Jay from Jaba Grill and Bar

Jay's dream: the best steakhouse in Christchurch

Jay opened the doors of Jaba Grill and Bar on Lichfield Street in 2018, bringing with him 25 years of hospitality excellence & experience in Auckland, Sydney & Port Macquarie.

Since then Jaba has grown from local favourite to one of the most talked about spots for steak in Christchurch, climbing the ranks to become Christchurch's #1 steakhouse on Google and TripAdvisor.

Along with his wife Monica, Jay is often on the floor ensuring customers receive his humorous and attentive service, making Jaba a place where all are welcome, offering the best of kiwi hospitality.
