I get my hair done close by and just being a few storefronts away this place smells amazing. My stylist told me he eats here a lot and that it was great, so was happy to finally check it out. The experience did not disappoint. Service, atmosphere, and food were on point. Food was so good I ate too much, but it was worth it. With two of us ordering two appetizers, two entrees, bread and mango chutney we left without having dessert as we just had no room, plus we left with plenty of leftovers as well. The vegetarian and vegan options were clearly marked which is always appreciated for those with dietary and allergy restrictions. Looking forward to our next visit to check out more of the dishes they offer.

I recently dined at this Indian restaurant and had a wonderful experience. I tried a few vegetarian options, and the Lasooni Gobi stood out — it was perfectly crispy and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the place is warm and inviting, with plenty of space for dine-in guests, making it a comfortable spot for both small and large groups. The staff was very cordial and attentive, and the food arrived quickly, which added to the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Indian food and a pleasant dining atmosphere.

We had lunch at Jalwa in Montclair and it was an amazing experience. The food was absolutely top-notch flavorful, authentic, and beautifully presented. We ordered Chicken Korma and Goan Fish Curry lunch specials were especially delicious. Hands down the best place to have lunch in Montclair, Highly recommend!

The environment was authentic with a flair of spice. The servers were genuine and careful with their explanation of their menu meals. The food was delicious and small portioned but full of spices and very full filling. It was a small place, and at the time of our visit it was full of people enjoying the food and atmosphere. The music was somewhat loud where we sat at the back of the restaurant as we chose for privacy. It was a mix of Pakistani/ Indian techno music which I really liked. It was the weekend and we did not have a reservation and were able to sit and eat at the last minute and were treated kindly by staff. To get to the bathroom at the back was like a maze and the walls to the hallway were painted black, kind of spooky but cool at the very same time ladies bathroom was clean.... Enjoy!
