This place has been around almost as long as I've lived on this side of town but only dined there…read moreon a whim for the first time today. I went super basic and ordered chicken tikka masala (medium spice), garlic naan and raita. Everything was delicious, although I didn't really get any spicy heat from the masala, so I'd probably go with a 4 or 5 (out of 6) next time. The garlic naan was amongst the best I've had, it was on the thinner side of naan and was buttery and garlicky as you'd expect. The raita was great. It was thick and filled with tasty veggies. The ladies working there couldn't have been kinder and even provided a big to-go cup of water to a gentleman was working on his car that had broken down in the parking lot on this super hot day. All in all, definitely stop by if you're in the neighborhood and have a hankering for some Indian food.

Service was friendly and accommodating. They even gave us a free dessert for having a large order (rice pudding). Chicken tikka was plenty of chicken breasts in a sauce comparable to buffalo. Pretty good. chicken biryani was flavorful and also had plenty of chicken chunks. Chicken shahi korma was delicious. I really enjoy the sauce (a bit sweet but also buttery curry). Chicken naan was great and you get so much with just one order. Definitely good value for the cost. Mulligatawny Soup was warm and delicious. I would definitely get it again. Neither of us like rice pudding but i did sample it and the flavor reminded me of chai.

This place is far from the "best" Indian restaurant. The first time I tried to eat here they were…read morerandomly closed on a Saturday in the middle of lunch service. The 2nd time I tried them, they refused to substitute some garlic naan for the rice. They drench their rice in soybean oil which isn't healthy, so I simply asked for the naan instead of the rice for an upcharge. The rice is priced at $3.99 and the naan was priced at $6.50. it could have been a simple substitution but after talking with a bunch of employees they refused to accommodate me. I left and will never return.

The chef here follows the instructions perfectly and special shoutout to the Vegan Saag which was out of the world. The spice levels are also very different from the other Indian Restaurants.

Momo, a steamed and filled dumpling popular in Tibetan, Nepalese, and North Indian cuisine, gets a fiery twist here. Ajeet is dishing out flavor-packed Momos (with halal chicken).

We have been going to this restaurant for more than 35 years. Ergo, we have seen many different…read moreservers and managers, even different owners, run the place. Our favorite foods are Chicken Saag, a spinach sauce with chicken in it, and Chicken Tika, a tandori chicken with peppers and onions. (Chicken tikka is dry, smoky, tandori grilled chicken pieces fried with peppers and onions in a red oil, while chicken tikka masala is grilled chicken simmered in a rich, creamy, spiced tomato sauce.) Both of our favorites are still good. Recently, however, we ordered a large carry out dinner and were unable to get the Chicken Tika. We wound up with Tandori Chicken, which my husband liked, but I felt was dry.) I suspect there is either a new manager or a new owner again. They have increased their wine and beer offerings. The menu is newly printed (but still huge.) They have added some fusion dishes. A few days ago, they played Indian music on what seemed to be a repeating loop. The music loop should be longer as the same singers popped up with the same songs several times while we were in the restaurant. Some other guest asked why the tissues on the tables? We order our food medium hot (3 on a 6 point scale) and often need to blow our noses as a result. Nice to have the tissues instead of using your napkin! We often order Naan with our meals. We favor garlic naan but all of their breads are very good. We're less enthusiastic about their appetizers, but there is also so much food served with their main menu items that if we order appetizers, we eat much less of the main. We seldom get dessert in any restaurant. We are less likely to order them in an Indian Restaurant as we find Indian desserts too sweet for our tastes.

We continue to love this place after many years. Service is usually provided by family members but…read morethey are always friendly and go out of their way to make sure that we are taking care of. Ambiance is comfortable and friendly. Food has always been amazing! We always sample different things and enjoy it every time. This is a super easy place to come to. Parking is plentiful out front and there is plenty of street parking in case if their private lot is full. There is plenty on the menu and we thoroughly enjoy everything! I typically get one of their sampler platters. It just has everything on it from naan to good pallet cleansers and then overall good proteins with curry. It has always been superb and well worth it! I think this place might be owned by The same family or they are related to the family that owns one of the other Indian restaurants that we enjoy going to. Everything is pretty on par with them so we know we are always getting good food every time we come. Nothing really much else to say except this place is definitely a winner and it has been around for quite a while. Definitely worth a visit for some good Indian food!

Ok the entire time I've lived here, I've witnessed people on the internet saying that Jot is the…read morebest Indian food around. It was far away from me in Fairfield, so it took me far too long to try it (Doordash or bust). Omg it is soooo gooooddd!!! Is it Americanized? Probably but I don't know? I always assumed that I like the most Americanized Indian food, because I like sweet flavors and can't eat spicy food. Whatever is going on here, the flavors are just spot on for me in ways that other places around here have not been. Tikka masala fries are a favorite food. Geez I hope I can find something like this back in Cali. If I was eating there I would ask for double grated paneer. Bhindi masala is some of the best I've ever had - it's light and not too tomatoey and lets the okra shine through. Okra is not overcooked. Sooo tasty. I tried cholay (aloo) for the first time here and I love it. The mango chutney has the right flavor for me, super sweet. Mango lassi is really thick and not too sweet. Kheer was really good and also not too sweet. I wish they would have had gajar ka halwa on the menu because I bet it would be amazing. I have pretty basic picks because I'm pretty basic about Indian food. But I think everything here on the menu must be amazing. Don't be afraid to try anything!! One of my few regrets leaving this area is not trying Jot sooner so I could get experimental with their menu. So if you're reading this, do it in my honor please!
