I really wanted to like this place, but honestly, do not be fooled by all the positive reviews you see like I was. It seems like the restaurant spends all its energy on creating an "Instagrammable" environment and giving away freebies to bait people into leaving high ratings. People get so caught up in the decor that they completely overlook the fact that the food is mid to low quality at best. As someone from India, I expected so much more from a place claiming this cuisine. They spend a lot of time on presentation, but the taste just isn't there. We had the mixed grill appetizer, and it was a complete let down. It was lathered in so much marinade that it felt like they were trying to hide the fact that it wasn't even cooked through all the way. The service was actually pretty good, pro

Im a very tough critic and could not find a single flaw in our experience last night. Every dish, and we and 4 apps and 6 mains, were excellent. Great flavors, perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive. They truly seem to care about your experience. Bread was all good too. I travel to india for work and often entertain clients there at fancy restaurants. Jalwa put them all to shame. We are lucky to have them in Raleigh. Can't wait to return.

Really enjoyed the experience at Jalwa Indian Bistro, the food genuinely stood out and tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared in a lighter, well-balanced way without feeling greasy or overpowering. Our server Matthew was excellent; he explained the dishes clearly and gave honest suggestions, which made ordering much easier. We tried the vegetarian platter that included paneer tandoor, vada cigar roll, hara bhara kabab, and palak paneer baklava, and each appetizer had its own distinct flavor instead of tasting repetitive like most sampler platters. For the entrée we ordered the Kofta Delight made with jackfruit, and that was the star of the meal; rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. Overall, great service and flavorful food, definitely coming back again.
