    We stopped in for a quick unplanned lunch the other day in between a busy day of stops and were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is really cute, I liked the Christmas decorations and overall look inside. Service was very nice and we loved our food. Very generous portions and everything was fresh and tasted great!

    Meatballs

    Super mid and overpriced food. Trying really hard to not be whatever family diner it was before it was jay jays. Also meatballs look really good but not good at all and have weird flavor

    The food here has always been great. I didn't think it tasted as good as it normally does the last time I went, but it was still good. The variety of types of food is great for a big group. The inside is cute and big, I've never had to wait. Service has always been good and quick.

    Don't judge this place by its exterior appearance. Inside they have a large renovated space. Their menu is quite expansive and has many American and Middle Eastern fusion dishes. Their chicken and beef is all halal. The fatoosh salad with chicken shawarma was pretty good. The cheesesteak sub was just ok. The meat was a bit tough and not as flavorful as I would of liked. I'd come back to try more things on their menu.

    Shawarma Quesadilla
    Bincy T.

    I come here all the time for their food, every single thing on the menu is phenomenal. My family usually orders the platters from them whenever guests come over which I love. My favorite on the menu currently is their shawarma quesadilla and the Dubai chocolate crepe. Service is always amazing and friendly and the inside is such a vibe as well. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Troy!

    full Hummus plate

    This is by far one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. My husband and I usually don't have the best luck with restaurants, either one of us leaves disappointed or it's just not wowing us. This restaurant WOWED us. He ordered a chai tea to drink and I ordered a mango lemonade, both were astounding. We thought the prices were a bit high, but since we were on our mini-moon, we figured we'd splurge a little. Turns out, the portions are HUGE. We ordered a full plate of hummus that came with pita. The hummus was delicious! Looking back, we really shouldn't have ordered it, as our dishes were huge. I got the vodka pasta with crispy chicken, and it was some of the best pasta I've ever had. The service was super quick and friendly. We loved the aesthetic of the place on the inside, I honestly wish the outside was as beautiful to show people what they're missing. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE!

    Amazing Breakfast and Dessert Experience! I can't say enough great things about my experience at Jay Jay's Bistro. I started with the Eggs Benedict, which were absolutely perfect--rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For dessert, I had the cheesecake crepes, and let me just say, they were out of this world! Sweet, creamy, and decadent--truly a dessert to remember. Our server, Brita (apologies if I'm not spelling that correctly), was fantastic. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure our meal was flawless. Her warm personality added to the great atmosphere. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and service. Five stars all the way!

    Korean Stir Fry
    Maham S.

    I loved Jay Jay's Bistro! I came here with family and enjoyed many different dishes and they were all tasty. The staff was also very friendly and fun. Here's my breakdown on what we ate: - Korean Stir Fry: "this dish was divine" according to my MIL. Had a delicious great mix of meat, veggies and sauce. - Shroom Burger: properly cooked meat (not too dry) with delicious caramelized mushrooms - Cream Chop Wrap - delicious and crunchy chops - Cajun Spicy Fettuccine Alfredo - nice twist on Fettuccine Alfredo with jalapeños - Pesto Crème Pasta I would highly recommend stopping by here and having dinner with family and loved ones!

    I had a soup and salad combo w chicken breast for the salad. The lentil soup was nice because it had a light kick of turmeric.

    This place is nice, not expensive. Service polite and observant, Food fresh and delicious including salad croutons. My 1st time here, but I'd gladly come back. I had a soup and salad combo w chicken breast for the salad. The lentil soup was nice because it had a light kick of turmeric. I got a to-go for State House Representative candidate Aisha Farooqi. She wanted to know if their meat is Halal, and they answered Yes!

    The food is really good here (I loved the lobster bisque & my friend loved her truffle fries), we liked our drinks and the restaurant is decorated nicely but the vibe here is strange. It's like they are trying to be trendy while also being a family restaurant. The customers were rude when I was there and it didn't help that the tables are way too close together. I think I need to try this place during the week and update my review but for now I will give jay jay's a 3/5.

    Chicken Marsala... veryyy big portion size. My lunch tomorrow is set

    I love everything about this place. Beautiful ambience(rustic but modern), happy welcoming BFF servers, ample spacious seating, good portion of freshly made and served food and close to home. This was my second trip to this place, definitely going to come back when want to eat hearty meal.

    Dubai Chocolate Crepes

    Amazing! The food was absolutely amazing and our waitress was fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

The place is small, but well laid out, and the service is spot on. As soon as we were seated, are drink orders were taken immediately. I love omelettes or sweet stuff for b-fast. They get them both right! First time, I got the Spinach, avocado and Swiss omelette, and my driver got the Fruit explosion crepes. We shared, of course. I'm not a potato person, so I always substitute tomatoes for potatoes, when they let me. Their tomatoes were good quality, sweet-ish, not mealy, or too snotty. The crepes were gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to eat! Second time, I got the Elvis french toast which did not disappoint! Warning, they're rich, you may need a glass of milk to wash them down. My driver got the Florentine Benedict and he loved them. They know how to do brunch!!!! I'll definitely be back.

I ordered the "Double Trouble" -- French toast loaded with cookie dough, Oreos, Nutella, and chocolate sauce. Let me just say... that dish is a train straight to diabetes. In all seriousness, it was absolutely delicious and indulgent, but definitely on the overly sweet side. If you have a serious sweet tooth, this one's for you. My wife went with the Classic Eggs Benedict, and that was excellent -- well-balanced flavors and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes, however, were a bit bland. They were cooked well texture-wise but could definitely use more seasoning. Service was so-so, though it seemed like they were pretty busy, which likely played a role. The location is great -- conveniently about a mile from Woodside Church, one of the largest churches in Michigan -- so I can imagine it gets especially packed on weekends. One important note: restroom maintenance needs attention. With only a single restroom per gender, cleanliness is critical. My wife noticed the toilet seat wasn't clean, which is something that should be addressed promptly, especially in a high-traffic establishment. Overall, the food quality was strong, particularly the main dishes, and we'd likely return -- but there are definitely a few operational details that could elevate the experience.

Awkward foyer so it is hard to find a spot to sit or stand and wait for your table. A little awkward staring at the people eating at the tables while you wait for a table for yourself. We usually retreat to the back of the restaurant there is a little hallway before the restroom that has a line of chairs in order to get out of the way from the front door. The decor could use a little makeover but at the same time it does give a warm grandma's kitchen vibe. Single stall bathroom in back is ok - feels a little grimey though. Menu has both breakfast and lunch. Be sure to get the fresh squeezed orange juice - it is a pricey treat but so worth it. They also have specials that are written above the kitchen so be sure to check those out. Staff are great and working hard hustling back and forth between tables and the kitchen. Never feel neglected or that they are too busy to check in. Food is awesome! Had a little but of everything but the quiche was my favorite. Portion sizes are great (other than the fresh squeezed OJ).
