Found another Indian food joint in the sandton city mall food court. They have limited options but good combination to pick. Added attraction is the samosa. Tried a chicken roll here. Presentation was nice. Amount is sufficient for a light dinner. A good option who is looking for Indian food.
I woke up with one of those hot curry cravings that just weren't going to go away.
I went on the Mr.D App and found this place I hadn't heard of before.
Ordered the butter chicken (hot)..... It was probably the BEST butter chicken I've ever tasted and it was just the right amount of hot.
Can't wait to taste the rest of what they have to offer.
Butter chicken is usually hit or miss and J's got it spot on!
I had lunch here a few days ago. This was after a few years! I'm glad to say the standard of the food is just as good. I had the tikka naan with cheese and it was so delicious. The food didn't take that long either so it's perfect for a lunch spot.
12.01.2018 Decided to give Mr D another try. Wanted something spicy for lunch. Ordered the Turkish Lamb Roti medium. MR D service and delivery is very quick.
My Roti was still warm. Not a very big sized Roti for the price, and the Lamb is just one long Kebab with some chopped Tomato and Onion and it needs salt. Not much texture to it either. Expected something different, but tasted ok. Will give something else on the menu a try some other time.
Really great food! Their Monday special of two naans for R80 is a decent deal indeed. The lamb naan is really nice but was a bit dry. The chicken tikka was the favorite for both my mom and I. The chicken is soft, spicy and delicious.
What also stood out was the friendly service. Usually I just expect over-the-counter service to be detached and impersonal but the man who served me, Laurence I think, was very friendly.
Quick food on the go. Had their chicken tikka masala pita in an extra hot flavor omg it was so delicious. It was actually hot and satisfying. Of course if hot food is your thing then I highly suggest you try this out. Yes they do have milder options :)
This burger not bad at all, for 50 bucks, with coke and chips, definitely fills the spot, nice and tasty, chips done just right too, awesome
Its a pity you guys don't have more shops around JHB, however, I don't mind driving from Midrand for the Lamb Naan!! Its the only thing I eat in Sandton! Delicious!!
Quite different from the north Indian food we're used to in most places. The curry options are your general popular ones, and they have many other (grilled/fried) options as well. Ordered a medium-spiced J's platter and a side of chips. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Especially considering that it's from the food court, heehee. Great sauces, and well-seasoned meats with some lovely bread. I'd definitely recommend this to share with a group of friends.
Doing a bit of shopping in Sandton last night so didn't have time to make supper at home. Decided to go to the food court and only found J's & Anat open. Decided on J's Tikka and ordered the Lamb Curry (Hot). Unfortunately they werre also about to close so had to eat out of 2 take away containers. The Lamb was really nice and flavoursome, however it took hot to another level. I was teary eyed, but it still tasted like somemore.
Just had the most divine Paneer Makne at J's Sandton City!Superhot - just the way I like it! I will definitely be back!Nom nom nom nom nom!!
My boyfriend and I love this little "home away from home" Indian takeout. We've had the butter chicken curry (portion serves 2) and the chicken tikka pita on two occasions, and I believe the food gets better every time. The prices here are very reasonable and the curries are divine. Would definitely recommend.
The curries at J's would give more established places a run for their money. This was the take-away joint that we preferred whenever we were done shopping but were not too keen to sit down & eat at the food court. The small seating section is usually in high-demand and sometimes due to this, the cleanliness takes a hit.
Although we have tried each & every one of the curries here, the best according to my taste buds were the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala and the Daal Makhnie. You get a choice of the curry being served with either naan or white rice. They also serve some mean chicken lollipops but they are a bit on the expensive side. Give the bajiya balls a wide berth as they are tasteless dumplings of just deep fried flour.
Also, try the lamb naan and fish naan. And if you dare, ask for it to be made "hot". Trust me, you will not regret it.
After a long long day of shopping I needed to refuel and entering the food court I didn't want to eat this, or I didn't want to eat that so I stumbled upon this take away store.
The cashier was friendly and we ordered our food.
I had the butter chicken with butter naan while my mom had the tika naan. The presentation of the food was terrible and my food looked like it had been dropped in oil. But the taste was delicious!I would go back purley because of how full of flavour and how divine it is!
To me this place is really not that bad for a quick meal during lunch time or before a movie. Even though this is basically the express version of Ghazal the food is basically the same however targeted as fast food with a difference ambiance to their sister company. This is probably one of the most expensive take-out places available in this food court which is the only downside. I usually order items that are "off the menu" such as paneer korma and I am yet to be disappointed. The staff are always helpful and accommodate me well. However, my only gripe is that the staff do need to learn the difference between vegetarian and vegan. Other than that the manager is always friendly and helpful.
Very tasty chicken korma with Naan bread. Owned by the same people as Ghazal in Peter Place. A bit on the pricey side but always the same quality Indian food
Amidst all the other branded food chains in Sandton city food court, this place, although a standalone one, serves some real tasty food. I specially like their chicken tikka.
For a food court I think this is amazing. Proper cutlery,makes all the difference. Generous portion, I took the half portion and it was enough. Naan had a bit of char on it but still had a good butter taste. Tender chicken, good flavours and some proper heat.
J's looks like an ordinary takeout for curries and other Indian takeouts. In reality they make tasty and genuinely appetizing food at reasonable prices. The chicken korma (medium) is my favourite. Their rice is fluffy, their naan breads tasty and light. Next time you're Sandton have a bite. Very much worth the experience.
This is probably the priciest restaurant at the Sandton City food court. You still sit out in the food court but your food is delivered to you along with cutlery. They prepare just enough food for the day so I was disappointed when they ran out of dhal makhani. Try one of the naan meals - it's like a saucy wrap with some lettuce, tomato and whatever filling you desire - delicious!
Top Indian cuisine at excellent prices. Limited selection, but it's tasty - above average, even if it is in a food court mall.
I don't know of a single person who's eyes don't light up with delight when the name Akhalwaya's is mentioned, and for good reason. The food is amazing, full of flavour and very generous portion sizes. If you are in the area and are in the mood to destroy your diet, make sure you visit.
My favourite dish is the lamb bunny. It is so delectable, I just can’t have enough of it. I keep going back for more
Great service & amazing food.
Absolutely awesome chow! Super fresh and super tasty. The staff are also very friendly and very accommodating. I would say this is hands down the best Akhalwayas I have ever had!
Oh what bite of heaven the AK special sandwich was...the flavors mingling seductively in a pas de deux :D too much love, too much fillings...their generosity transpires in their servings 😁 this is not a mere sandwich or your average roll....this is GOD speaking to us through food! Well done 👏
Juicy Junkfood! Fresh and delicious... There can be an option to add salad though. But overall they did not disappoint on their Russian rolls.
I'm vegan and still this place gets 5 stars. They go out of their way to make you something special.
Good service and good food. A must stop when shopping at Sandton City
Love the food, service is great as well. Would strongly recommend the AK47'S.
We do Plaitter's 😋😋 so must come and visit us in Sandton city mall
