About Jazba

Located at 207 Second Avenue in the East Village, Jazba is a vibrant new Indian restaurant from the acclaimed team behind Junoon, one of NYC's trailblazing Indian spots . The name means "passion" in Urdu, and that energy pulses through every corner of this flamboyantly decorated space—think colorful cartoon murals of street carts, a sexy pink-lit bar, and an enclosed porch painted bright yellow . The menu is cleverly split into "half ticket" (small plates) and "full ticket" (entrees), drawing inspiration from India's roadside dhabas and century-old eateries . Standout dishes include the fiery Green Chili Chicken (served with appam, a bowl-shaped fermented rice bread), the Pandi Curry featuring pork belly from Mangalore, and the Galouti kebabs that multiple reviewers have called "the best" . The cocktail program is equally inventive, with options like the paan old fashioned (served from a smoking decanter) and mulethi (gin infused with licorice root, topped with a honeycomb cookie) . With a 4.5-star rating on Uber Eats from over 370 reviews and a Michelin-connected pedigree, Jazba has quickly become an East Village destination for regional Indian cooking that's equal parts bold, beautiful, and deeply flavorful .
