Montclair is in New Jersey, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Montclair follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The standout dish for us was definitely the lasuni gobi — absolutely fantastic, flavorful, and easily one of the best appetizers we’ve had. The paneer dilruba was rich, creamy, and delicious, and the garlic naan paired perfectly with it. The aloo tikki chaat with pindi chole was decent. A special shoutout to Nayan, who served us. He was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive throughout the meal.

Found this spot in Montclair and it served one of the best Indian foods I’ve ever had, my favorites were samosa chat and the paneer saag. The nans were very soft and the ambiance was calm and clean. The owner and staff were very nice and service was fast.

I had the most amazing lunch at Jalwa: Modern Indian Dining. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like VIPs—the service was warm, attentive, and truly made the entire experience feel so special. A big thank you to our server, Nayen, who took such great care of us throughout the meal. We tried several appetizers and food, and every single dish was fantastic. For starters, we had naan, vegetable samosas, and aloo paratha—everything was delicious. My favorite was the spinach chaat—absolutely amazing and perfectly crispy! We also loved the chicken dumplings (momos), aloo tikki with pindl cholley, and the truffle mushrooms, which were all bursting with flavor. For our entrées, my husband had the palak paneer—an amazing, creamy spinach dish with cubes of homemade cottage cheese. I had my all-time favorite, chicken tikka masala, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had! For dessert, we ended on a high note with the kesar pistachio ice cream, which had pralines inside and was beautifully topped with flowers, and the paan masala ice cream topped with gulab jamun—such a unique and delicious experience. If you're looking for incredible food, outstanding service, and a trul
