I couldn't understand why this restaurant was not as busy for breakfast that has I thought it could be. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful establishment and a wonderful place to enjoy breakfast. I think if you're looking for something a little bit different but still really good, I definitely will go here. We loved our breakfast so much.nnWe got the pancakes with the sauce on the side. It seemed to be a date and fig type of a sauce for the pancakes. I loved it. Fresh food on the side was also really good. Pancakes were excellent.nnI got the Arabic meat omelette which was also a delight. Perfectly cooked eggs. I enjoyed the meat filling. The fresh pita bread was out of this world and their hummus was also excellent.nnThe juice was very good. We had an Arabic coffee. If you've never had it, I'm not an expert, but it's very similar to Turkish coffee only much stronger and more bitter in my opinion.nnService was professional. They were excellent. They were attentive and not intrusive. The staff there was wonderful. You didn't know that they were around but they were always there to make sure everything was perfect.nnObviously they took credit cards and accepted my Amex with no problems.

If you're looking for Lebanese deli food and want variety, this is the place.nThe service, the food, and everything else were very good.nThere are lots of fresh flowers everywhere, and you can tell everything is handmade.nThe only thing is that you'll have a hard time finding parking, and the space is open and they don't have heaters, so you'll be cold during the rainy season.

During my recent visit to JAYI Mediterranean Restaurant in Mexico City, I was excited to dive into a variety of dishes! We ordered around 7 to 8 items from the menu, and I have to say, it was quite the feast. Each dish had its own unique flair, but the standout for me was definitely the chicken shawarma.nIt was incredibly flavorful, with perfectly marinated chicken that was juicy and tender—truly a delight! While the other dishes were certainly enjoyable, nothing quite compared to the savory goodness of that shawarma. It was definitely a highlight of our meal and left me wanting more!nThe ambiance was cozy, and the service was fantastic, making our dining experience even better. Overall, JAYI is a lovely spot to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, and I’ll certainly be back to savor that chicken shawarma again. If you find yourself there, make sure to give it a try!

Pretty bad, the falafel is pretty good, otherwise the salad has a lot, really TOO MUCH onion, the chicken shawarma lacks flavor even though it has a lot of seasoning, the service is terrible, really bad, we were served by 3 different people and everyone was confused, disorganized, making bad jokes and talking badly about them (?). I would never go back.

We took breakfast at the place and the experience was great. Shared baba ganush and the quality of the olive oil was great. The jordanian mint tea very tasty. Fig, honey and jocoque toast is a must try if you are craving for something sweet. Mariana’s service was awesome.

The food was good, the service poor. They forgot to bring a dish, and we had to cancel dessert after waiting more than 15 minutes.

The food was delicious, with fresh ingredients and impeccable presentation. Each dish seemed better than the last. The service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and always smiling—you can really tell when the staff enjoys their work. Plus, the cocktails are next-level—creative, balanced, and perfect for pairing with the food. Definitely a place we want to return to soon. Highly recommended!
