    We initially booked a table for two, but two of our colleagues joined us later, making it a party of four. I must say, this place is phenomenal! We got there by 4:30, and the place was already quite crowded. This was my first time visiting, and I actually found out about Jaks through Forbes magazine. The ambiance was fantastic—not like your typical Indian restaurant. It was clean, simple, and very well done. Honestly, you wouldn’t even guess it was an Indian restaurant at first glance because the decor was so modern and upscale. They have a full bar, and we enjoyed a couple of cocktails, which were amazing! We also tried four sharable plates, and every single one was interesting and unique. The chef’s signature dishes, especially the sea bass, lamb shank, and lamb chops, were absolutely stunning. The flavors were so authentic, and everything was cooked to perfection. The staff was very attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I heard from one of my colleagues that the menu changes every six months, which is pretty exciting. I’m already looking forward to trying their lunch menu next time. Overall, it’s a great place for dining—whether for a casual meal or something special. This was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be back soon!

    This was our first time here and we were impressed - the food and service were both excellent as we had heard. We ordered a variety of starters and menu items and everything was delicious. The only issue was the roti - we had a few orders and all were burned on both sides but everything else was so tasty we didn't say anything until the end when we told the waiter. He was totally nice about it and even brought us an extra order free of charge which was not burned and we definitely enjoyed that a lot! We will definitely be back to try more dishes.

    Rather unique Indian fusion .interesting food combinations lots of choices. Great Nan. They need some more work as dishes didn't have all the ingredients listed. Generous wine pours. Good prices. Helpful and kind staff. . Outside dining is on the street side . Not very inviting. Inside is very clean and spacious with a bar. I say it's worth a try for something different
