The Jaya's Wine Bar

We have been back a few times and every time has been awesome, the staff make you feel so welcome. The food is amazing, a good selection of wines and there is live entertainment so its pretty much the perfect place. It is quite expensive but honestly worth saving up for the food is seriously that good.

The host was very friendly and down to earth. The food was superb - we had 3 sharing meals and then shared 1 butter chicken. The naan bread is the best I've had anywhere. And a very good selection of wine. There was live music too on the night. The premises are very clean and we'll presented. Highly recommended.

Really lovely restaurant on Bond street. We ordered two appetizers and two mains. The pork dumplings were delicious and the chicken recommended by our host really was a winner. Our mains were so good as well. I ordered the butter chicken which isnt sweet like other butter chickens but just what i was after and the right amount of spices for me. My partner ordered the beef burger and he enjoyed it as well. We used our first table deal to try The Jaya and definitely would go back 😊. Lovely vibes and good food.. also the syrah I had was a treat!!

This is a new wine bar with a well thought out theme and menu. Love the focus on NZ wines and the south Asian food theme. I loved the wine that we drank as I was skeptical of finding a red I would enjoy and complemented this with a cheese platter which is abundant. The chicken tikka followed and it just wrapped up the evening beautifully. The service and attention is what really is commendable. They really want to please you and make sure you have the best experience- so thankful for that. It was the perfect experience. A little work on creating a warm ambiance would make this the next happening spot in Wellington.
