The food is good but the bald guy is very rude and *******. Don’t go there until he is there.

I don’t know why, but we went there again. And again the high-pitch voiced bald guy just destroyed it for us… The food came out and it was good. However, when it came time to pay, Baldie punched in the tip for me — without asking me. When I asked why the tip was in, he apologized and reset the bill on the card reader. NEVERAGAIN — they are trying to force their tip percentage on their customers!

Too much quantity is served per item so prepare for that and order. We ordered tandoori fish(dint like it), chicken tikka(was okay), kadai chicken with naan –ok and chinese chicken fried rice(dint like it).

This is an equivalent of the average, run of the mill corner restaurant/café in India. In short, it is nothing special, but being in Canada, it is a novel thing. Anyways, I have been there a couple of times, the food is good and the sweet/snack shop has things like eggless pastries and other Indian style bakery items. The food is great value for the quantity and taste is strictly good. PS: Naan is horrible. I’d order take out for curries and buy the frozen naan from the Indian grocery stores next door.

La Jawab also spelt, Lajawab, serves indian and Hakka Chinese cuisine. What impressed me about this place was the service. The owner or manager always made sure we had enough water and never made us wait when we needed more naan :) They have equal amounts of dishes for vegetarians and meat lovers :) Actually, if you include the appetizers, there’s actually more vegetarian dishes. We came here with a group of friends and ordered two kinds of Daal(yellow and black lentils), plain naan, garlic naan and butter naan, vegetarian pakoras with chick peas, another appetizer I can’t remember the name of, butter chicken lol, garlic chili prawns, and a couple of other dishes I can’t remember either hahaha *sigh* :(But, I will tell you this; the food is good here and worth a visit. The thing is, I love indian food, pakistani food, punjabi food like anything from that part of the world and I’ve been to many«indian» restaurants and its never the same… like noway nohow; everyone has their own little twist on the same dishes, its so hard to benchmark anything. Its pretty much about the handful of dishes or maybe theres just 2 that you really like at one restaurant that will make you come back for more. Maybe its the service and maybe its just that they have amazing Chai :) So, from my experience and comparing it with the many, many, many indian restaurants I’ve dined at in my life, La Jawab deserves 4 stars. All I can say is that you can expect to have a consistent experience here, their naan was very good, and their dishes had the right amount of quantity. Great service and delicious food, even though we had to wait a while for the chai, it didnt matter too much to me; more talking and catching up with old friends. oh yeah! and their Gulab Jamin and Rasmalai were really good. If you get their gulab jamin, make sure you let it sit for a bit to cool down; mine was served really hot.
