Lovely ambiance. Staff was on point and food was fresh and flavoursome. We had brunch there and the flavours were just beautiful. The mains did come out cold and we did not say anything so It’s on us. Otherwise beautiful food, and service with a smile:

Wow! Shaffa restaurant took my breath away. It is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney from now on. The food was brilliant, the place itself looked incredible and Juan looked after me and my colleague like queens. Thank you so much for this experience! You will see me back for sure.

This place was fantastic. Highly recommend and would come back when we’re in Sydney again. We sat at the chefs table and really enjoyed watching the clearly experienced team prepare all the food. The food itself was delicious. Particularly recommend the octopus. It might just be the best octopus we’ve ever had.

Excellent atmosphere, poor service - Only one person serving all the tables. So of course she can’t always notice that we need to fill up the water, of course our plate was never changed throughout the dining. Food was okay, but not stand out and overpriced. Some dishes were very heavy, burnt aubergine dip was quite salty. Focaccia was salty as well, we can see salt on the top of the bread. Steak, I don’t know what they use to marinate it, but it tastes very strange, and a bit hard to chew.
