To Sip
The craft cocktails are a masterclass in balance. I ordered the Mulethi, a gin sour riff with passion fruit and a sweet honeycomb tuile that highlighted the beautiful, earthy aroma of licorice root. My partner chose the Jamun, a vibrant mix of gin, Ume plum, and jamun-berry puree that was incredibly refreshing.
To Eat
The food is a love letter to Lucknow, featuring flavors that are hard to find elsewhere in NYC:
– Basket Chaat: A stunning potato basket filled with sweet potato, papdi, and chickpeas. It’s a crunchy, tangy explosion of flavor.
– Aminabad Ki Galouti Kebab: Inspired by the famous Tunday kebabs, these minced mutton kebabs were incredibly buttery and melted instantly. The accompanying warqi paratha was the perfect flaky pairing.
The menu also boasts impressive vegetarian options. The Atari Paneer featured tender house-made cheese in a rich tomato masala, while the Kashmiri Nadru Kofta, spiced lotus root dumplings in a velvety cashew sauce, was easily the highlight of our main course.
Jazba is a gem that manages to be both upscale and deeply soulful. Whether you’re there for the innovative drinks or the regional specialties, it’s a journey worth taking.
That said, Jazba turned out to be a very pleasant experience. The staff were kind, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, which immediately put us at ease. The food was excellent, well-prepared, and full of flavour.
Overall, Jazba more than made up for the initial disappointment and saved the day. A warm atmosphere and great food made it an enjoyable dining experience.
Stopped by on a quiet Thursday evening and sat at the bar. First order was the delicious Juman cocktail, a gin-based drink with plum and jamun-berry puree. It was so good, that I ordered a second one when the entree arrived.
For the food, I first tried the Aslam butter chicken from the small plate section. The sauce was fantastic; I could have bathed in it.
For my entree, I had the railway mutton curry with tender lamb chunks in a tangy, rich tomato sauce. Also, excellent.
The service was very good and I lucked out by coming on a not busy night so the volume was to my liking.
A very enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely visit again.
Pro tip- their playlist is awesome!!
