Fantastic, flavorful food! We were visiting Santa Fe for a few days and ate there twice - it was that good! The atmosphere is relaxing, friendly staff. Great experience I would highly recommend Jambo Cafe to anyone looking for a taste of Afro Caribbean food.

We were in town for almost a week and couldn’t resist going here time and time again! The food was very well cooked and absolutely delicious with just the right amount of blend of savory flavors! We met the chef and it is clear they have very many repeat customers. I will definitely return anytime I am in the area.

Wonderful flavors of the Caribbean and Africa. We enjoyed some unique food that was well presented. You don't come here for the location or atmosphere, although the interior was clear and organized if not a bit worn.
Delicious food for both vegetarians and meat eaters. Great options for people who want to try something with a little or a lot of kick. Really great all around.Vegetarian options: I don't remember how it is shown, but vegetarian options are easy to find and seriously delicious.

The food here was excellent. We were a large group and the service was exceptional. We had a lot of different dishes and everything was interesting and tasty.Parking: The place is in a strip mall but don't let that deter you.

Friendly staff and amazing Caribbean cuisine. I’ve loved every dish I’ve tried. Once at Christmas, I wanted to buy a pecan pie. They only had pies in glass plates. Sold it to me and simply asked I return the dish later. Amazing experience every time I go.
My favorite place to eat in Santa Fe! Sometimes it can take a minute for your food to come out. I say this not a criticism, because they're always busy(for good reason). Rather so that you can go in with the right expectations in order to enjoy this amazing restaurant!
Having never eaten here, the server was happy to lead us down the menu path. And what a delicious journey. Not too pricey and still, worth every bite and penny. The Lemon fries blew my mind!! A must try!
The Jambo Cafe was great choice for our short stay in Santa Fe. The combination plate was super tasty… I loved the way the rice was cooked and the chickpea stew! And the jerk chicken wings …?I was sad that they had ran out of roti but we arrived late on a Friday night so I guess that’s the learning!The wine was great and my favorite part was meeting Chef Ahmed who came to check if we had enjoyed our meal.They have a beautiful store on site open as late as the restaurant which is also worth checking out!Whenever I’m in Santa Fe I’ll be stopping by to try to catch that famous Roti!!
We were there on 4/4/24. Food was okay, not stellar. The thing that made me mad was that they added an automatic 20% tip to our bill, because we had six people. Service was slow and poor -- for instance, none of us got drinks because they forgot to ask. Unfortunately, we didn't notice that the tip had been added, and we added an extra tip! If you're reading this Jambo, please refund the extra tip to the other family that shared our bill. Our bill was $138 for six people, with only water to drink and one person only getting a $10 salad. I think the total we ordered was $108, and the rest was tax and tip. Yikes!
