• milestone birthday buyout, party of 40

  Just had a delicious meal at Jazba. We were there for a milestone bday. Our friends had booked the entire restaurant for a group of 40 friends and family. We loved the cocktails Peepli, Paan, Adraki punch. Appetizers Fav were Surat ke bread rolls, kachori Kadhi Bhujje, Galluti Kebabs. Main Course : absolute fave was Chole Bhatura. Other items were good too. Atari Paneer, Mathura ke Bedmi alu among others. Shahi Tukda, Kheer and kulfi lollipops were yummy. Overall a great time with food, friends and smiling staff.

• large party dinner

  This is going to be a new favorite for me. The food was so good and the service was friendly and attentive. We had a larger party and they made us feel very at home

• group birthday dinner

  Fabulous spot for a big group / birthday dinner. Amazing food and really attentive service!

• birthday dinner

  Overpriced. Small portions. Cold. We were there to celebrate a friend’s birthday and ordered from the restaurant week menu (one half ticket item, one full ticket). We were told we all had to do it, which didn’t really make sense. Overall the food was okay at best, and definitely didn’t set well afterwards… The place was way too cold. The staff kept telling us No (no refills on very tiny chai, no ordering from main menu if anyone wants to do restaurant week, no chai pot, no beverages outside of chai, coffee and cocktails). The only request they honored was receiving and cutting our friend’s birthday cake, and taking several pictures of us (which was very nice of them). Currently recovering from food tho, won’t come back anytime soon.

• big group dinner

  Average food at expensive price. Very Salty. We were a big group and ordered multiple items including 3 sea food dishes. The food came to table in 3 minutes. I don't understand how it's possible to make ap quick. We all wondered about how fresh it was cooked or not cooked. The staff and service was good. They were very kind and professional. They listened to my feedback as well. Ordered Bheya Fry (goat brain) it wasn't fully cooked. Fish fry was extremely salty. Railway mutton curry had plenty of bones and less meat. Less quantity as well. But it looked appealing. I am not sure if I will take an effort to go back there.
