Jai's Contemporary Indian Cusine

Jai's Contemporary Indian Cusine - 09/06/2021 01:29 AM

Our second favorite meal in our two week stay.
Located in Simpson Bay between top carrot and zee best
Jai worked under Dino at Temptation / Rare and an CIA graduate
Must of been a busy night as Jai was out of the kitchen on our visit bartending and serving tables
We sat inside and got to watch the open kitchen and see all the dishes being served
We know we were in for a wonderful meal
Do not hesitate to try one of their specialty cocktails
Appetizers included a take on the Italian burrata with smoky spices and blistered tomato and heavenly nan bread while the buffalo cauliflower had just the right amount of heat
Entrees included a perfectly cooked cod and four lamb ribs cooked to medium
While I had a dessert in mind and we couldn't take left overs because we were leaving the next day we forgo dessert

Jai's table presence was excellent as many chef's prefer to stay behind the line

Jai's accepts the magic of the carribean card and is definitely on our return list for next year

I had the cod in June, and it was out of this world.

Jazzgal we have similar tastes as I recall your reviews, except that older jazz is not my cup of tea
I am amazed how well you travel the island by yourself

Thanks for the report. The name of the restaurant is Jal's INDIAN cuisine. Those dishes don't really seem Indian to me, although perhaps I don't know what Indian food is?? Was it spicy? I figure the buffalo cauliflower would be. I'm kind of burnt out on cauliflower right now though, as we have been on a (sort of) low carb diet..

Of course the buffalo cauliflower had a little heat, other dishes featured a lot of spices but not necessarily hot
When i think of Indian cuisine I think of very flavorful food but doesn't need to be spicy
I would describe the cuisine as Indian fuzion
