“We had dinner at Jai Ho Indian Restaurant on Boxing day. The food and customer service has been immaculately fantastic. Great suggestion from one of there staff (Ginny).”

Gugu Aulakh

“It was an unplanned visit with no expectation and with the tasty food they impressed us a lot. We ordered butter naan and chicken Tikka masala + tea. The serving size was optimum which is uncommon in Indian restaurants and the waiting time was reasonable. However, the tea was terrible 🫢. The internal atmosphere was clean and tidy, especially the interior was excellent. Customer service was also polite and friendly. Reasonable pricing . All together it was a good experience.”
