Halal Reviews for Jamavar Mayfair

We celebrated my wife’s birthday (Dr. V) at Jamavar with a group of six, and it was an amazing evening. The maitre d’ deserves a special shout-out; she arranged the private room for us, which completely changed the feel of the night and made it so special. The starters were brilliant, the Beef Haleem was incredible, and the Gulab was very good. The Biryani reminded me of Awadh; rich, layered, and full of flavour. Jamavar’s art and interiors give the setting a real royal feel. We always come here for our big occasions, and once again, everything was spot on.

3/5 Stars overall 2 or even 1 star for service : Excellent Food, Disappointing Service Pace and repeated interuptions ​The ambience is lovely and the food is excellent, truly deserving of the Michelin star. However, the service significantly impacted our experience. ​We were repeatedly and annoyingly interrupted during our 7 pm business dinner by staff pressuring us to order the next course, citing the two-hour table limit. We knew this but then interrupting and not delivering was quite annoying. They were initially slow with drinks, but then aggressively rushed us through the meal, which felt unwelcome and unprofessional. Furthermore, the staff seemed disorganized: they missed one guest's starter and forgot my dessert totally, requiring multiple reminders. But still they kept saying "the table is booked for two hours sir" even after it was there fault to deliver correct orders... The restaurant was empty after 9.30 so not sure what they wanted...looked like the staff wanted to go home more than anything... Was wondering who would book a Michelin star restaurant after 9.30 pm (even they want a second round per table) if they want to enjoy a Michelin star experience... Bad service... The mango lassi wasnt great as well other food and desert especially the gajrela and the rasmalai were very tasty. ​Great food, but the inconsistent and rushed service needs immediate attention to match the quality of the cuisine and the price point.

I loved the staff and I also liked the ambience but this is very disappointing to say that the food isn’t upto the mark. We ordered Aloo tikki which was average but the Laal maans was below average. It was nothing like Rajasthani Laal maans. This is something I’d definitely not recommend to anyone to try. And would request the chef to please bring something authentic. The food is average for the price they’re charging.

Excellent Indian fine dining. the food was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Great atmosphere and elegant decor. Service was good, though a bit slow at times. It’s pricey (£100+ per person), but perfect for a special dinner.

Nice spot for Indian fare - we liked the truffle khichdi, the palak paneer, the naan and the pulao (the daal tarka was a bit bland). Staff is friendly, though service was a bit slow. It’s quite small so it can get very loud when busy, but the decor is nice. It’s quite expensive, potentially a bit overpriced for the quality we had (though conscious we may have missed some meat highlights), can be nice for a special occasion.
