JLWA Review

JLWA was on our wish list for the longest time now and finally we managed to visit this place. It is known for the awesome ambiance and no doubt, we loved it a lot! If the place attracts a lot crowd on a Thursday night then definitely it is a good place to visit!

Our host, Mr. Hitesh was very warm and suggested us nice dishes. He also gave us a brief about each dish which was very helpful. He was very friendly and we felt happy to be served by him.

 Let’s see what JLWA had to offer us apart from the night life:

Mocktails:

1.       Mango Mule: With barely a hint of mango, this drink was okayish. It tasted more of orange than mango. The flavours of this drink were mainly tangy and sweet. It is a nice refresher that helps cleanse your palate.

2.       Guava Delight: We love guava based drinks as we said in our earlier posts. This was one the best out of the 4 that we tried. The chat masala rimmed glass adds a nice zingy taste to the mocktail.

3.       Orange Punch: This had pure orange juice taste to it and we really enjoyed the fresh taste of it.

4.       Spicy Watermelon Mint: The combination of cucumber and watermelon is really refreshing. But at the same time it lacked a punch that we expected. It isn’t spicy at all though!

Food:

1.       Cheeseling Batata Bravado: The presentation of this dish is very catchy and attractive! This dish consists of baby potatoes that are deep fried in crispy batter which are drizzled with peri peri cheese sauce. It also comes with veggies. The potatoes are very crispy and we loved this dish a lot. Cheese and potatoes is a winning combination and they nailed this one! Do try this one out!

2.       Afghani Chicken Shwarma: This was an authentic shwarma which comes with hummus. We liked this one but it was very bland, just like the shwarma you get abroad. It doesn’t have the Indian chatakedaar taste to it.

3.       Cheesy Cheese MMT:  The star dish of the night, this is a dish that you must not skip at any cost! This is murg malai tikka (MMT) loaded with cheese sauce. We loved this one! The little pomegranate pearls added a lovely fresh burst of taste to this dish. The tikkas were super juicy and gooey. We are definitely coming back for more of these!

4.       Basil Crusted Prawn Thin Pizza: We wanted to try a prawn pizza since that was something new in the menu that we haven’t tried before. We loved the generous amount of prawns on the pizza. The pizza has a pesto base along with flavourful toppings. The pizza has a primary taste of prawns as it should be, we liked this dish!

5.       Bechamel Pasta:  A warning that should come with this pasta is that you should consume it while it is hot otherwise the sauce becomes hard and it doesn’t taste as good. Bechamel was super creamy and rich and the pasta was coated with lot of béchamel. We enjoyed the pasta which also comes with a super crispy garlic bread. White pasta lovers, this is your dish to go for!

Dessert:

1.       Classic Brownie: This dish looked just as beautiful as it tasted. The dessert has a huge slab of brownie with whipped cream, hazelnut mousse, marshmallows and biscuit crumbles. The brownie is drizzled with chocolate sauce which makes it really chocolatey. The hazelnut mousse also has a nutty flavour mixed in with bitter chocolate. The whipped cream is thick, luscious and not too sweet. Each element adds a new texture to this dish and we loved every bit of it!

2.       Crème Brulee: We’ve seen a dozen videos about how to make the perfect crème brulee but this is the first time that we’ve actually ate the perfect one. This dish was so creamy and smooth, it was better than the best ice cream that we’ve ever tried! The crust was crispy and sweet; it also came with guava compote and diced apples. The citrusy flavour of the apples and compote cut the sweetness of the brulee in a beautiful way! This dish is again a must try for the cream lovers!
