Dining experiences with friends are
always the best! Its an added bonus when your friends take you to places you
have never been before.
With a number of calls exchanging our
whereabouts and the plans to meet, I and my friend finally decided to meet at
the Huda City Center and choose a place to eat something nice, gulp down a few
drinks and have a great time. Therefore when I told him I wanted to go to a
random drink place – It was the newly opened JALSA Indian & Ladakhi Kitchen
he introduced me too!
The concept of this place is simple!
It’s a B.Y.O.B place where the set-up is quite Tibetan with all the prayer
flags, interiors and the aura that makes one feel like they are in a small café
with a Tibetan theme. Open roof and a lot of wooden tables & chairs to
gather around with friends. The music is quite up to date with the latest UK,
US and Indian tracks!
B.Y.O.B ~ Bring Your Own Booze is a
concept that is fast catching in India with more and more of restaurants coming
up with their own style of celebrating the theme. The customers have to bring
their own drinks to sit and have in this space while the food is provided by
these restaurants from their menu. Therefore when you arrive with your own
bottle of beer or whiskey they let you order Soda, water, glasses etc and make
your own drink on your table. The snacks or dinner can be ordered from their
special menu.
Food ~ JALSA Indian & Ladakhi
Kitchen specializes in Indian cuisine both veg and non-veg plus a lot of
Tibetan food is available for the taste enthusiasts. Therefore you shall find
here a lot of optiosn from chilli paneer, Manchurian, pork chilli, Tibetan
platter, Thukpa, Thentuk, Sha-Phaley, Momos, Kothay, etc. They have special
Ladakhi dishes like Ladakhi Gyathuk, Yarkandi momos and more. With enormous
range of noodles (hakka, pan fried, choupsuey, schezwan etc) you shall also
have the option to order authentic soups.
Now the sole reason for me writing
about this place is to talk about their momos and the effervescent chutney that
was surprisingly so good – I cannot even! The fried momos here are a delight
with just the right crispiness and the delicious filling – I would label it a
MUST TRY! Also, the chutney is an amazing mix of Bhut Jholakia chilli chutney
with a hint of hummus to give it a creamy yet spicy finish. Spicy as it is I
could not stop but keep on munching for as long as the tongue burnt!
P.S. We actually started picking
chutney with fork and relishing the taste!
If you are on a lookout for a simple
place that lets you enjoy boozing at affordable rates and amazing food – this
is the place to be! What better than getting the drinks at their MRP and
drinking it without any fancy prices to be paid. Plus the aura is totally worth
it.

and serves at the right time. They also help you decide what to order citing
their best items on the menu. Our food arrived hot and delicious!

like this!

just to let you know that Jhalsa Ladakhi Kitchen is a fake copy of the renowned Wangchuk Ladakhi Kitchen which they have totally replicated from the yellow benches to the tibetan flags and the cuisine!! the only authentic tibetan and Ladakhi restaurants are the Ladakhi Kitchen at Supermart, Tibetan Kitchen at Rodeo Drive and Kai Chi cafe, Gwal Pahiri which is all by the same family which started Wangchuk's Ladakhi Kitchen..
