Jasa is an unassuming, hole-in-the-wall gem with great food and friendly people. The menu is simple, the food is solid, and the portions are extremely generous. Two of us shared chicken samosas (order of 2) and a platter of Achar Gosht (spicy lamb curry), which came with (an enormous) naan, rice, salad, green chutney and creamed spinach and potatoes. We even had leftovers! The chicken samosas are probably some of the best that I've had. The outside fried pastry was light, flaky, and not too oily, and the chicken curry filling was savory. The lamb was tender, creamy, spicy, and delicious. The remaining components of the platter were nothing out of the ordinary, but still paired well with our whole meal, which only cost us about $15! Jasa also has daily meat and veggie specials. We went on Saturday, and I'm looking forward to venturing to this spot to try out other daily specials! read more

Jasa Kabob - Achar Gosht (spicy lamb curry) with naan, rice, salad, green chutney and creamed spinach and potatoes Chicken samosas (on the left) - Mediterranean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Discovered this little fast food joint while walking. The service was good. The food came in less 10 minutes. The chicken was fresh and so was the naan. I found the samosas to also be fresh. This is a small little fast food place good for a quick meal, you can be in and out in less 30 minutes. It's in a convenient location. We went during dinner time and found it was not busy. I don't like spicy food and think the food was not that hot. read more

The salmon is amazing! Samosas are huge and delicious. Keema naan is flavorful. Everything here is so damn good. Highly recommend!

Ordered Jasa (pronounced "yasa") Kabob for pick up for lunch. I love that this place is locally owned because the owner was willing to let me pick up an order before the restaurant actually opened. Props for accommodating customers! Food items: -The chicken kabob wrap was tasty with juicy halal chicken accompanied by lettuce and onions wrapped in an amazing house made naan/pita. As everyone knows, a wrap in a pits is all about the pita...and this was perfection-thin crispy outside with a chewy pillowy center. Loved! -The hummus was creamy goodness and comes with a generous side of naan -Falafel wrap was not that great...pretty average for falafel. Would stick with the chicken wrap. -The babaganoush was really nothing special, but not bad. Probably would not order it again, but don't regret ordering it! Will definitely be returning for the naan and chicken kabob! read more

Jasa Kabob has changed my outlook on Indian food. I think many have had a bad experience with Indian food, and that had turned me off from trying it again.. until now. After scoping the raving reviews here, I had to give it another shot. Their chicken tikka masala is their best seller, so I decided to go with that. Not only was it a good deal (since it was the special of the day), the portion is huge! It comes with rice, a small salad, choice of vegetable (I got the yummy chickpeas), and a huge serving of naan with sauce. The chicken tikka masala was awesome- the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so good and creamy you could practically swim in it! The chickpeas were delicious in their own amazing sauce. The naan was really soft and addictive (and is perfect dipped in extra tikka masala sauce you might have leftover). Quick, inexpensive Indian food that's delicious? Yeah, I'll be back for sure! read more

Hands down the best Pakistani food in Baltimore. The food is flavourful and despite it's small sitting place, my freinds who accimpied once to Jasa end up making it their prime choice for southeastern food in Baltimore. When my colleague and friends from India, Pakistan or Bangladesh comments that they miss Jasab Kebab Biryani, that place truly has to do well to match that quality. Highly Recommended foods: -Bryani (chicken or Lamb) -Karahi with Garlic nan -Samosa Chaat read more

Was months ago since I ordered from here. The man instantly knew I was a pickup order before I even entered their store. Just straight said, "you're the pickup order right?" LMAO. Guess I look the type. Otherwise, great service, really nice guy. Walked in there and left within a minute. Food was smelling fresh as hell walking 6 blocks to my car. I ordered the lamb and rice, and it was really good. Finding parking took over 20 minutes, which was unbelievable. The roads were all blocked so people could dine in the middle of the streets (non Jasa Kabob customers). read more

2/22/14 Straightforward inexpensive, tasty Indian/pakistani food. Jasa Kabob is little more than a carry out spot submersed in one of the busiest areas of Canton Square. However, their food quality makes it clear you don't need linen table clothes and waiters to satisfy your craving for kabobs, chicken tikka masala or gulab jamun. I ventured in hungry and eager to be wowed. I'd heard a great deal about the awesomeness of the place but I was determined to be the judge of that. Initially, I was taken aback by the sparse carryout feel of the place. However, I quickly warmed up to the long tables which facilitated more of a communal style eating experience (a nice change from the typical "i'm eating here but I'm not going to communicate when anyone around me" atmosphere of most eating establishments. Then there's the food....I used chicken tikka masala as my touchstone for all similar restaurant and it just so happened to be the special of the day. Tasty, but different than what I typically expect from tikka masala. I'm accustomed to the rich heavy creaminess of Akbar's versopm (my first foray into Pakistani food). There's was a great deal less heavy and creamy (not in a bad way, but in a way that made me less regretful for eating it). It also was more orange in color and sweeter. It was tasty but not my fav. The chicken, perfectly tender, juicy in the way Tikka should always be. The sauce was just not my pref. It came with a plethora of other tasty things...Chickpeas and naan where my choice. My partner in crime for the day had the Kabob special which was an expansive endeavor. IT smelled wonderful and she devoured it. After wandering all over the Canton square for the rest of the evening, memories of Jasa called to me when hunger reemerged. So, believe it or not...I ate there 2x in one day. IT IS JUST TO DARN EASY AND TASTY! This time I ordered food for home. I got a falafel wrap (amazing), baba ghanouj (comes with naan, yum), gulab juman (this didn't make it home, i had to have right then), and lamb kabob (amazingly yum, my husband destroyed). I will def continue to enjoy Jasa Kabob for it's easy, quickness although being submersed in Canton square make it a bit of a bother trek across town for. But I know it's there now...and i'm a happy person for that knowledge. read more

I've been going to Jasa Kabob for years, and this review is long overdue! I absolutely love their food and their service. I usually get the daily meat special (my favorite is any day they serve lamb). The servings are large, so it lasts 2-3 meals for me. Their food is on the spicier side, so beware if you're not into spicy food. It'll definitely open up your nasal passages. The guys that work there are super sweet and always so attentive. read more

What a surprise on how good this place was! I got the falafel platter, asked them to make it vegan, so they only had to cut out one of the sauces... for 9.50, I was handed two plates of food (one was just a fresh naan) and I tore into it. I really tried to finish it all, but the falafel, baba ghannouj, hummus, tabouli, and whatever the cabbage thing is called... all so much - and I'm a big guy! I can't wait to come back, but I have no idea where it is in the city haha... my friend who drives like a maniac drove me here. read more

Years later...still 5 stars. Quality is very consistent. They always have my favorites on hand - spinach, daal, and at least one type of chicken. The naan is so fluffy and tastes great when dipped in the chutney, which isn't too spicy. That being said, the main dishes themselves are on the slightly spicy side. So, for those with weak tongues like myself, just keep a glass of ice cold water nearby as you eat. It's worth the pain. I recommend the chicken curry on Mondays, as well as the spinach on any day. The staff is extremely friendly as well. One of my favorite Indian restaurants in Baltimore, and definitely my favorite for a quick, take-out meal! read more

This was unfortunately a swing and a miss for me. Overall, the food was disappointingly bland and had some strange textures. I got the chicken kabob wrap, which comes with rice and chickpeas. I loved the idea of the dish, but the neither the chicken nor the chickpeas had any real flavor. The brown rice was chewy, like minute rice you buy at the store, and the cilantro chutney was clearly watered down. The naan was also very plain and didn't taste fresh. Interestingly, my partner got the chicken tikka masala and that had much more depth of flavor than anything else we ordered. However his side of daal was again strange in texture-- almost like hard bits of polenta in a sauce. Besides the chicken tikka masala, the veggie samosas were good and the delivery was lightning fast. Based on lack of flavor and undesirable textures, I won't be trying this place again but hope that perhaps it was just an off night based on the many good reviews. read more

Yum! I was watching the first episode of 'Flight of the Conchords' where Gemaine mentions buying a girl a "kebab" and a kabob craving was aroused in me. Not knowing the Baltimore area too well (since I'm here on business), I did a quick yelp search and this was the first listing. I called in an order for the lamb, beef, and chicken combo with the cauliflower and potatoes (instead of chickpeas) and was told my food would be ready in 20 minutes. I headed over and found street parking right in front of the restaurant. This place is located on the nice stretch of bars/restaurants on O'Donnell Street right across from the park. I asked for a container of hot sauce and they wrapped up my order for me and I brought it back to my hotel. The naan was wrapped in foil and I could feel that it was warm. The first few bites were soft and delicious but once it cooled down, it turned rubbery and chewy in some spots and crunchy and chip-like in others. The rice was seasoned well and I thought it was delicious. The chicken was seasoned tandoori style, full of flavor and tender. The beef and lamb were seasoned similarly but the lamb was so much more tender. The cut of beef that was used was a bit tough and chewy. I loved that you could see the holes in the meat where it had been skewered. The cauliflower and potatoes were really good, lots of flavor and spice, and I loved the mint chutney and the hot sauce gave my meal a nice kick. There was no white sauce on my food (as mentioned in the menu) which was disappointing, but overall, I enjoyed my meal. The portions were pretty generous for the price too - I ate about half for dinner and the rest for lunch the next day. read more

Went here with my cousin last week... Uh oh.. I better start doing my reviews sooner than later because I forgot the name of my dish... it was a lamb wrap, I know that much. The first thing I noticed is no a/c on a 90+ afternoon. -1 star The second thing I noticed is that I ordered a side of naan for my cousin & me, since we were told our wraps would take several minutes and we received one "round" of naan for 1.50... Hmm I've gotten at least twice that amount at more than one other place for the same price, so I felt a little gypped. -1 star Otherwise I liked it and would go back again. The wrap was tasty and filling. Lots of spices and full flavor. read more

I was honestly hoping my food would be as good as the reviews i glanced through prior to ordering. I ordered the beef seekh kabob with garlic naan and a mango lassi. I really enjoyed the naan, it's definitely one of the best i have had the pleasure of eating. The lassi and the kabob on the hand are a different story. The mango lassi was very watery compared to what i'm used to. It kind of tasted like a super watered down lassi. It wasn't horrible nor great and i wouldn't recommend it. The beef seekh kabob was seasoned very well but was completely dry which made it a little unpleasant to eat . The customer service was great and my food didn't take too long to be ready which is a plus. read more

Great chicken kabob platter. Flavorful and filling! Came with naan, salad, chickpeas, rice, and chicken. Small portion of chicken, would like to see another cube or two, however overall a great experience! read more

So, what do you want from a place that is located in Canton, one of the hotter spots for nightlife in Baltimore? Late Hours and Bar Afterhours? - Check Affordable and Well Priced Items? - Check Tasty edible food? - Check Fast and Friendly Service? - Check This one's a winner, people! Now ask me what I normally order when I go to Jasa? Sorry, can't remember since I'm usually very drunk when I get food here BUT I can tell you that is 2 for $10 and that it soaks up all the alcohol, deliciously. read more

I ordered the falafel wrap, ras masal, and lamb kabob (a la carte). The lamb kabob was delicious! I can't get over how tasty it was, but a little dry, but I think that's expected. The falafel wrap was very tightly wrapped and I felt it was very dry. I wish I had some tatziki sauce or something other than the green sauce with it. I'm curious to try their tikka masala or other more Indian dishes. read more

I don't know why this place gets raving reviews. It's fine- just not up to par. There are so many better options for Indian food. I can't comment on Pakistani dishes but would consider myself pretty well-versed in Indian food. You can skip this place if it's your first time. I've ordered from here a couple of times and just can't get on board. The Naan isn't real naan but more like thick pita that has a sort of naan feel. Samosas were good. But all the dishes, particularly the chicken tikka masala are meh. Not terrible but also eating the leftovers is more like a chore and not a treat. I don't plan on ordering from here again- just nothing great or special, usually disappointing. read more

Okay, I will be honest, I did not have high expectations of this place. I really thought it was going to be watered down, Americanized, Indian food, but it turned out to be soooo delicious. We actually got rave reviews about it from our Pakistani Uber driver who swore it was the best biryani he ever had. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the best biryani I've ever had, because I grew up in New Jersey, but it was pretty damn good, definitely the best in Maryland. The samosas were flavorful but not extraordinary. The mixed kabob was fabulous! We also got goat curry to go and I still crave it! Good thing it's only a 10 min walk away and open late! Seating is pretty limited but clean and the service is always with a smile! read more

One of the best Pakistani restaurants in terms of taste. They actually have the authentic flavor a of the food served on restaurants in Pakistan. It's a bit different from home cooked Pakistani food. The price is super affordable and the restaurant is a big hit. Located in a very happening bar, restaurant place, it's a must try. The owner is from Jhelum and is very friendly and helpful to visitors. We tried the achar gosht, chicken tikka masala aka butter chicken, bainghan ka bharta, daal, palak. Everything was awesome. Five star performance. read more

Jasa Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place is a hole in the wall type with tasty Halal food. Not many outside the canton area know about this pace, but it is certainly worth the visit. The prices are reasonable, the portion size is generous and the staff is friendly. Can't really go wrong with ANY of the chicken dishes, especially the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Tandoori Chicken. Many like the lamb, but my favorite is ANY of their chicken dishes. They are also a great Delivery and Carry out place. And this leads me to the only drawback, they are tiny as space is at a premium in Canton. So if you don't mind the 'COZY' atmosphere, it is a must eats. A solid A read more

Ordered takeout for our first time eating here and it's hard to have high expectations with takeout. However - This beyond exceeded expectations. We had salmon, lamb platters and they were amazing.

By Far, my FAVORITE restaurant that Ive ever been to. Owner and staff and super friendly and offer speedy service. Been here a number of times while travelling and its always amazing.

If you are use to authentic Indian dishes, you'll be very disappointed. Ordered the chicken masala, Byrani rice, and chicken kabob. These dishes were nothing to brag about it. The Indian dishes were not even close to delicious indian cuisine. The chicken kabob was dry and the not very seasoned...wasn't even served on a stick since it was in a delivery tray. If you're into plain Jane salty dishes...this may be for you. Nan bread was chewy...tasted store bought. read more

This hole in the wall place has the most prime location which is probably why it is all the rave. They definitely had plenty of meat options but not very many vegetarian ones. I am a vegetarian and tagged along with my boyfriend and his friend for dinner. I ordered the Veggie Samosa and Falafel Platter - the hummus and babaganoush were on point but the falafel was very dry. No amount of chutney was going to cut it. The Veggie Samosa was definitely not like most samosas I have had - the outer shell of the samosa tasted more like a wonton. Comments on the meat from my boyfriend and his friend - the meat was cooked up to par as it would be for most Pakistani dishes. I will say that they served large portions for a fair price. There are probably other places in Baltimore that serve something better. read more

Just got carryout from here for the first time. I ordered the chicken tikka masala that comes with rice, small salad, naan, and a choice of veggie which i got eggplant. For $14 you cannot get better. The food had some flavor and was above average compared to many other Indian places I've tried. Combine that with the price for how much you get, you cant beat it. Eggplant had a good spice and the tikka masala had good flavor. Would definitely come back again.

Their butter chicken is phenomenal, and there was more than enough chicken to satisfy a big eater. In addition, you MUST order the garlic naan. It is to die for!! read more

I live right down the block from this place and I love it. I have never been dissatisfied. I think it's better than Moby Dick's from the DC area. If you go, get the specials. They are fast and good dishes. If you want to get one of the kabobs, I would suggest calling ahead because they cook them fresh and it takes about 15 minutes. Also, make sure to grab a samosa and a Lassi. It's also BYOB for those looking to imbibe. Some of the best food in Canton...because its one of a few places that doesn't serve bar food. read more

First off the food is not very good. I was going there because I had a restaurant.com certificate from 8/11 for $25 off. The employee John M. said he could not accept it despite the fact that the restaurant signed up to participate in the program. Not one other customer was in the restaurant. Very bad business practice! read more

Ordered samosas they were ok, and I had their plater combo of chicken, beef, and lamb.. I think the beef was decent, chicken ok, and the lamb was a bit tough. It comes with rice, a green chutney or whatever and a vegetable (potatoes and spinach) -more like a slice of potato lol). I ate the potato, couldnt care for the spinach. Will go there again to try their kabob wrap or somin. read more

I keep coming back for the Lamb Biryani. It is by far, the best I've tasted in the States. The pakoras/samosas are also excellent. The owner's particularly friendly and affable. Worth a punt for sure. read more

Best Indian food in canton and it's not even close. All the Indian food on the menu is amazing.

Love Jasa Kabob! This is our go to place for delivery. The delivery here is super fast! You can also order online or using the Eat24 app, which is awesome because I don't like talking on the phone. Plus one for being super easy. The food here is delicious and the portions are enormous! My favorites are the falafel salad, chicken kabob platter, and the chana masala platter. The chickpeas here are so, so good! If you like spicy chana masala, you definitely don't want to skip out on the chickpeas here. The naan is also tasty. It's not quite like other naan I've tried, but it's fresh and chewy. We prefer to order delivery from here, since it's just so convenient! But I've had good experiences with the service and food when eating at the restaurant too. read more

This place is right on Canton Square and it's a great place to go for a fast, cheap and good eat. It's basically like a good kabob place. I came here recently again and I had to wait a full 20 minutes for my food. I would definitely call in for an order as everyone else seemed to do that and pick up the food. They give you A LOT of tikka masala although the chicken pieces in the tikka masala can be really dry. The regular chicken, beef, and lamb kabob was just OK. They made fresh naan so that's good. The sides are decent too- spinach and potatoes, chickpeas, lentil and some other stuff. read more

Another review for Jasa because they are just SO AMAZING. Disclaimer - I did order the same thing again, the Saturday special is spicy lamb... Heads up: If you're ordering in on the weekend, this place partners with Eat24 (which sends you out a discount code every weekend). Easy way to save. I also ordered the Baklava this time and it was delicious! read more

Tip Of The Day: If you have not eaten at JASA KABOB in Canton Square its a must, I have been in the restaurant business all my life, server, chef, manager, consultant and never in my 25 years seen any restaurant do what they pulled off yesterday. They had to have fed 300 to 400 hundred people for FREE as a Thank You to the community for supporting them for the last 5 years and they did it well, really well! The food portion was overly generous and really really good. I will be back for sure and tell as many people as I can. More restaurants should follow the lead of this man, Jay the owner stood outside thanking people coming in and said goodbye as they were going out, Class act. Thank you Jay for a fantastic meal and for a heartfelt thank you to your community it was well received and I bet you will be in business another 5 years easily. http://www.jasakabob.com/ read more

I was craving some Indian food late Sunday evening and after looking at so many reviews and places that have delivery, I went with Jasa Kabob. I was a bit nervous to order since I have never had their food before but I went with the positive Yelp reviews and took the risk. I ordered via Foodler and noticed that they do not have Paneer Tikka Masala. I called the restaurant and asked them about it, the gentleman I spoke to informed me that they don't have that food online as an option. I was saddened by it since I was really craving it but then he told me that they can accommodate my request by just putting in comment "Change to Paneer". That's customer service right there! My order automatically comes with rice, salad, vegetable, and Naan! You usually have to pay separate for all these if you order somewhere else but it comes standard with them! The naan was huge, I was only able to eat 1/4 of it. The food was delicious! It hit the spot! This is going to be my new go to place instead of the places in Mount Vernon! From the customer service, the amount of food, the price, everything's a winner! read more

Consistently good food. The customer service is also great. I get the chicken kabob platter always. I'm planning on trying other dishes. I'd recommended if you like spicy filling food. They give you nan with the platter which is nice. I usually substitute the salad for spinach and potato (best side imo). The green chutney they have is good I put it all on my rice. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed, if you get the kabob platter. read more
