    Jamawar is a great option for tasty Indian dishes. The restaurant is currently merged with the Tang Chao (Chinese) restaurant inside Holiday Inn, Salmiya. We tried their set menu for 2 persons. It comprised of lentil soup, salad, a starter dish of chicken tikka, samosa and onion bajja, followed by main dish of butter chicken, chicken biryani and dal makhani (popular North Indian lentil dish) and gulab Jamun (a sugary treat) Everything tasted great but it was too much for us, but they were kind enough to pack it for us for takeaway. Prices are on the higher side but they normally have coupons for kd 6.950 on sheeel.com. For that price, it is well worth it.

    The food was very average and the menu is super limited. The ambience is good. One of the most annoying things was that they do not the most basic requirement of a wash basin. You are required to exit the restaurant and cross the lobby at the entrance in order to use the washroom or wash basin. Service is also very off. I had the prawns bamboo biryani which was loaded with spice. The chicken pakoras were not cooked well, had a lot of ginger garlic taste in it. The only thing that was ok were the chutneys.

    We visited this place for a family dinner party, the entire group was vegetarian. let's focus on good things - Ambience : very nice, as soon as you come inside, you feel you are in authentic Indian restaurant. Artifacts collected from various parts of India, delightful paintings and soothing lighting arrangement. - Staff : staff is courteous and attentive. - Music : choice of songs Now let's shift to things can be improved - Service: a slow start after placing the order. Need to be faster at least for starters. - special menus - Things need to be better - taste: I can say, at least for vegetarian food, there is a lot of scope to improve.

    A very good Indian restaurant inside the Holiday Inn Hotel in Salmiya, Kuwait. Cosy ambience with Indian decorations, delicious food, courteous staff. A good variety of food items to choose from- grilled (tantoor), Biriyani and rice, Indian bread, starters and sweets. Generous portions at affordable prices.

    Great food and authentic Indian flavors in all the dishes that we tried..Their zafrani tikkas are surely recommended..the only part that turned me off was the food coloring which I felt could be substituted by some other spices... We ordered chicken biryani. It was spicy and exactly cooked the way Indians prefer. Butter chicken and butter paneer was fair enough.. although paneer was less and more was gravy. Overall great ambience and good food..👍

    Not worth the full price. Only if you have any coupons, worth a try. The service is low. Food was good. the tandoors are very small portions.

    The food was nice but it was served in small quantities with no sides at all not even bread. We ordered a butter chicken which was served alone like a soup for 5kwd. It was an unpleasant experience and for sure last time.

  • 5/5 Jayagandan J. 2 years ago on Google
    Jamawar serves a decent spread of Indian menu with authentic taste and flavours. The staff are highly professional and hospitable. Special thanks to Ms.Rupa for making our dining experience pleasant and memorable. If you're looking for a authentic Indian food in Kuwait you can choose Jamawar as your first choice.

  • 1/5 Mayoora J. 2 years ago on Google
    Bad food, and unhygienic service container. This is not a place for vegetarians. Very limited choices. Their bamboo biryani is big NO. The bamboo container is unhygienic and offers no finesse when serving it. The inner part of the bamboo container felt not clean. When asked to replace the stale, gone off chutney, the response was this what we have. The ambience is lousy. We were seated next to kitchen door with blaring mixture noises. And on beautiful sunny afternoon we sat under sharp incandescent bulb. Never to visit again. And strongly recommend others who are seeking Indian vegetarian food - this is NOT the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Anup S. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a not so pleasant experience with my order placed thru Talabat & had posted regarding the same. It was however a pleasent surprise that I was contacted by Jamawar immediately. They even insisted that they be given a chance to change my opinion of both their food & service by delivering my complete order again free of charge. The food which we received 2nd time around was delicious however what impressed my the most was their commitment to do whatever it takes to keep the customer happy.

  • 5/5 Dr.Prathap U. 2 years ago on Google
    When thinking of taking out a new found family friend , my brain obviously picked Jamavar at Holiday Inn Salmiya as it’s the place where my heart had previously relished amazing & authentic Indian food and had delightful moments with my loved ones … Classic hospitality under the watchful eyes of restaurant manager Mr Faisal and truly pleasant & promising trainee staffs like Miss. Satrupa makes the dining experience worth coming back to … A Big Thank You for once again way exceeding my expectations … Love & Gratitude … Cheers !!!

    We visited Jamawar Restaurant for the very first time last week with a friend - and indeed our experience was a very pleasant one! The beautiful carved Indian Darwaaza at the entrance brought us into a world of true Indian Hospitality! Enjoying the Authentic Indian Flavors in a Traditional Indian ambience was something we never expected! Ms. Rupa our Host for that day, was very professional, kind and cheerful, and she guided us to choose the very best from the menu. Being a Proud Indian myself, and a Promoter of Indian Art & Furniture in Kuwait, I was pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful collection of Indian Decor very tastefully displayed all over the Restaurant. I will definitely visit again, with more friends and collegues of other Nationalities - to Jamawar, where I can give them an opportunity to experience our Indian hospitality - with pride!

  • 1/5 Rahul R. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly such a poor experience. I have a nut allergy and literally one thing on their menu didn't have nuts. Customer service was also poor with confused staff unsure of allergen information and who simply weren't willing to get naans for our table after 4 polite requests. Stunned that this and mais Al ghanim both have 4.4 stars on Google when one is so clear.

    One of the worst if not the worst Indian restaurants in kuwait, don't let the decor fool you.. -extremely expensive (ordered 6.750 kd shrimp, and got 4 pieces with sad lettuce) -I'd accept the cost if it tasted good, but it doesn't.. Indian food is supposed to taste wonderful, filled with culture and spices..it was bland and lacks any kind of flavor. -the presentation is sad too, all that's used is lecture as a garnish.. The plates aren't interesting An overall sad and disappointing experience, won't repeat.

  • 2/5 Clarke S. 4 years ago on Google
    I have stayed at the Holiday Inn many times in Salmiya but never eaten at this Restaurant. From the outset it looks quite authentic in terms of decor but I guess that’s where it ended for me. The service was poor having waited quite long to order and then I asked for additional condiment which didn’t arrive until after I needed it. Then my plates were not cleared until I got up to get my own bill. I had the Lamb Rogan Josh, it was tasteless and extremely bland, the lamb did not taste fresh nor marinated for long. I won’t be going back to this restaurant within the Holiday Inn.
