JALWA INDIAN GRILL — Restaurant in Draper

This was my family's first trip to Jalwa since it used to be the former Aroma Indian restaurant that we have patronized for years. The new interior refresh is nice, modern, and inviting...and a pleasant departure from the typical Indian restaurant... Although I think some modern cultural artwork, paintings, and decorations would be very fitting as an add-on to the Jalwa restaurant. Our waiter was very pleasant although spoke in hushed tones...and it was difficult to hear him. He also got a little confused as to what we were looking forwith respect to just wanting the papadums with chutney (which is a standard appetizer at most Indian restaurants that Iclve patronized,) but instead we got vegetable pakora with chutney and just plain papadums on the side. Nevertheless it was all delicious. My wife's main entree was the butter chicken and we both shared an aloo saag. I had my go-to chicken vindaloo and it was delicious. The portion size are humongous, which is a nice departure from the typical Indian restaurant where you pay $15 and get maybe half the bowl that Jalwa provides. Overall excellent experience and will be back to patronize more often.

Oh and they're new updated and revised menu is awesome! Dozens and dozens of options and it took us at least 10 minutes to get through it all to figure out...

We’re pretty picky about our Indian food and this far exceeded our expectations. They are clearly just getting started (and getting the dining area all set up) but the food was phenomenal. We went with our usuals including butter chicken, malai kofta, and saag paneer. Each one was different than what we were used to but so so good. Regular naan was only okay (a little dense) but the peshwari naan with coconut and raisins...

Visited Jalwa today on their launch day.The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the occasion feel special. The food was outstanding we had the Apricot Delight, Garlic Naan, and Paneer Butter Masala, and every dish was packed with flavor. Despite it being their first day, the service was smooth and professional. A great start for Jalwa! highly...
