Jalwa:modern Indian Dining - Montclair

Excellent food and authentically spicy with a great range of tastes across dishes. Biryani was the highlight well balanced and light. Good too see some less common dishes on the menu too. Only negative is the Vindaloo was a little too red probably a bit heavy with the coloring whereas Kashmiri chili would do the job itself.

I was pretty upset at the cost of the food and how much it brought in the tub. It was mostly sauce and about 5 pieces of cubed chicken, for $54, it was not enough food. Taste was great, but it did not bring the amount of food it should have for $20 per plate.

I've eaten at this restaurant before and thought it was excellent. Sadly, my food wasn't so good when it was delivered. The tandoori chicken was ridiculously spicy when I asked for it mild in the notes. The mango lassi was very tart and needed more sugar. Overall, it wasn't a great experience. However, being that the restaurant was so good when I dined there in person, I'm willing to give it another try.

Staff here is super accommodating to my food allergies and always helpful to help me figure out what to eat. I appreciate their service and the food is delicious!

Best Thai in town!
