Sunday evening & needed a place to eat. Jolly’s was recommended by a friend around a year ago but hadn’t been in this hood for a while.
There was a table free so I was seated right away. I was charmed by the decor, rich colours on the walls and the ambience. Made me feel I was on a getaway far from home. Staff were very attentive.
I ordered a stuffed naan filled with cauliflower as an appetizer. It came quickly and OMG it came with the Delhi 6 Daal-seriously the BEST Daal I’ve ever had in my life.
Then butter chicken with salad, rice and naan. All wonderful. Two pots of a ginger spiced chai tea and I was stuffed. And my bill came to only $23.09! 😍
I cannot wait to come back and bring my friends. Next time I will have the Delhi 6 Daal Entree and I want to try the Rosewater Vanilla Milkshake. There are at least 7 things on the menu I’m looking forward to trying!
SOOOooo Good! So much flavour. And unique servings. Very fresh! Can't wait to go back! lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
This place is great. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, and while the servers can sometimes seem overwhelmed, the service is generally good.
We usually order a meat thali (a meal combo), which has fantastic value. It's about 20$ for 3 dishes of curry, a naan, a samosa, a drink, and a dessert. We usually split it between the two of us and still have some leftovers.
It starts out with a big samosa covered in chickpea curry and mango chutney. The samosa is hot, crispy, and flavourful, and the chickpea curry is also very tasty. All the dishes are also very good; the thali comes with lamb curry, chicken curry, and butter chicken. All are delicious, but the lamb curry is my favourite (I even like the butter chicken, even though I'm usually not a fan). You get a fair portion of each dish, and all of them are flavourful, with high-quality meat and an appropriate level of spice (we usually get a level 2 or 3). The naans are soft and fresh, and the rice pudding you get for dessert is very nice too! You even get a beer included with the meal (which I sub out for an awesome mango lassi since I don't like beer).
Whenever we go there we get a great meal at a very nice price, in a lovely little restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. I basically have only good things to say about Jolly's, and if it were closer to my place I would go there all the time! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice Indian restaurant.
The 1st time we tried this place with Groupon deal. Surprisingly, unlike many other groupon featured restaurant, Jolly's is serving good food. I guess it is the location that made them need to go through the discount service to find more customer.
The samosa dish is great as it comes with hot/ mango sauce plus chickpea. Ginger lemonade is not on the dinner menu but you can still order it . They used fresh ginger in it which I loved! If you dunno what to order, try the thali ; it gives you serval dishes on one plate.
Jolly's is one of my favourite Indian restaurants in town. It has a nice atmosphere, and the food is excellent. I recommend their thali plates - great value!
We went there before going to boat show. It took couple of minutes to get to a nice seat close to the window. Very friendly and nice staff. They were fully packed. We ordered one appetizer, butter chicken, beef roghangoosh the food was amazing but it came after 46'!!!! Damn too late. We could not enjoy the food at all cuz it was too late that we had to leave as fast as possible. If they could separate the service for take out, it could probably help a lot to improve their service. The food is highly recommended but the service needs to improve. By the way it's too hot there, wear something light:)
This place can be hit and miss sometimes but tonight's dishes were amazing. We started with pakoras, then Lamb saag and Ali gobi. Good flavor, great service and just a chill vibe all around.
I'd go back!
Really nice room with cushions and candles. Lovely service and some interesting touches like, spinach salad with the mains. The starter pakora was very different than any pakora I have had and it was delicious. Big chunky thing with loads of fresh spinach surrounded by a pool of chick peas in a sauce which seemed to have mango puree in it. Really good.
Mains were very fresh and flavourful, but (and this is the big but!) really over salted. The lamb rogan josh, in particular, was so salty it was, on reflection, almost inedible. I say almost, because I did eat it because I was hungry and it was good, but kept feeling that it was amazing how much salt it had. I'm no salt nazi. I like salt, so this was pretty extreme and it was the only reason I would hesitate to go back, which is a shame.
To end on a positive, naan breads were excellent. Fluffy, fresh and crunchy.
Wow the Samosa was amazing. We didn't expect for it to come with mango chutney. Presentation is great and food is delicious. Atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and festive. They have comfy cushions and great customer service. It's $20 for a sampler, and you literally can try their most delicious foods.
I would come back again.
I saw a Groupon for nearly 50% off at this restaurant, and with the good reviews, I thought I’d try it out. It’s a medium sized restaurant which is decorated very nicely with lanterns, lit candles and drapery to cover those ugly ceilings that we see in a lot of the places here with pipes and unfinished look. The colours matched, and it was a warm soothing atmosphere.
I love Indian food. I've eaten at numerous Indian restaurants in the city, and Jolly's is by far my favourite. I eat here/get food from here at least once a month. Everything is astoundingly delectable (seriously, just thinking about it makes my mouth water). His naan is particularly great.
The food is astounding. The chef here loves his job, you can actually tell in the dedication he puts in each dish. And he prepares everything by himself! I cannot recommend this place enough. Your taste buds will thank you for such a treat. Seriously, go there, try any dish, and you'll fall in love with the place. The ambiance is very nice as well, and it's not expensive.
Used Groupon. Awesome deal. My son loves the food. Was here back in 2016. Wow. Good good food and service
The restaurant was busy when we got there. There was only one waitress and she was overwhelmed with take out orders and dine in customers. It took a while for us to get served but we understood the circumstances. The owner came out to the kitchen and helped. But the food was excellent and we got a few extra items of food for our wait. Once the rush was over everything calmed down. By that time we finished our meal, were the last people at the restaurant. The rush was over. It was only a two hour window. Overall the food was excellent and we had a great meal. I gave it 4 stars because of the wait.
The Rogan Josh had plenty of spices to start a Bollywood party in my mouth. Wife thought it's a bit salty, but my less discerning pallet thinks it's just right when complemented with naan or rice. Lamb was really tender, no chewy bits. I do prefer cuts with a little bit of fat. Our order was more on the lean side. It came with two small containers of basmati rice, lightly dressed salad and chick peas which was really good.
We ordered the amritsari fish and coconut shrimp. But since our order was for to go, the food lost some their crunchiness due to the air tight containers and steam. Fish was flaky and well seasoned, same goes with the shrimp which was not overcooked. Both came with potato patties and a slice of lime. They cook their naan last after all orders are ready, so it stays fresh and hot. Naan was soft, chewy and very warm. It was coated with garlic butter on side. We enjoyed our meal and had plenty of left overs for later.
Serving size was just right, price was average. Appetizers are less $10.
Very cozy and nice Indian restaurant. The service was quick and the staff very nice, not overwhelming like in some places where they come around every 5 min. The butter chicken is not much in quantity indeed BUT it is really really good!! The naan are so good too! We went on a Saturday night around 8pm and did not have to wait for a table. I recommande that place 100%. Prices are fair too.
