Reviews
The Chicken Tikka Masala has little to no flavor or sauce, with dry chicken portions no more than maybe 5 chunks of meat.
The Dal Curry was in a bowl (extremely mall portion for $10) and was bland — for such a normally cheap and flavorful dish, this was the worst.
The Mutton Biryani was redeemable; it was oily and tasted good, yet not in any way meaningful. There were boney and fatty pieces throughout the meat that cut the size of the perceived size considerably.
The Masala Dosa tasted frozen, noted by oily, yet dry, cold and a rough texture. The potatoes inside were fine, and the sambhar was okay. The coconut chutney was poor.
The naan and jasmine rice were cooked relatively well, and had no particular flavor or quality to them.
Servers were attentive and kind, as much as disconcerting; there were several servers that would be looking at our table through the service, but felt more pressuring and uncomfortable.
Prices were good when the portions were, which helped me feel much better about the quality that I didn’t have to pay a lot to dislike it. Total was ~$70-75 before tip.
There is a lovely dining area inside and some tables outside as well. The hand painted murals are unique and wonderful conversation pieces of art.
NJS has a great menu list and I can’t rave enough about the actual dishes. Presentation and taste.
The ladies are genuinely beautiful waitstaff with complete knowledge of everything on the menu and the shop as well.
NJS is now my favorite place for authentic
Amazing Indian place on Hope St that is 100% authentic. I’ll let you know a secret!?!? We were on our way to Rassoi, which we often frequent, but stopped here instead and wow were we impressed! They also have a spice place across the street, where they are actually able to deliver authentic spices across to Just Snacks to make authentic, tasty and clean Indian meals. My wife and I had stuffed Aloo Tikki, lentil soup, garlic Naan, Chicken Vindaloo and Tikki Masala. All very good and some outstanding and a few best I have ever had in life. The Naan was the best Naan I have ever had and their Stuffed Aloo Tikki was the best I had ever eaten. My wife said her Tikki Masala was outstanding. My Vindaloo had all the right spices and just the right amount of Vindaloo heat. Some places want to kill with you heat, but forget the flavor of the dish and others vice versa. Not Just Snacks hits the flavor profile and heat perfectly! If I had to give something back it is the Lentil soup. It is not that it wasn’t good. It was, but out of everything else it wasn’t the best as everything else was. Wonderful meal. We can’t wait to be back !! Thanks Not Just Snacks!
