    I had a fantastic experience at Jalwa! From the moment we walked in, Jason made us feel incredibly welcome. He is exceptionally accommodating and truly goes above and beyond for his guests. If you like your food with a kick, this is the place—I asked for spicy, and Jason made sure the kitchen delivered actual heat! He even took a few special requests and executed them perfectly. The food was delicious, the ambiance was lovely, and the service was top-notch. I’ll definitely be back!

    Food was alright but terrible service definitely not good for large orders. If you do decide to place a large order don't pay first. Gave them a great tip and spent about $400. They decided to close the kitchen early and deliver my food an hour early which it was cold by the time we got to eat it. There's plenty of other restaurants near by with great service.

    Elegantly though sparely laid out. Modern and inviting. The menu is quite extensive, with a number of North Indian specialties not often found. We did the luncheon menu: Chicken Korma and Goat Rara Bhuna (1 mild and 1 spicy). Accompanied by an app, basmati rice, dal, choice of breads and dessert. Quantities were fine for normal appetites. Flavors and execution were very good, and genuine. Lots of veg options. The owners are sons of owner of the wonderful Bukhara Grill in NYC. We will definitely be back: highly recommended.
