Wow, just happened to stumble on this restaurant on our way to an appointment in Tampa. Hands down…read morethe best Indian food we've had in central Florida. My wife had shrimp tika masala and I had chicken tika masala. The taste, texture, and spiciness were spot on. Garlic Naan was similarly spot on. I just wish they had a location near Leesburg, we will be back!

I came here recently and tried a few different items…read more The Pav Bhaji Masala Dosa was unfortunately a letdown -- not crispy at all, instead soggy and dry, which made it hard to enjoy. The sambhar, however, was flavorful and probably the best part of that dish. I wouldn't order that dosa again though. On the brighter side, the Paneer Frankie was pretty good and worth trying. We also got the Club Sandwich, which was fine -- nothing special, but tasted like a classic, standard version. I heard really good things about their vada pav so would give that a try if anyone was interested. What really took away from the experience was the ambiance. The restaurant felt dirty and unkempt. The seats were dirty, the utensils were just tossed into a random holder on the table, and even the water station was in bad shape. It really felt like cleanliness wasn't a priority, which is concerning :/ If they focus on cleaning up the place and work on making their dosas crispier, this spot could be much better!!

The food is so good, super large portions and you can tell it's made with care! Beautiful…read morerestaurant setup and kind staff. I found a new lunch spot and will be coming back.

I love Bawarchi Biryanis. They make the most incredible family size lamb Biryanis OuiOui…read more If you order the "Family pack" it comes with Raita & another sauce $54.99. We get one to go every time we visit. We LOVE our lamb Biryanis SPICY, Indian HOT, and Bawarchi Biryanis delivers just that. Nose running, mouth on fire, sweating forehead with no regrets. Hahaha :)... I have been visiting both locations & last time I was at the Brandon location & got the lamb Biryani family pack to go (SPICY) not only was it NOT spicy, there was hardly any lamb in it, it was mostly rice. My tribe was very upset about it. The tatunka white buffalo elders warned me next powwow if things didn't improve, I would be cast out of the circle of truth & be put on fish gut fertilizer duty. So, to keep from getting demoted from my high ranking position in my tribe, I decided to get the highly sought after Bawarchi Lamb Biryani family pack (INDIAN HOT) from the Wesley Chapel location. It not only did not disappoint, it was so amazeballs that I was promoted to "Lady Medicine Chief" harmonic Shamanic healer & "teacher of the sun dance" sister. While I was also at the Wesley Chapel location, I also had the Saag lamb & garlic naan. The Lamb Saag was so freakin perfectly balanced, lamb so tender, full of healing ginger & spices, so perfectly spicy, my forehead was sweating, my nose running, mouth on FIRE with no regrets. Both, the best I have ever had OuiOui. For moi, Bawarchi Biryanis, their Wesley Chapel tribe, has emerged as a holistic system of "food as medicine" emphasizing the balance of mind, body & spirit. From one Shamanic healer to another, it is my belief that Ancient healing practices have long been integral to human societies, playing a significant role in addressing health & wellness long before the advent of modern medicine. It is my belief that Bawarchi Biryanis understands these ancient healing practices, utilizing a combination of whole spice rituals, herbs & spiritual connection. It would be of my greatest & highest honor to give Bawarchi Biryanis Wesley Chapel tribe's most beautiful herbal healers & medicinal practitioners 5 stars. You are unmatched in, almost, every way.. However, both times I was there the bathroom door continues to be covered in dirty hand prints. I'm not sure why this is happening & it's not being cleaned properly. The place is so small it would only take 20 mins with a bucket of bleach water to wipe it all down back white again. Cleanliness is also a state of purity, freshness, of natural healing & enhances mental well-being. To the Chef/Owner: All the senses are here, what you have already achieved is beyond winning. However, do not surrender your own mind, body & spirit of Cleanliness to declare premature Victory. The greatest victory is that which requires no battle, in your case, it will only require 20 mins & a bucket of bleach. A clean & pure environment is necessary for survival. Please, teach your tribe to also practice the art of cleanliness. Let's Win it all together. Will return. Namaste.

The coconut soup with chicken was yummy. Steaming hot!! We shared the tandoori mixed grill. All the…read moremeats were tender and flavorful. The tandoori was mildly spicy. Not sure if it was because we asked for mild or if it came that way, so ask for mild if you fear the spice. I am a wimp so I had to ask for something creamy and cooling so I ordered a mango lassie. It was delicious! We also had a dosa- mild masala. It was huge and delicious. It was a nice place.

Went here after being recommended at least 20 times, but, never had the time. First and foremost,…read morethe staff was unpleasant when I called. Second, the place itself seemed clean enough, but, nothing positive or negative. Finally, the important topic the food and pricing. The chicken tikka masala/butter chicken was actually the worst I've ever had. The other items were easily forgettable. I also (for the first time) threw away our food after my wife and I tried everything. The pricing was pretty typical for desi food, but, with the quality, I say stay clear. I should have read the reviews more as this was not what people said it would be like.

Pros: The building…read moreitself was a former Wendy's and is now a clean and modern cafe. It toes the line between fast casual and sit down restaurant. It reminds me of Fortune Kitchen on Bearss. The biryani was flavorful and a good portion with enough to take home. There was enough chicken throughout the dish. 8/10 Service was prompt from the two female servers. Cons: Sodas are sold a la carte for $2. No free refills. No physical menu. There is a QR code that links to the restaurant menu. Overall: a Pretty good Indian restaurant in New Tampa. The food quality is similar to Kabob grill. I just hope they stay at the current level of quality and don't decline significantly like many Indian restaurants in New Tampa. We shall see.

We have been waiting for this restaurant to open and we are finally here…read more The whole restaurant is very very clean and very ethnically decorated. Beautiful lights and the seating is comfortable. Our server was with us right and was happy to help with the menu options. I had the Marsala with lamb. I did get the mild but it was still a bit spicy. It came with rice and we ordered the garlic naan. Everything had awesome flavors and you could tell that a lot of attention went into the food preparation. I will definitely be back to try something new! I would recommend checking this place out. Lots of options, good food and service. It's clean and a very nice calming ambiance.

The only thing that I didn't like were the prices compared to the quantity of what you get. The service here is great, a little pushy though. I felt like our waitress was almost a sales person. She was great at advising what to get but a little demanding and kept trying to push things on us to order. For apps we ordered the Samosa Chat & Palak Chat. They were good! For dinner we ordered the: Butter chicken (my fave) it had tender chicken which is a must. Chicken tiki masala, wasn't a huge fan of the chicken breast but it wasn't too dry. The Palak Paneer, another favorite. A goat dish with a coconut sauce which was alright but my mom loved it. The Raita was a bit too runny. The naan bread was delicious! Also the rice here was great! We were then convinced into ordering desert. We ordered this rose ice cream and then some pistachio dessert with the rose sauce. We were not fans. The rose sauce tasted artificial and like lip gloss in my opinion. I would for sure come back here just for the butter chicken, palak paneer and to try more.

Hidden Gem Near MOSI with Incredible Indian Food…read more We stumbled upon Jalsa after a morning at MOSI and were pleasantly surprised by this delightful new restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We ordered the Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken, Naan, Paratha, and Chicken Masala Dosa. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The Chicken Masala Dosa did take a bit longer to arrive, but considering how rare this dish is to find, it was completely worth the wait. Overall, the food was vibrant, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We would definitely return for dine-in or takeout. Even our whole family, including our 4- and 6-year-old, gave it their approval. I'm pretty well versed in Indian Food and this Very flavorful, fresh Indian dishes Great variety (including harder-to-find items like Dosa) Family-friendly and kid-approved Slight wait on the dosa, but understandable given the dish
