- Golgappa - the puri and filling were nice but the pani was pretty mediocre plus it was very cold
- Lasooni Saag - was nice but dry, so it was good with their parathas but not with their rice. And the parathas were surprisingly mediocre
- Kulfi Duo - mango and pista flavors. The pista tasted really bad and the mango was better in comparison but overall they were still not good. Definitely the worst kulfi I've ever had
- Kari-yal cocktail - which was a coconut and curry leaf infused rum cocktail. This was the highlight, it was very innovative and delicious!
Given that I had very high expectations from Jazba, I was pretty disappointed with the food. The flavors were mediocre at best.
Anish was an amazing server. The food was also authentic and delicious!

We dined at Jazba during restaurant week and went straight of the curated menu for the week. The proteins were cooked very well and the spices were balanced. My wife even compared the goat curry to her ma’s mangsho.

Solid but expensive
Jazba is an ambitious restaurant with flashes of real excellence, but it remains a place where intention occasionally outpaces execution. At its best, the kitchen shows a clear understanding of bold Indian flavors and modern presentation; at its weakest, that ambition drifts into inconsistency and restraint where confidence is required.
The room sets expectations high. Jazba’s atmosphere is energetic and polished, designed for a contemporary dining crowd that values style as much as substance. Unfortunately, the food does not always rise to that promise.
Starters reveal the restaurant’s uneven footing. Some dishes arrive well-seasoned and texturally sound, while others feel overworked or underpowered. Tandoor-driven items show respectable char but sometimes lack depth beyond surface-level spice. Where smoke and marinade should integrate into the protein, flavors occasionally feel layered on top rather than developed through.
The main courses are similarly mixed. Curries display competent technique — sauces are smooth, plating is clean — but several lean too heavily on richness without delivering sufficient aromatic complexity. Cream and butter soften the edges where sharper spice definition would elevate the dish. Proteins are generally cooked properly, yet few preparations leave a lasting impression, especially when measured against the restaurant’s pricing and positioning.
Rice dishes and breads are serviceable but fail to distinguish themselves. Naan arrives warm but without the blistered char or chew that signals careful tandoor handling. Biryani, a dish that demands discipline and layering, feels assembled rather than composed — satisfying in portion, lacking in perfume and structure.
