My wife and I LOVE his restaurant. Great food! Great price! Wonderful service! They also own a take-away a few doors up called Bithika. They do great meal deals here. Can't fault them at all!

Belfast is full of average Indian restaurants, serving tinned sauces and poor quality meat and fish. The Jharna is different, everything cooked fresh, great quality service, been going for 10 years now and recommend it 100%, also busiest restaurant in Belfast.

Having gotten back from a boozy office weekend away in Barcelona a few Sundays ago, I was craving some Indian food. I ordered a chicken madras while my vegetarian girlfriend had a daal. The takeaway was moderately expensive, (around 20 quid) now I don't begrudge paying for quality, however what arrived was revolting. My madras was floating under a sea... More

The best thing about The Jharna is the décor, it is far superior to most Indian restaurants in Belfast I have been in - modern, stylish and spacious. It deserves a special mention as it creates a very good first impression. Our party of 5 visited for the early bird menu which was £12.95 for 2 courses which on reflection... More

As of last night the jharna has just gone from hero to zero in my eyes and the rest of the group of 6 I was with. I eat out in Belfast on a regular basis and have found the choice and level of service to be steadily increasing, that is until last night. Having been to the Jharna once... More

My wife, daughter and I visited the Jharna on Mother's Day and had a most enjoyable evening meal in the modern contemporary styled dining area that was bustling with customers. We were welcomed and shown to the seating area at the bar then were quickly seated at our table. There was then some delay in placing our order but after... More
