At Jalsa Indian Bar & Restaurant, food and drinks are more than just menu items—they’re experiences meant to complement each other. Indian cuisine, with its rich spices and bold flavors, offers endless opportunities for creative drink pairings. Whether you prefer cocktails, wine, or a chilled beer, the right drink can elevate your dining experience.
Here are some of our best food and drink pairings to try at Jalsa:
Tandoori Starters + Refreshing Beers
The smoky, chargrilled flavors of Tandoori Chicken or Paneer Tikka pair perfectly with a light beer. Crisp lagers and wheat beers help balance the spices while cleansing your palate after each bite.
Rich Curries + Bold Red Wines
From creamy Butter Chicken to spicy Rogan Josh, Indian curries are full of depth. A bold red wine like Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon works beautifully, as its tannins cut through the richness of the gravy.
Vegetarian Dishes + Crisp White Wines
Indian vegetarian dishes like Palak Paneer or Vegetable Korma shine when paired with refreshing whites. Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc balance the spices while highlighting the freshness of the vegetables.
Spicy Street Food + Creative Cocktails
Dishes like Chaat and Chicken 65 pack a spicy punch. To balance the heat, cocktails with citrus, mint, or sweetness are the perfect match.
Indian Desserts + Dessert Wines or Liqueurs
End your meal on a sweet note. Gulab Jamun or Rasmalai pairs wonderfully with dessert wines or creamy liqueurs.
At Jalsa, every dish tells a story, and the right drink makes it even more memorable. Whether you’re enjoying a casual evening or celebrating a special occasion, our team can help you find the perfect pairing from our extensive food and bar menu.

I recently visited Jalsa Indian Bar & Restaurant and tried their Paneer Tikka – and it was absolutely delightful! The paneer was perfectly marinated, soft, and had just the right smoky char from the tandoor.
If you’re looking for a place that serves authentic Indian flavors with great attention to detail, I highly recommend trying the Paneer Tikka at Jalsa – it’s a must-have! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
