Jazba

If you’re looking for a dining experience that perfectly bridges traditional roots with a modern heartbeat, Jazba in the East Village is a must-visit. This Indian restaurant pays a sophisticated tribute to India’s legendary street food, making it an absolute standout for dinner. To Sip The craft cocktails are a masterclass in balance. I ordered the Mulethi, a gin sour riff with passion fruit and a sweet honeycomb tuile that highlighted the beautiful, earthy aroma of licorice root. My partner chose the Jamun, a vibrant mix of gin, Ume plum, and jamun-berry puree that was incredibly refreshing. To Eat The food is a love letter to Lucknow, featuring flavors that are hard to find elsewhere in NYC: - Basket Chaat: A stunning potato basket filled with sweet potato, papdi, and chickpeas. It’s

Went here as a group of five to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and we had a great time! The cocktail menu is wonderfully unique, with hints of Indian spices, they definitely hit the spot. For appetizers, we ordered several dishes and enjoyed all of them, but the Aminabad ke Galouti stood out with its tender, juicy meat. One item, the Basket Chaat, wasn’t quite right, but the staff kindly replaced it with an even better dish. For mains, the Railway Mutton Curry, Green Chilli Chicken, and Atari Paneer were flavorful, delicious, and were just the right amount of spicy. It’s also one of the rare places that serves Roomali Rotis, and we were so glad we ordered them! Overall, it was an amazing and memorable dining experience — just a tad on the expensive side, but well worth it!

We were originally booked at Junoon, but the reservation was shifted to Jazba because there was a child in our party. This felt surprising, especially as we’ve dined at Semma with our child before, despite it also being fine dining. That said, Jazba turned out to be a very pleasant experience. The staff were kind, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, which immediately put us at ease. The food was excellent, well-prepared, and full of flavour. Overall, Jazba more than made up for the initial disappointment and saved the day. A warm atmosphere and great food made it an enjoyable dining experience.

We visited this restaurant as a group and tried several appetizers and main dishes, each one was absolutely delicious, and every dish was better than the last! I’ve been to many Indian restaurants before, but this one is definitely among the best. The flavors, the atmosphere, and the service were all outstanding. Highly recommended! 👌

We dined at Jazba during restaurant week and went straight of the curated menu for the week. The proteins were cooked very well and the spices were balanced. My wife even compared the goat curry to her ma’s mangsho.
