Jalwa: Modern Indian Dining

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!

Jalwa is always the best restaurants in Montclair! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service is excellent. thank you to Nayen for helping us pick the perfect dishes he was super friendly. The Lamb Chops and Lasuni Gobi were absolutely top-notch! Highly recommend Jalwa for an amazing Indian dining experience! 😊🍛🔥

We ordered a delightful assortment of dishes, including samosa chat, palak chat, lasuni gobi, truffle grilled mushrooms, pickled mushrooms, lamb korma, garlic naan, rosemary naan, chilli garlic naan, alloo paratha, rasmalai, mango ice cream, and kulfi ice cream. Each dish was a culinary delight, and the staff was incredibly pleasant and welcoming, making our dining experience truly enjoyable.

Wow - the interior of the space rocks. I ordered the Goat Cheese Naan for a takeout dinner. It was huge and delicious. The staff members were all very sweet. I've heard the food here was phenomenal & the goat cheese Naan lived up to the hype !!! Highly recommend Jalwa!!!

If you're looking for a delicious and affordable Indian lunch, I highly recommend the lunch special at Jalwa Indian Restaurant. For only $13, you'll get a starter, your choice of main dish, basmati rice, dal, salad, and dessert. The food is flavorful and well-presented. The place is not very big, but for lunch it doesn't seem to get very crowded especially if you go early!

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 entrées, 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.
