Jalsa Indian Cuisine | Indian Food | Indian Restaurant

We had paneer and aloo paratha, onion pakora, sev puri, and Schezwan rice with Manchurian at Jalsa Restaurant in Maryland. The paneer and aloo parathas were tasty and well made. The onion pakora had good flavor, though it wasn’t very crispy. The sev puri was enjoyable but a little on the sweeter side for our taste. The Schezwan rice went really well with the Manchurian, and the Manchurian tasted very good. Overall, it was a nice experience with flavorful food, and we’d be happy to visit again.

Jalsa Indian Cuisine is an amazing spot, especially for vegetarian food lovers. I tried their samosa chaat, and it was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent, with staff who were very friendly and kind. The restaurant has a cozy and warm atmosphere, even though it’s located inside a gas station, which makes it feel surprisingly welcoming. Overall, it’s one of the best places for vegetarian Indian cuisine I’ve visited, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for flavorful food and great service.

One of the two vegetarian restaurants in Howard County and I am a very frequent visitor. I like the Punjabi Thali, the parathas, noodles with Manchurian (I believe it is their specialty, never ever found this in an Indian restaurant with a Chinese section). Since the restaurant is located inside the deli store of a gas station, it might not be family friendly and hence we order takeout but there are 6-7 tables for a hostel/dorm like dine in option. No doubting of the quality of food. It's very delicious, very comforting and the recipes made upto specifications. Must try for vegetarians. If you are in luck, the chef packs a little extra quantity for Thalis.

Tried this restaurant for the first time and had a very disappointing experience. I ordered Veg Manchurian Fried Rice, but the Manchurian balls were undercooked and sticky on the inside. I informed the staff, and they prepared it again, but the problem remained the same. The Manchurian was over-fried on the outside—very dark in color—yet still raw inside. While the kitchen and hygiene seemed good, the food quality was not up to the mark. Overall, it was not worth the money.

We had food here on Christmas day and it was a definite surprise. It is within a gas station so we had low expectations and wanted to order only a couple of dishes to try but landed ordering 7 dishes for 3 people. All of them were delicious. We had dosa, vada, masala khichadi and chai. The taste was like home made food and made fresh to order. If you love Gujarati food then this place is a must visit.
