One of the most unique experiences in the east bay. The flavors and the service excel. A must for a night with friends. It has a airy and social feel.
The saffron infused cocktails and modern take on Afghan food we're memorable.

Our second visit to this lovely restaurant was for their Valentine's Day prix fixe dinner. We had a truly lovely time. One of the best date night dinners either of us can remember. Through four courses, which were paced perfectly, we enjoyed interesting and unique flavors including a fresh salad that was a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds, an excellent steak tartar with a quail egg that we were invited to mix in to the tartar, and a whole cornish game hen stuffed with a lovely spiced rice. The game-hen was especially fun as it came with gold-plated shears to help us divide it between the two of us. Dessert was equally delicious, again with unique flavors and a beautiful presentation. It was an exquisite and fun meal. This is a beautiful restaurant with excellent service and truly artful food. It's top notch.

Amazing food, warm cozy atmosphere on NYE, and the staff is so welcoming and accommodating (my wife is gluten free and dairy free and everything is labeled and the waitress was so knowledgeable). We’re huge fans of Parche, which is Jaji’s sister restaurant, and it’s got the same exciting delicious food and atmosphere. Definitely part of the regular rotation now. Thank you Jaji!
Jaji was amazing. We mostly went with what they recommended and it was really good. The Kebabs were so tender and moist. We enjoyed the food and look forward to going back to Jaji.
This was my wife and my first time experiencing Afghan cuisine, and it did not disappoint.
We are both big fans of Parche, so had a certain level of expectation going into this meal. Safe to say, my expectations were exceeded, as every plate was just as beautiful as the interior design.
We sampled many grilled meats, but don’t sleep on the mushroom pakora! Oh and it’s very accommodating of dietary restrictions, as my wife has a gf diet, which was easy to navigate on the clearly labeled menu. Dessert was excellent too.
5 stars, will return!

Liked everything… except the food. The atmosphere is solid for a date night, cozy with low lighting. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced, using uncommon ingredients like cumin and saffron. Unfortunately, everything from the kebabs to the pakora were under-seasoned. The food is well-presented and visually appealing, but that ultimately makes the blandness more disappointing.

Absolutely loved Jaji and I can’t wait to visit again.
Booked a reservation for 2 on Saturday evening— no issues. Ordered the triangles and cabbage dish for apps, chicken and steak kabobs, and the lamb as the main dish with some saffron rice. Everything was so tasty and the cabbage dish was out of this world. We ended our night with the saffron ice cream— it was wonderful. I felt like all their food was magic. The flavors were amazing, there was nothing missing from any dish. I wish them much success in downtown oak!
