Went there this past Sunday after Tulip Time. Staff were super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in! Our family doesn't usually indulge in Indian cuisine, so it was nice to try something new. The menu was very helpful as well, with a short explanation beneath each food item so it took a lot of stress off of us trying to figure out what dish was what. I also appreciate that they had 3 different spice levels, Mild, Medium and Hot. We ordered a bit of everything: Kadhai Prawn, Goat Tariwala, Madrasi Beef Curry, Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. I'd love to come back here if we're in the area, the food was amazing and the spice was just right for our thresholds! My personal favourite was the Goat Tariwala, the herbs and spices in that dish aren't playing around! It was soooo delicious and memorable. Thanks for looking after us. :)

Probably the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. If I could have left a zero star rating I would have, as one star really is more than this place deserves. We are Southern Highlands residents but usually get our Indian food from The Grand Indian in Mittagong, but we were recommended to try JB’s by some locals who we met a couple of weeks ago at a Christmas party. We arrived for our 7:30pm booking to a full restaurant, and were told to wait outside while a table was prepared for us. We were seated at 7:35pm and our order was taken at 7:45pm. Our order was papadums, some roti and naan breads, and three main course dishes and some rice. And a bottle of sparkling mineral water for our designated driver. We brought our own bottle of wine as it was BYO night. At 8:15 all we had received was a carafe of warm tap water. No papadums, and no sparkling water. By 8:30pm the restaurant was down to only one other table still waiting on their food, our table, and a table of two who had walked in at about 8:15pm. And at 8:30pm we were still waiting for food, though the papadums and the sparkling water that we had to beg for had been brought out. We were ravenous and devoured the papadums the moment they hit the table. At 8:33pm the table of two received their entrees despite the fact that we hadn’t received our food. And our bottle of wine was empty. Finally our food arrived at 8:37pm more than an hour after we first arrived. Our two mild curries were definitely on the medium side rather than mild. Although the fish was tender it was drowned out by the curry powder. The atmosphere in the restaurant was “different”. The Indian music playing was definitely too loud, and when it was turned down, there was immediately more conversation in the dining room. But at 8:15pm the music had stopped, and so all we could hear was the female chef and the male waiter arguing ferociously and continuously in the kitchen. We could also hear the saloon doors to the kitchen squeaking loudly every time someone went in our out through them. Because of the lousy experience, and the lack of apology or explanation, we invoked the “no dessert” rule, paid our bill, and left. We won’t be going back. And we’ll be recommending everyone we know to do what we should have done, and gone to the Grand Indian at Mittagong.

Worst Indian food Yesterday We ordered the food from here, but the food got delivered after 1hour and 50 minutes. When we opened the Chicken tikka masala it was full of orange red food colouring with half cooked chicken and few pieces of chicken was charcoal colour. Mostly it was raw and chewy. I dont understand how chicken can be burnt and raw. No flavouring on the chicken tikka only red food dye. We ordered the chicken chettinad and It was not chettinad it tasted more like a sweet dessert. And garlic Naan was more like a garlic roti. We always go to Indian restaurants in different Sydney areas specially Harris Park, Liverpool, castle Hill, blacktown, Granville, Campbelltown etc but we never had food worst than this.

I was in Bowral for Tulip festival and was excited to have Indian food. At JB's I had the worst chicken biryani so far in Australia. At least use Basmati rice to say it is Biryani guys. It was terrible, and their menu price for Chicken biryani is $19.99 but they bill it $21 + surcharge for each biryani and another surcharge on the total bill. For 3 chicken biryanis and 1 coke worth of $4, I paid total $75.25 (I did not understand that math yet). And they don't even have a hand wash in the restaurant, please avoid this place if you want to try Biryani.

Had dinner here tonight - 4 pieces of lamb, $22 palak lamb - another member had garlic prawns which resembled slop (she couldn’t eat one bite) due to rude Urdu Pakistani family having a go at her when she asked if the plastic bottle could be taken away from the 2-3yr old banging it constantly. Staff did nothing and complained then the father of set child wanted to have a fight, again staff did nothing. Would have rather taken the $95 and flushed it down the drain - more enjoyment. Please avoid for your own sake!
