Jamavar Reviews Summary

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "Enjoyed the best Chicken Morsels starter and certainly the most delicious Butter Chicken in a long time."
• "Every single dish we ordered was full of proper Indian flavour, like never tasted before."
• "The food here was lovely and great service too."
• "Fantastic restaurant. Flavours of the food are so delicious."
• "The lamb chops were juicy and perfectly cooked."
• "The chicken tikka for example melted in the mouth."
• "Absolutely loved it. The food was delicious."
• "The food at Jamavar was excellent."

Cons:

• "The food is quite good, it's just not up to the level of other restaurants at similar price points."
• "For starters we had the octopus, soft shell crab and goat. I can say the octopus is cooked well where it does not taste rubbery but flavors overall was lacking."
• "The main courses included the Stone Bass, butter chicken which was supposed to be the most popular dish and the lamb biryani. Again flavor was extremely lacking."
• "One star being docked mainly because the mains (butter chicken and kid goat) were nothing to wow about."
• "The food was very underwhelming and the quality on par with £12 takeout."
• "The mains were quite poor though, and for the price it's unacceptable to have dry chicken in the curry."
• "Food looks very pretty but aside from the lamb chops starter which were excellent (albeit £56 for 4), food was underwhelming."
• "Was once one of my favorite Indian restaurants. Yesterdays meal was the same as the last 3 I’ve had there. Cold food, waiters rushing to clear your table whilst you’re still eating (literally whilst chewing). Almost flavorless dishes."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "The service we received was so attentive, polite & amazing."
• "Cannot wait to go back! The hostess (Jumana) was a delight to speak to :) absolutely fabulous"
• "Matched by excellent service from one of the friendliest teams I’ve ever met."
• "Had a fantastic experience for my birthday the staff and manager where extremely attentive."
• "Had fantastic dinner experience, came here with colleagues. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and our waitress Smriti helped us guide through the menu and her recommendations were spot on!"
• "My wife took me out to Jamavar for my birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed it."
• "The service was excellent, the ambience is fantastic, and the food is perfectly plated at all times."
• "Excellent food. We tried the weekend lunch set menu."

Cons:

• "The service was far away from fine dining. The whole 6-course menu was powered through in well under 1,5 hours."
• "Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to recommend this establishment to my friends."
• "The service for this calibre of restaurant felt pretty slow and lethargic."
• "They explained that they would not even reschedule the booking and were charging my card £100 for not showing."
• "The staff serving us did offer to take photos but we lost our opportunity to celebrate our special moment by then."
• "The food was okay like any nice Indian restaurant. Nothing that I would come specially for. What I really didn’t like is that they add the service charge to the bill without asking me prior."
• "Unfortunately it wasn’t the Michelin experience. It’s a real shame as the food was truly exceptional and something I really enjoyed."
• "Jamavar was a tremendous and glittering disappointment."
