Really nice Service and food. The Menü IS great and somewhat refreshing. WE Had the gazpacho mango, mezza, and tortilla and in requests they also gave a smaller Portion of Falafel. Nice and friendly Service, nice atmospherer. Highly recommendable 4.5-5//5

Great food, great ambience, great location. They could light the outside tables a bit better, but this was our only observation. Very nice indeed.

This restaurant was sublime in every way. The service was friendly and professional, the ajoblanco soup the best I have ever had and the cold dulce de leche cheesecake delicious. Plus a beautiful view. Not to be missed!

primero, segundo plato, postre, everything delicious. Dolce de queso as postre to lay in. And with croquetas de pollo came a salsa with tomato and cinnamon which was gorgeous. Very nice staff.

We have been going to the Califa Tapas for many years. Always make a trip to Vejer so as to have Tapas here. Excellent in every way.

Califa Tapas is a great choice, especially if you're looking for vegetarian options. They had a really good variety to choose from, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was also super friendly and accommodating. We arrived just before 4:00 p.m., right as the kitchen was closing, but they were still willing to serve us, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a very happy experience here

Fabio Biocchetti

Our experience here has been amazing. Each one of the tapas we ordered was fresh and tasty. Patatas bravas, Iberian pork and berenjenas con miel (fried eggplant with honey) were the main highlights. Friendly service, it could have been quicker but overall was ok, and good price-quality ratio. I’d love to visit again soon!

Been in the general area three days and this is easily the best food we’ve had (my Spanish hosts agree). Staff are helpful and attentive too. Show up early: we sat immediately at 1:45, but by 2 there was a 10-deep waiting list!

Fabulous location and the best light meal that I have had for a long time. The tuna was cooked perfectly. Great service as well.

Arrived around 19.45 and place was empty but was full by 20.30. Really good choice of tapas ,had the Canary Island potatoes ,deep fried goats cheese ,cod fish croquettes and tuna with butterbeans …

Ambiente demasiado oscuro durante el día. La comida bastantes buena y el servicio dentro de los normales, 10 min para el primer plato y 5 para los segundos. La cuenta es de 39€ por una hamburguesa, una ensalada de pollo 3 cervezas y espinacas con queso.

Buen sitio con calidad precio muy razonables. Limpio y con camareros con mucho trabajo pero siempre muy agradables. Calidad muy buena cantidad quizá muy ajustada. Buen precio unos 25€ de media por persona con bebida. Es un lugar muy agradable

Versión de tapas del famoso restaurante del Califa en Vejer. Nos tomamos unas berenjenas con miel, y dos tipos de carne. Platos sabrosos y nos atendieron bastante rápido y sin tener reserva. A la entrada nos dijeron que no había sitio para cenar sin reserva ni posibilidad de sentarnos. Decidimos preguntar a otro miembro del personal y nos dijo que sin problema nos sentaba y así fue…

Tenía muchas ganas de conocer este lugar del que tan bien me habían hablado siempre y por fin tuve la oportunidad, optamos por Califa tapas, ya que queríamos algo más informal, aunque queda pendiente y asegurada la visita al Jardín del Califa tras esta gratificante experiencia. Día de levante en pleno verano y decidimos comer en su agradable y amplia terraza. Pedimos todo para compartir y comenzamos con el frito de espinacas, gambas y queso, de envoltorio fino y suave al paladar, relleno cremoso y sabroso donde se apreciaba y respetaba el sabor tanto de la espinaca como la gamba y el toque de queso ya creaba la armonía perfecta, nos encantó. Seguimos con unos breuats de ternera, unos triángulos de hojaldre con carne, queso y nueces, bien cocinados, nada grasientos con un relleno contundente y bien rico, nos gustó mucho. Para finalizar lo hicimos con unos pinchos de pollo al estilo oriental con arroz y salsa de curry, el macerado de la carne brutal y la salsa curry suave y cremosa, un plato muy bueno. No puedo finalizar sin hacer mención especial al servicio prestado, atento, profesional y muy amable. Lo comentado anteriormente con 2 copas de vino ascendió a 41.90€, relación calidad precio correcta. Si estás por zona, no dudes en hacer parada en este lugar.

Bien, preguntamos para cenar 2 personas sin reserva y nos atendieron de momento. Precios razonables respecto a la zona. Pedimos berenjenas fritas con miel que estaban muy buenas, y el camarero nos recomendó los pinchos de pollo al estilo oriental que estaban acompañados de arroz blanco y una salsa al curry muy suave que estaba buenísima. El servicio bien y el ambiente muy tranquilo y acogedor.

Edit : came here for some dinner and wow it was incredible food, fabulous and fast service. 10/10 Only stopped in here for some dessert. The cheesecake was well balanced between sweet and sour. It was topped with a gorgeous Italian merengue.

Meze starter was fantastic, lovely and fresh, big portion. Fish stew was a little disappointing if I’m being honest. The Hake that sat onto of the stew base was overcooked and I wondered if it had been microwaved to reheat?? The base of the stew was tasty with nice mussels on top. For dessert I ordered the merengue topped cheese cake pot but I was given a slice of lemon cheesecake instead and told they didn’t have the pots available this night but the cheesecake was the same…. it wasn’t, I wanted the pile of toasted almond topped meringue! Cheese cake was nice but not the same. Ambiance lovely and the staff are great…..7/10 overall.

We have eaten here before and have never been disappointed. As always the food and service was very good. The setting is lovely, the restaurant is always busy. I would recommend to go and enjoy the wonderful Moroccan food.

Leonardo

Nice restaurant with terrace. Good prices and a variety of menu. Excellent customer service. I recommend almost the whole menu.

Carlos U Reynoso

Really good place to have Moroccan style tapas in vejer. The food was pretty nice and not expensive. The server treat us great and you could see he was attending everybody quite well. Downside were the toilets, you would expect them to have them cleaner in such a place. For the rest we would definitely go back and recommend it.

A row of open air terrace type restaurants on the promenade of Verjer with magnificent vistas. We stopped here, late afternoon for a quick aperitive and tapas. What a mistake. With ours, four tables…

Muy agradable la terraza y buenas vistas. Se está fresquito. En cuanto a las tapas, no tienen nada que ver con el El Jardín de Califa, solo en pequeñas tapas…. Nos quedamos con ganas de más en cuanto a parecido con el restaurante principal. El trato fue muy bueno.

Camareros atentos buen trato . La comida buena , muy recomendable las albóndigas de pollo al curry, y el pisto. Esperábamos algo más por las recomendaciones que nos dieron, algo caro para lo que comimos.

Destacar el servicio de los camareros, su amabilidad y recomendaciones, sobre todo de la camarera. El local me ha parecido muy acogedor la parte interior. La comida diría que normalita. Mezze del califa: estaba bien aunque creo que de los 4 platos que incluye, deberían de venir por separado, ya que dos de ellas son tipo ensalada con su aderezo y ese caldillo se mezcla con las otras dos que son cremosas, además vienen con Dos panes tipo pita pequeños, se queda corto con Dos. - Fritos de queso de cabra: muy rico de verdad. Presa ibérica: era diferente, por el toque de especias y bueno, estaba bien. -Croquetas de pollo: lo mejor la salsa un poquito dulce, muy buena.La croqueta en si, un rebozado fino cosa se agradece pero era un mazacote, no tenía nada de cremosidad. Dulce de queso y caramelo: muy rico ,de lo mejor.

The food is good, the setting is lovely… but the service! I’m never been served by such an arrogant staff. When we tried to ask the bill, we were ignored completely. Finally, an arrogant girl showed up and presented the bill without a word. When we payed she turned her back and left… no thank you, no good evening. Where is the time that the place was owned by a friendly Irish lady when service was impeccable. Sad!

El servicio horrible. Tardaron en tomarnos nota porque solo había una persona encargada de eso que ni estaba atenta ni salía. Cuando preguntabas a otro camarero te respondía que “de tomar nota de la comida se encarga otra compañera”. Había varias mesas y ni siquiera llevaban orden. Tuvimos que pedir el pan y servicio que iban a cobrar igual. La hamburguesa de retinto no preguntaron el punto y la calidad de la carne ni del pan era muy regular. Una pena porque íbamos con muchas ganas

La verdad es que los camareros que nos atendieron fueron majísimos, además llegamos un poco justas para cenar y nos atendieron sin problema, pero la atención y la pinta de los platos no lo son todo… Primero pedimos una croquetas que estaban bastante sosas y secas, parecían congeladas. Después pedimos papas arrugas con mojo picón que bueno, patatas con pimentón, no había mucho más allá… También pedimos el filete de atún que no podía estar más tieso y pasado de punto además de bastante soso. Por último pedimos el pincho de pollo al limón, que es que no podía estar más tieso, se hacía bola en la boca y eso que todo era para compartir entre 4 personas. Por no hablar del calabacín y el puré de patata que estaban insípidos. Esto ya es un añadido personal: entiendo que para llenar los platos pongan lechuga en todos lados, pero no hace falta tanta. Lo dicho, el servicio de camareros la verdad es que muy bien, pero no recomendaría la comida de este sitio…

Terrible Experience – Food Safety Concerns! We had an extremely disappointing and distressing experience at Califa Tapas Vejer de la Frontera last night. After dining there, both my wife and I suffered from severe food poisoning—I was vomiting all night, and my wife experienced intense diarrhea. When we contacted the restaurant representative to report our condition, he admitted that the lamb and fish they served were frozen, something that was not disclosed on the menu. This is highly misleading and completely unacceptable, especially considering the health risks associated with improperly stored or handled frozen meat and seafood. A restaurant should be transparent about the quality and freshness of its ingredients, and at the very least, ensure that food is stored, prepared, and served safely. Given our terrible experience, I strongly urge others to be cautious before dining here. We expected a pleasant meal, but instead, we ended up with a serious health issue. I hope the restaurant takes this matter seriously and improves its food safety standards and menu transparency immediately. Would not recommend. Zero stars if I could.
