Jaipur Junction

Went to Jaipur Junction for dinner tonight and as usual was not disappointed. For the most part, I consider this a takeout restaurant as the service can sometimes be slow, but tonight we ate in and dinner moved very quickly. (There is a buffet option during special hours, but I’ve never eaten at that.) For dinner tonight, as I have a gluten allergy, I didn’t partake in the samosa appetizer, but my family loved them. They were freshly fried, warm, and crispy. I sometimes get the tasty tomato ginger soup as a starter, but decided to skip tonight. Our main dishes consisted of the alu gobi, chicken saag, novratan korma, and chicken tikka masala. Sides of saffron rice and naan come with every main dish (plain naan comes with your dinner, but if you want the special flavored naan, you have to order them). Apart from the naan which I couldn’t eat, everything tasted amazing. I choose the medium spice level, but you can customize your dish from mild to spicy (and extra spicy if you ask). Really you can’t go wrong with whatever dish you choose. If you need to cool down, try a mango lassi. If you want a dessert that not overly sweet, give the carrot halwah a try, really, it’s excellent. If you don’t feel like eating in, don’t worry, they have carry-​out. Either way, this Indian food deserves a try.

Very solid Indian food this is the second best Indian food in NE Ohio you should check out the best Cleveland Tiffin

Taste is okay
Nice place
A little expensive if you order
Cheaper if you go on buffet time

First time trying out Indian fare. Very clean, comfortable environment. My coworker suggested the buffet and it was spot on. The Chicken Curry over saffron rice… I could eat a half gallon! Everything else was delicious too. I didn’t see too many labels so I really can t describe all the available options to enjoy, but it was all good!
Made it in for the dinner menu. Lamb Saag was excellent. Looking forward to some night shifts to work through the extensive menu!

Poor quality Indian food. Would prefer going to cuisine of India or Bombay chat. Don’t waste your time or money.

I would love to give this place a higher rating, but for dine-​in, I have to warn you that the service is terrible. Friendly, but terrible.
I went with my son and my girlfriend on a Saturday afternoon at around 2:00 pm. It was crowded, but not full. Clientèle ranging from Indian to Caucasian, which was nice to see. We were promptly seated in a booth, and offered the buffet, which we declined, opting rather to explore the menu, this having been our first visit. The menu had a wide range of Indian cuisine. Our waiter, however, went MIA. After maybe 10 minutes, maybe a bit less in fairness, but at least 7 minutes later, our waiter reappeared with our waters, and took our order. My son ordered the Lamb Vindaloo, and I ordered the tandoori chicken. My girlfriend ordered a rice dish, but I don’t recall which. Then we waited. And waited. And waited…
After another 10 minutes or so, we were asked if we would mind switching booths to allow access to their party room next door. We moved, and waited. And waited. And waited… Probably 30 minutes all told. No waiter stopping by to check-​in, ask for more water, assure us that the food is coming. Just sitting and waiting.
When the food arrived, however, I have to say that the flavors were superb. I do not have a lot of experience with Indian cuisine, so I am not able to opine on its authenticity, but I can tell you it was damn good.
I think that they prefer that patrons partake in the buffet, which did look good (just not my thing, as I have «sneeze guard» phobia), but if you’re looking to dine-​in off the menu, consider yourself warned. The food will be delicious; I just recommend arriving before your hungry. Hunger will set in while you wait. I promise.
All said, I will definitely go back. Only next time it will be for carry-​out.

Great Indian restaurant in an unsuspecting strip mall.
I’ve been going to Jaipur Junction for years and I have never had a bad experience.
I mostly order take out but occasionally I’ll eat in. Almost every time I’ve taken out, no matter how long your order, it’s taken 20 minutes. Which is really fast! The order is always correct and comes with more than ample amounts of extra rice and naan. Which is awesome because if you’re like me and like to wipe up all the extra sauce with your naan, you’ll be good to go!
This past time I came in to have dinner with a group of friends. It was empty when we came at 6pm but quickly filled up by the time we left at 8pm.
We tend to order family style when we come here since it’s easiest to try and have a bit of everything. This past visit we ordered alu cheese paratha, alu gobi (amazing veggie dish! You must try it) lamb saag (the lamb just melts in your mouth), chicken tandoori and chicken tikka masala (staple dish!). The meat dishes always come with huge chunks of meat so you can tell that it’s real meat and quality. We always finish off our meals with a Mango lassi to help cool out mouths off since we tend to order «American spicy». Service can sometime be a little slow but this is a 2 or sometimes 1 man operation and when it gets busy they are hustling to make sure your dishes come out hot!
FYI — they have different levels of spicy so don’t be afraid to tailor the dishes to your tastes. They go mild, medium, American spicy, Indian spicy.
Also note they have now opened the large side room for private parties.

Not the largest selection but what they do have is amazing!
For a vegan, this place is awesome.

Delicious! Great food for a great value. Don’t miss the lunch Buffet

One of best Indian restaurant in Cleveland. Must try.
Clean and calm place to eat food.
Samosas, Spinach Chickpea and chicken tangdi … Yemmy …

The food is top notch. The atmosphere is improving. Favorite meal is samosas, chicken tikka masala and nan

I’m obsessed. I love this place. So many vegetarian options. The portions are pretty big, and if I wasn’t such a glutton for this place it probably would last me two meals. The naan is sensational– we particularly like the garlic naan. Don’t pass up the samosas so delicious!
This place is also a great takeout option.

As an Indian, I can say with security that this is probably the best Indian restaurant in Cleveland. The buffet costs like $ 9, but you get a lot of bang for your buck. I definitely love the Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. I’ve taken a couple of my friends there and they all are addicted to Indian food now. It’s not too spicy, but if you’re ordering you can ask them to make it spicy. The Shahi Paneer is to die for if you’re a vegetarian. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. I live 5 to 10 minutes away and I definitely try making a trip out whenever I can.

Awesome!!! Great west side Indian food! highly recommend this restaurant. service is spot on, very generous portions

I love their somosa and chaat papri. Anytime I go, its the same fresh quality.

So so good! Coming from California 3 years ago and traveling about I’ve yet to taste any Mexican or Indian food that could even compare. This place is close, its still amazing! It’s hot just like I love it, the flavors are spot on and I don’t think I could complain about anything. The bf and I have gotten take out here several times, tonight we got a few dishes to try. He’s never had samosas before and I’ve never had the dipping sauces they served these with, So delicious! I think the samosas where a little soft on the outside, but not their fault considering it was take out and put into a box it probably sweat. Still amazing.
We ordered as soon as they opened for dinner. Our food was ready as soon as we walked in. Someone was getting take out in front of us, but 2 waiters still greeted us, making me feel like they appreciated us. The place looked clean and a couple people at tables for dinner, not too crowded yet. I’d love to try the lunch buffet some time.
I got the normal chicken Tikka masala and it had me wiggling in my seat for joy, also the garlic Naan was perfection.
I’d recommend to anybody!

After a terrible experience at udupi a friend accompanied us here to point out what was what. We arrived in time for the buffet. Its small but wonderful!
The clientele was mainly white which is great too see. Love when ppl embrace other cultures!
Everything is fresh and the buffet temp is correct.
The only reason for the ⁴⁄₅ rating is it took too long too get water and refills.

Visited with my niece & her fiancé & his family who are Indian. I enjoy Indian food but don’t eat it enough to know exactly what’s what. Jaipur Junction is a small mom/​pop place that presents very clean & has nice traditional art on walls. You can order off the menu but on weekends they have a buffet & that’s what we chose. It’s not a large buffet so hence its very reasonable $ 8.95 price — 2 appetizers, 3 vegetables, 2 entrées & 2 desserts & of course rice & naan. Really enjoyed the cold chickpea appetizer, the vegetables with cauliflower & yummy the carrot pudding. The 2 entrees chickens were ok… the curry had a good flavor but the meat was dry. They were attentive to refilling water which I appreciate.

Mmm, some good Indian food. A bit of a drive for those of us who live downtown, but it’s good.
We had a meeting there at 7pm on a Monday night and was able to get a table, without a problem. Located in a random strip mall (I almost passed it, but slammed on my brakes right in time), it’s decently busy, but not super full on a weekday.
We ordered a medley of different foods– the chicken makhani, paneer tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and mastani palek to name a few. They were all good and tasty. Not to spicy with a lot of spices though. Overall, pretty good. I’m not Indian so I can’t really determine if it was authentic, but in my opinion of Indian places, I thought it was good. Not the best I’ve had, but very good.
The service was kind of slow and the waiter didn’t really hear my order, but we had a large group of 6, so I guess that’s always hard. Overall though, pretty good Indian food!

Came here for the weekend buffet and was left pretty satisfied. The place itself is very casual, as is the service. The food was very good, not great, but definitely worth the $ 10 for the 4 plates of food I had.
The selection consisted of tikka masala, samosa, naan, papdi chaat, alu gobi, palak paneer, rice, tandoori chicken, and a few other dishes that I can’t remember the name of (they don’t label the foods). The samosa was a little disappointing. It was all potato with little seasoning. The naan was dry. The other dishes were all very good, although mild. I assume because it’s a buffet that they don’t make anything spicy, so you may have to order from the menu if you want some heat.
Overall though, I was very satisfied. The papdi chaat is refreshing and full of flavor. The tandoori chicken is actually tender here. They also had a few desserts. Sliced fruit, rice pudding, and something else that was really good. It was this sweet, brownish-​orange mush, which I can only guess is carrot halwah from looking at their menu. If you ever eat here, GET THIS.
Saffron Patch is my favorite Indian spot in the GCA, but I will probably frequent this place more since I live much closer. 3.5 rounded up.
