10/10!!! I went to Jai-Alai for my birthday and really wanted Paella! It was my first time dining at the Jai-Alai despite living in the area for most of my life and wow, I have been missing out! I got the sangria, stuffed mushrooms with cheese/crabmeat, the paella, and the flan for dessert. The service was amazing and the staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. Highly recommend Jai Alai to anyone looking for a delicious all-around Basque-Spanish meal. This is the spot!

I found this place when I was looking for a restaurant that serves Paella. However, we didn’t go until our friend mentioned it.

We heard about this place over years and finally went. We loved all the food that we ordered. we got esgargots, stuffed msuhroom, gazpacho and paella. Try gazpacho while they have it during summer!! Paella was so good and we had some leftovers. It still tasted so goood as leftovers. Also, everyone is so nice there and very good service. White sangria is so good too!

My husband I went there this past Saturday. A diamond In the rough this place is. Very home feeling and the people were just amazing. omg!! The food was DELICIOUS! I had the stuffed lobster. For appetizers we had chorizo, escargot, shrimp in garlic sauce, and stuffed mushrooms (amazing). Definitely worth the drive, we’ll be back. Don’t be fooled by the appearance. It’s right next to the bridge very easy to miss. Parking is in front of the place. The decor is very spanish.

Exquisite culinary experience. The locale, ambience, service, and food are formidable. They have a spacious dining area for Parties and a well stocked bar. The place to go for an after work drink or a group celebration.

I have lived in the area for over twenty years and never knew this restaurant existed. It is a great gem! It’s a hard place to run into. You need to know it exist, and now I do. Loved the garlic shrimp and the flan are awesome. Will be back.

This place was recommended by a neighbor of mine who swears by it. It’s a typical little hole-in-the-wall joint with very good food and the owners/staff were incredibly friendly. I had the mushrooms as an appetizer and the cod for dinner. Both were excellent. The menu boasts their Basque region cuisine is authentic. I wouldn’t know because it was my first time eating Basque cuisine, however, it was fantastic nonetheless. This is the perfect low-key place to eat with friends/family looking to pass time over good eats and maybe even while trying something new.

This is the best kept secret in Dover, NJ. The place feels so old school, but there’s this amazing new world charm in the owners. They are accommodating and kind and funny and just wonderful. The food here is beautiful; the dishes are rich and delicious without being too much. Come with an appetite and dine at Jai-Alai while you can. This is a gem of a generation and we will be lesser for being without them one day.

Excellent Basque cuisine. It’s a rarity in this day in age to find a Basque restaurant with such authentic dishes. Having been there for 39 years, they are a true institution. I highly recommend you try it out.

Very warm and welcoming holiday atmosphere, wait staff attentive, food worth waiting for, husband ordered Paella & it was delicious! Reasonably priced and regular menus was offered, which is important to me as I’m not catholic and wanted a steak on Christmas Eve. Dessert was offered but we were so full and satisfied, we passed. Looking forward to going for dinner again.
