   Not much vegetarian options. Food options and food quality was very mediocre. Dahi puri was very sweet. Tasted like gulab jamun. Daal was bland. Over all experience was Not that great. Waiters are also not fully educated and for every question you about the food ask they are lost. Not worth the time and money.

   Food was quite spicy even ordering the less spicy. Service was not good, our table server was nice but a lady who brings water and other stuff was quite rude. In general expensive, didn’t enjoy it much.

   We initially booked a table for two, but two of our colleagues joined us later, making it a party of four. I must say, this place is phenomenal! We got there by 4:30, and the place was already quite crowded. This was my first time visiting, and I actually found out about Jaks through Forbes magazine. The ambiance was fantastic—not like your typical Indian restaurant. It was clean, simple, and very well done. Honestly, you wouldn’t even guess it was an Indian restaurant at first glance because the decor was so modern and upscale. They have a full bar, and we enjoyed a couple of cocktails, which were amazing! We also tried four sharable plates, and every single one was interesting and unique. The chef’s signature dishes, especially the sea bass, lamb shank, and lamb chops, were absolutely stunning. The flavors were so authentic, and everything was cooked to perfection. The staff was very attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I heard from one of my colleagues that the menu changes every six months, which is pretty exciting. I’m already looking forward to trying their lunch menu next time. Overall, it’s a great place for dining—whether for a casual meal or something special. This was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be back soon!

   This was my first time visiting the place. I opted to go here for dinner based on the reviews and popular food recommendations on yelp. The only things that isn’t clearly stated is that the restaurant revise their menu every 6 months. Overall, the menu seemed limited in every category. I ordered spicy makhmali paneer and I could taste the raw chilli powder in it. Again, limited options in roti/paratha. Overall the experience and food was okay

   Excellent food and service. Ambience was ok. With a couple of drinks and appetizers, you can expect to spend $70-90 per person. Overall, great experience.

    We reserved a table in advance at Jaks Modern Indian Cuisine in Santa Clara and were seated on time. For our appetizer, we tried the Kairi Prawn Takku, which was juicy and paired perfectly with the aioli. Moving on to the main course, we ordered the Murgh (Chicken) Biryani, which was bursting with flavor from the spices, and the chicken was tender and well-cooked. We also had the Ajwani chili parotta and basil garlic parotta alongside the Kodagu (Lamb curry), which wasn’t overly spicy, and every flavor was well-balanced. The service was prompt, and the ambiance was great, with the place packed on a Friday night—so I highly recommend making a reservation. They also have a large selection of beers and cocktails. Would definitely come again!
