in front of your eyes. IT WAS GREAT. I hope they start making sabich wrapped in pita made fresh in the resturant. GO THERE…

pleasantly surprised by Garrett S via Insider Pages on 3/21/2008

I have come to expect poor Israeli food anywhere in the united states outside of New York, and max's kosher deli in DC ... but Cafe Jaffa was a pleasant surprise, we got the combo dinner deal and it was great. huge portions, fast service,…

Not Authentic Middle Eastern Food!!! by Phillip J via Insider Pages on 11/6/2007

I came here on a date once, expecting some authentic falaffel. Instead what I got was some falaffel wraped in pita, with a bunch of non-middle eastern salad....including artichoke...not only was I disgusted, but I had to pretend it tasted…

My usual haunt by jfeist via Citysearch on 5/10/2007

I work nearby, and this is the place I go to for lunch most often. I get takeout more often than I sit down. The shwarma salad is something I never get tired of. The food is always good, and the vibe is low key and pleasant. Nice people…

Excellent ethnic cuisine by aaront31 via Citysearch on 7/19/2006

My partner and I are definite fans of ethnic cuisine and found this place listed in one of our travel guides on our trip to Boston. The atmosphere is very dark inside but the service was good, if not entirely fast and attentive. However,…

Good Authentic Food by w j c. via Judy's Book on 3/18/2006

Cafe Jaffa serves excellent Middle Eastern entrees with American overtones. With good kebab plates and entrees like baba ghanoush, this casual restaurant will answer your every craving of ethnic food. With all dishes costing below $20,…

A solid spot! by theduke37 via Citysearch on 2/25/2005

I had a good, inexpensive well-spiced steak here. I also thought the accompanying bread was also very nice. Overall, a pretty good value, although the service could stand to be a bit more polite and attentive. While my food arrived…

worth a stop... by FPK via Citysearch on 7/23/2002

A great little spot to get a quick eats, a nice interior and great fries! They have some things on the menu that are not typically american which is nice (turkish coffee, different beer selection, etc) they also do take out.
