Can you give 6 stars 🌟 for the food… if you could, we would. Have been here a couple of times now, and each occasion has been outstanding for food, service and ambiance … all of the above …. This occasion was for Melbourne Cup, but any other time “Trust the Chef” is the way to go from the menu… Love it

We visited Jafa last night and it did not disappoint. The service, ambience and most of all- food was absolutely amazing . Every dish we ordered the calamari , crispy cauliflower and the pasta’s were all so Devine and top quality! The tiramisu for dessert was honestly the best we have tried. The staff were attentive and friendly and the ambience was beautiful for a Friday night dinner out. We will definately be back . Great restaurant

We went to Kokonut Willys on Friday 6th November for a reunion lunch with ten other people. The booking process was easy and I received a message prior to the 6th to confirm my booking. Kokonut Willys is our go to for these type of lunches as the location is easily accessible to all, the food is first class and the service is very efficient. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone seeking a true dining experience.
