Jaffa in Preston

Just straight up great food at a great price. Lovely staff and the quality has not even dropped a single bit since I used to come here during my uni degree some years back! I recommend the steak burger and wedges, absolutely divine. Of course give the special sauce a go too. Tried the babaganoush this time round too and it is amazing. My friend tried the mix grill platter and it looked out of this world. Do yourself a favour if you’re in Preston and eat here! They do only take cash as far as I know, but there is a cash machine at the Tesco next door :)

Quality food. Had a mixed grill. A1

Ordered mixed grill . Very disappointed.

my friend used to frequent here many years ago and decided to bring me today. i’m so glad he did! it was delicious. we started with the houmous and baba ganoush which were lovely ! my friend got his regular degular steak burger (which was as good as he remembers) and i got the jaffa mix grill. usually kofte is my least fave part of a mixed grill for me but jaffa’s was really delicious and flavourful ! the chicken and lamb pieces were succulent and the lamb chop was incredible ! would definitely recommend dousing everything in the special sauce !!! the star of the show really was the WEDGES . get them if it’s the last thing you do

Delicious food! We came here for our works Christmas do and we weren't disappointed. Chicken shwarma was delicious. Lamb chops looked amazing too! Service was brilliant and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. Looking forward to sampling Jaffa desserts soon too!

I had heard such good reviews about Jaffa, and I recently visited this place, and it's absolutely true. The food is amazing and we enjoyed it very much. The service is good too, nice friendly staff.

The food is absolutely impeccable, and it’s no surprise the place is always packed every time I visit. The staff are friendly, hardworking, and incredibly accommodating, even with the constant hustle of such a busy restaurant.

The food was amazing, so so tasty. The hospitality and service was impeccable from start to finish. Although it was extremely busy when we came in, we were seated within 10 minutes and food came about 10 minutes after we ordered. Beautiful flavours. I feel their portion sizes are not really ideal if you want to share, unless there’s an option for a full version. Thought the mixed grill was quite a small portion with only one kofte and one lamp chop. However, a very heart warming meal with fabulous flavours. They have also recently opened a Jaffa’s cafe where they sell baclava, basbousa and other delights - would highly recommend. We went there for desserts and again, the portion sizes are great and definitely a great fix if you have a sweet tooth. Hopefully will be coming back soon.

Delicious grills which is the best I tried so far. Staff are extremely polite. Highly respectful of timings. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a top quality food

Mashallah, it is a very beautiful thing

Best food in town but they tend to hush you along fairly often and don't have up-to-date furniture or tables.

I visited here for the first time. And it was a complete disappointment. The plate they call mixed kebab consists of 80% rice, potato chips and salad or hummus and they present it as kebab. If you say hygiene, it is up to God. The experience I gained here is that it is not about what people eat but everything about whether a place is popular or not. I congratulate them for being so popular with such a quality service.

Great place for charcoal grilled Mediterranean style cuisine. Informal setting. Excellent authentic dips including hummus and baba ganoush and grilled meat mains are exceptionally good. Big portions and unpretentious eating experience. All about the food at Jaffa

Called in for a “light” lunch. We ordered 4 wraps, which were delicious and really filling. Most people were ordering bigger meals and we’ll definitely be back to try the mixed grill. Staff were friendly, service was quick, toilets clean and prices good (cash only.)

Their pizza are something else 💯💯

Last minute post Christmas family meal for 7. All the food was fantastic. I had the Shish Kebab with chips and others had chicken and pizza and mixed kebab. All brilliant. Very friendly helpful staff. Parked at Trinity Square. Can't wait to return. Go to Jaffa across the road for desserts. Huge Baclava selection, milk shakes, you will love it.

High price and low quality of food,not a clean atmosphere, no one wears a cap or mask for hair and long beard while cooking

Staff members are very rood especially long hight old lady talks very rood. Food is dry when served but u cant complain because they don’t apologise.

Great value cash only Halal restaurant. No alcohol, soft drinks are not the usual brands (doesn’t sell Coke or Pepsi products), great variety of meat and veggie, generous portions. Asian kebabs, pizza, wraps, salads, mixed grill

One of my favourite spots for food always unreal

Amazing food and great portions

The food here has been reliably fantastic for the past decade - never disappoints. The only catch is the size of this place; finding a table at peak times can be a bit of a mission, and once you’re seated, you might feel like you’re practically dining with the folks next to you. Not ideal if you’re after a private chat, but hey, at least you can bond over the food! Did NOT accept card payment on our visit. Staff verbally confirmed the food here is halal.

Delicious food, really good prices The lb chips and rice are out of this world 😊

10/10 excellent service. The food was amazing: homemade, fresh, and a large portion. Highly recommended. Definitely will go back.

Absolutely amazing food. The portions are on the large dude. It all looks and smells delicious. Best pizza I have had in some time. Make sure you visit the Jaffa over the road for afters. I had pistachio cheesecake it was divine. The guys who run it are lovely. Omar is lovely and so sweet. Don't miss it

The food here is incredible. I had chicken shawarma with half chips and rice, and pitta and hummus. Insanely delicious! Partner had lamb shawarma which was equally as good! The seating area is small and you'll probably be close to other parties, it was hustling and bustling with a nice buzz. But do bear it in mind if you don't like close spaces.

Very nice food, elite taste. Would recommend

This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Preston. It's gets very busy so I normally order a takeaway. Avoid Sat evening as it's quite hectic.

Can't fault it, food is fabulous & everyone is friendly & helpful 😋

Food quality was great but was just salty. Rice and kofta kebabs were seasoned too much.

The sweets are allright..would suggest the cheesecake and rice pudding thingy..however not a fan of the pistachios having color in it.

Krystyna is a wonderful lady, the food is fab but service is awesome 🤘

Food at Jaffa Preston incredible service fantastic with in ten minutes I got table for my family of four food excellent thanks for staff

Food is very tasty and delicious but we had bad experience with polish watres she is very rude we felt that she is racist she servesfood with with very bad face 😈 I feel bad to say that because the food is delicious 😋

Always good to visit very quick service if you want a big plate of delicious food then go here you will be happy no matter what you ordered. Sit in is a bit of a hit and miss it can be very busy but they go take aways. Special sauce is on the table make use of it👌 cash only but they do accept bank transfer

Busy place ..nothing fancy but tasty food

This is by far the best restaurant in the world. This dish deserves Michelin star!

Very generous, amazing staff, excellent food!

Fantastic food and service. Will.be back from Ireland 🇮🇪

Went to Jaffa tonight, our favorite Restaurant in Preston. Meal Lamb cops was excellent as it always is. After tried Their new deserts venue across the street serving Arabic style sweets and drinks. Very different and very very good,a fantastic change. Tried Arabic style ice-cream Absolutely brilliant. Well Done Jaffa we wish you all every success, you deserve it. best wishes Vass & Chris Kelly

By far the best Arabian restaurant in the UK.

Flawless, everything was spot on

I had the special Jaffa mixed grill. It was cooked really fresh. The meat was juicy and tender. I had mine with rice and salad. The salad was fresh and the rice was nicely cooked. The portion sizes were brilliant. I will definitely go back here or try a take out next time.

Ate here last night (lamb kabob) - exquisite! It was so good that, of the various dining options we'd considered for this eve, we unanimously agreed to come back. Excellent again!! Grilled meat seasoned just right, rice in large portion also with delicious seasoning, & accompanied by a fresh greens salad of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley & red onion. We (age 70 & age 80) usually order 1 meal to split when eating out. Did that here & the VERY generous portions made that a wise choice. Every morsel was sublime. Although a small restaurant, if you want intimate, that's not here. Busy, bustling, laughing, friendly place to eat. Wait-staff & cook-staff non-stop hustle; wait time for a table & for your food, is amazingly fast. This eve the server who brought our meal, seeing that we were sharing it for 2, asked if we wanted more salad..... & brought us another one! Then asked if we wanted more hummus or some pita bread. We explained we'd only paid for 1 meal, that was too generous of her. Before we knew it, she was back with more hummus & pita!!! EVERY SINGLE STAFF PERSON that we encountered was so friendly and gratious. We leave town tomorrow a.m; if not, we'd be back to Jaffa for another marvelous meal.

Good food, very generous portions. £20, you need CASH. Very busy so don’t expect to be in and out quickly.

They won't accept card ,it's cash only.

Amazing as usual Best place in town For parking - St marys car park behind - paid parking not free

Very delicious food Space is a bit tight, but the taste overcome the tight space. Highly recommend it.

The food is extremely wonderful and delicious. The next time we will choose Jaffa Restaurant again. In addition their staff are polite and friendly. Specifically, the Syrian waitress (I don’t know her name) is so kind and helpful.

Consistently served best middle eastern dishes

Food of this restaurant was very tasty and staffs are very friendly. They will do their level best to have a bang for your buck experience. 😋 #yummy #greatservice #valueformoney

I went to this place and the queue was very long the decorations were poor the food was horrendousand the service was okay I guess would not recommend horrible I'm not coming here again.

The food is consistently good here!

Fantastic value for money Mediterranean restaurant. Delicious hummus and pita and chicken kebabs with Jaffa rice. Owners are lovely people. Cash only (there’s an ATM close by)

Best grilled food I’ve ever had, been many times never disappoints

It's just a great place to eat informally.

We live in Spain but when we are back in Preston uk we love going to Jaffa . The food is amazing ! Especially lamb chops and chicken kebabs the portions are large and you can choose the side order between salad , rice or chips or even have some of each . Jaffa definitely has a great atmosphere and is always busy . Cant wait till we visit uk again

Masha Allah, we had very delicious Jaffa food this evening, it is very different taste and also their service is excellent brother Muhammad Ashfaq has introduced jaffa restaurant and now Jaffa is our favourite restaurant in Preston. I strongly recommend to everyone about jaffa restaurant Preston. Definitely you will be enjoy jaffa food. Thanks Abid Mirza Oldham

Good cheap food. Can get very busy.

Absolute perfection - incredible food, welcoming staff and a great atmosphere. We enjoyed every second!

The food was great , one of the best in Preston. The soft drink section is not that great, don’t have enough options.

Onions on burger when asked for no salad, chicken was pink and lacked flavour, wall was stained with weeks old food stains.

amazing! some of the best food in Lancashire i always walked past and thought nah but since we decided to go in we realised it was the best chicken stroganoff is amazing has a really nice creamy flavour the mix grill is really good everything on the menu is excellent pizza is awesome lots of cheese and unique flavours

Food is good but the sitting area is too congested and at peak hours you need to wait for long time.

When any reason I have to go preston, I have to eat at Jaffa restaurant! Always delicious!! See you soon!

The food was delicious. A good find. Would recommend, would visit again if I was in area. Lovely

Best place to stay, good food, quiet, free Internet.

Great food world recommend and certainly would goooooooo back, shame you can't park closer

I loved it but the main problem was they only accept cash payments. On the other hand the food was delicious 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I recently popped into this restaurant while passing by, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with the staff going out of their way to make us feel welcome. Their friendliness and attentiveness were top-notch, creating a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. The food itself was excellent. We started with falafel and tabbouleh, both served with creamy houmous, garlic-rich toum, and what I believe was shatta sauce. Each bite was bursting with flavor—the falafel was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and the tabbouleh was fresh and vibrant. The combination of these starters, along with the sauces, was simply delightful. For the mains, we ordered two mixed grills, and I have to say, it was hard to fault anything. The meats were cooked to perfection, with a great balance of tenderness and char. Each skewer offered a unique and delicious flavor, making it clear that quality ingredients and careful preparation were priorities in this kitchen. In summary, this restaurant is a hidden gem with exceptional food and welcoming service. Alhamdulillah, it was a truly satisfying experience, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit even if your are 2.5 hours from us!!!

Absolutely delicious fresh tasty food. I can’t wait to return!!

Food is brilliant however it’s a bit cramped as there isn’t much space

Memories of Preston scholarships 💕

Staff behavior is rude always and they seems to be very hurry position, if the resturant is busy they should know its al because of customer and customer service should be priority

I strongly recommend it, it's worth it

Come every year to preston and I have to visit this restaurant. Beautiful food with great service.

The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Eat out with work and this place still hits harder than any other , it’s busy but that just makes it more impressive that the food tastes so good, is there really anywhere else to eat in Preston when you have jaffas …?

Dodgy, Shady what else do you want me to say? Don't take cards. Want only cash Customer service is not one of the best but you can live with it. The taste is alright. So If you like average that might be your thing.

They have really good food,and its one of the best food ive ever tasted in my entier life so far.

Very delisous food,and really good service.And every thing is top.

Unbelievable food here lamb chops are beautiful and chicken shawama

Tiny space ,self service .food is great though

This food is exquisitely good. I went with my beautiful dad to have a meal. We ordered the margarita pizza and it came fairly fast. The cheese melts of the bread and the crust is cooked to perfection.

Preston's best! Mixed grill is something else. Every piece of meat, grain of rice, the salad, hummus and all sauces were unbelievable. Thank you.

Great food and never fails to impress. Big portion sizes from the grill and have plenty left for lunch the day after.

Been coming to this restaurant since I started university and today was my graduation and decided to come here again for what (I hope is not) the last time. Fantastic food, great vibes, great prices and the service is impeccable. You can’t go wrong

It tastes good but the prices are high

Vibrant, busy and lively is the atmosphere! Friendly, professional and well managed service. This place is always packed! And rightly so, good classic selections on the menu for everyone, their food is lovely, well seasoned, not spicy, great portions. Family friendly with children, clean and very affordable. I'v been a few times now with only Two people at a time, myself and a friend for £27 dinning in, always bring cash. You can order to takeaway aswell but its collection only. Can't wait to go back again. They are very considerate of all their guests and try to be as accomodating as possible.

Home cooked food quality and massive portions to match! A real delight to eat in. Although it is cheap surroundings, what do you expect? It's a sit down kebab shop. The kitchen is a furnace of fresh food being produced constantly. The aromas of good are truly mesmerising. There's a reason why this place is usually packed. Go and eat here, you definitely won't be disappointed!

Busy and one of the best restaurants to eat in preston. Food is top tier, prices are higher than most places but nevertheless good. Need more seating
