    1000/10! We came for a birthday dinner and the service was EXCEPTIONAL. Nick, the owner was so attentive that it made our visit an amazing time. He provided suggestions and interacted with our party throughout our visit. We had several lamb dishes and the butter chicken which was as all amazing. The fried fish starter was perfectly crunchy and the garlic naan was delicious. This was our first time but will definitely not be the last.

    This was my first time coming to Jala so of course I had to do magical dining! This is located off of Morse which is nice because there's plenty of parking nearby and it's not as busy a street as park Ave or Fairbanks. The interior really appeals to that sexy but sophisticated dinner vibe which makes this a great spot for date night or a dinner out before your night out! The food here was really delicious! I went with the Gobi Manchurian (crunch cauliflower tossed in an Asian sauce), Butter Chicken (classic!), and the Gulab Jamun for my dessert! The dessert involved had about 3 servings of that before I got sick of it. I love a breaded item soaked in sweet milk like goodness! The butter chicken was the classic flavor so very tasty and came with your choice of plain, butter, or garlic naan! I'd say the only downside to my time here was the service was lacking. Our server seemed a bit unsure about the menu items and took a longer time than necessary to take our press's and bring the check over. Probably an off night, but I would still try this place again!

    Perfect for a date night. Music isn't too loud so conversation is easy. The staff is amazing always waiting just out of the way to anticipate your needs. Food is very good - cauliflower app is the best. We ordered the butter chicken and the chicken tikka Marsala and we both couldn't really tell the difference between the two. Will definitely be back to try other dishes!

    We came tonight for Magical Dining and although there was only one other table when we arrived, it started to fill up by the time we left. The restaurant was very well decorated and had amazing food aromas. The staff was friendly and did not complain about splitting up our checks, continuously providing us with more water. The food all arrived promptly, was well portioned, and looked aesthetically pleasing. We especially liked the cauliflower and chicken appetizers, butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, and the galab jamun. The only note was that we had to ask several times for my husband's drink (which did taste good when it did finally arrive) and some confusion on delivering the dishes to the correct people. But would recommend and would return!

    I am a little nervous about this review, my friend and I tried this Indian restaurant out during magical dining. The food was good, the ambiance was beautiful , the staff was very nice. The issue was, the tables are very close to each other and the table next to us one of the patrons fell ill during their meal, like badly. Like they couldn't walk, threw up at the table on a plate, and we felt the staff wasn't on top of the health of this patron. We told someone they needed physical help and they said "we let them know we could help and they said no" but to be honest, the other person at the party ended up calling the Ambulance. We couldn't really enjoy this meal, it was hard to finish dessert with a plate of vomit at the table next to me. The staff didn't remove this plate! They even asked if I didn't like the dessert bc I didn't finish it. It was awkward, I didn't want to say, well I lost my appetite bc of the vomit plate super close to me. So I didn't really know how to rate this place. You'll see the photos are beautiful. But unfortunately we had a weird experience. We hope that patron is ok.

    Definitely glad I got to visit this new franchise ! Winter park restaurants in the surrounding area seem to be really good and well maintained. Food quality is great, the crowd is always around so that's also another great sign. Service was amazing for Jala and they made sure to give great suggestions and be attentive to their customers . Favorite dish had to be the Naan. Delicious and great pairing with the lamb Biryani masala and the Rose Mary drink ! Delicious spot to stop into and enjoy their amazing dishes and specials !

    Lamb Vindaloo

    We came in to try Jala for the first time and had a good experience, but with one area of concern. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the service was very attentive. The food was good. We got the garlic naan and it was warm and flavorful. I got the lamb vindaloo which was served with rice. The lamb was tender and the sauce was rich. My boyfriend got the chicken tikka and it was served on the grill. It was delicious. I do have to say, the cocktails we ordered were absolutely terrible. We ordered the Paloma and dirty martini and they were the worst cocktails I've ever ordered. The Paloma just tasted like juice with flat club soda and hardly any tequila. The olives on the martini looked off and the martini itself did not have the proper proportion of ingredients. It was gross. I hate sending things back, so we didn't say anything because the food was good and we were fine with water. I cannot recommend anything from their bar. I would come back again for more of their food.

    This place was fantastic! The service the food was very tasty! The presentation was top tier as well! The samosas were a great start and the GULAR JANUN VANILLA Ice cream was the highlight of everything! I def recommend this spot it was decorated beautifully.

    Cauliflower appetizer, incredible!

    As there are a number of highly rated Indian restaurants in town, we had to get some opinions from locals. Two people raved about this place and it was also very close to where we were downtown. The Manager, Nick was extremely welcoming and very kind. He promised that if we didn't like the food, it would be on him. We totally LOVED the food. We order a pakora and it was incredibly tender and melted in our mouths. The green chutney was superb. We also ordered the butter paneer, which had a rich delicious sauce. Then lastly, we had the vegetable Biryani. This was wonderful as well. The restaurant was first class, with natural light from windows and nice music. We were given extra Raita to go with the Biryani and it was a memorable experience

    A freshly new spot open in Winter Park serving one of my favorite cusines, Indian. We started off with drinks from Alex, the bartender, who was very nice and made us some awesome drinks. We got the paloma and a martini. For entrees we ordered an octopus butter masala and chicken tikka masala. Both entrees come with a side of rice and we also ordered 2 orders of garlic naan. Food was amazing! Prices were just right and not expensive. Will deff come back to try this spot again. Beautiful decor and vibes. Make sure to make a reservation as it books fast!

    I gave Mynt a 5-star review a few years back, but I am struggling to even give 3-stars today…read more Service was good and the restaurant is better than most Indian places. But the food lacked in flavor and spice. We stopped in a little after 1:00, ordered 3 of the lunch meal sets, which include your choice of lunch size curry, naan, small portion on yellow lentils, naan and two dips (one cilantro/mint & the other a sweet tamarin mix) and tiny cup of creamy mango desert. Naan was good and a lot. We choose the paneer saag, lamb vindaloo, and lamb coconut - all medium spiced. Nothing was cooked to order, asked for medium spiced, all were barely even mild. The paneer saag was a puree, not to my liking - like mine to still look like spinach (leafy?), the lamb in both dishes was over cooked, rubbery. The vindaloo had no flavor. It was kind of like the Bland Indian food you would expect at a buffet. Sorry to say this may be our last visit.

We went around 2 so we were rushing a bit near the end. The serving area did seem a little small at first glance, but they actually have a pretty good selection of a lot of things to try. And everything was really delicious! I think quality wise it was pretty good, but not necessarily more delicious than other Indian food I've had. I think their specialty does lie in serving things other buffets might not necessarily have. Like panipuri, samosa chaat, fish 65. But then still having your staples like butter chicken etc. I also really love that the naan isn't self serve, and that they bring it to your table when you're out, so that it's nice and hot and fresh. Their dessert is also really good!

Ambiance is nice. Good lighting, classy looking tables, some nice, chill Indian music playing softly in the background. Good stuff. Service was good. Our server was very friendly and did his best to answer our questions. We needed some allergy friendly food, and there were a few questions where he just didn't know and made a best guest. That's fair, I guess, but that just needs to be better. Food came out timely and nice and hot, the tandoori chicken sizzling up a storm. Now for the food. I started off by getting a Vegetarian Special Appetizer (A combination platter with samosa, aloo tikki, onion bhajiya, mixed pakoras and chili pakoras) for the table. These are always fun, because you don't always know what you're eating. Samosas are always wonderful, and the onion bhajiya is like a better latke. Get this if you like to sample things. Then I had a Lamb Biryani (Lamb and basmati rice cooked with saffron and spices, garnished with cilantro, nuts and raisins). If you're a biryani fan, I'd probably pass on this one. Not a great example of biryani. Very little saffron and other garnishes. There are other great things on this menu. Of course, I had to get some Garlic Naan (Light bread made with fresh garlic, herbs and cilantro). A+ delicious. Light, rippable, soft, garlicky, good for grabbing food like you don't have silverware and adding flavor and texture to every bite. The Chicken Tandoori (Chicken marinated overnight in yogurt with fresh Indian spices and grilled in a clay oven) came out last and on its own, sizzling like the center of attention like a steak fajita. Chicken was well-cooked and very tender. Lots of good flavor, but maybe a little too salty. Overall, this was a very good introduction to Indian food for a few of my co-workers. I'm glad we came. It was a nice visit.

They mentioned they could be busy and asked me to call ahead with our appetizer order. I called as we were leaving the hotel and on our way. The woman who answered was rude and said a party of 12 had walked in before our reservation, so the wait could be a while. Since we had planned our day around this dinner, we came anyway. Before we were seated, I placed the order for the table, which definitely helped. The papadam was freshly fried and tasted good, but it was a little oily. The gobi Manchurian lacked crispness and could have used more sauce. The paneer makhani had a strong elaichi flavor, but they were generous with both the paneer and the sauce. Also, we requested medium spicy and it wasn't different than the kids mild. The naan was fine, though a little on the crispy side. The Schezwan noodles were good but were the last dish to come out.
