After much thought about where we would eat today after our excursion, we agreed to try the new restaurant Jalvi located in Solna. Right by the station street down to Frösunda is Jalvi with some customer parking spaces outside the door.
Very welcoming light and nice atmosphere, fresh décor and plenty of space.
This time it was me who had to decide what to try. Usually we tend to over the appetizer but as we were really hungry we first started with the appetizer. I ordered Lahori dahi only which was made of lentils dipped in yogurt with chutney. So I can be honest by saying have not eaten so good Dahi Bara in Sweden before. So soft Bare with all flavors to make it the perfect Dahi Bara. Pakistani Alo chana chat which is made from chickpeas and potatoes in yogurt. Perfect soft chana with yogurt and flavor that will excite your taste buds. Bombay paneer chilli has never seen any restaurant in Sweden serve this appetizer. Roasted peppers, paneer and onions in chilli sauce and a mixture of sweet and sour combination perfectly so tasty that it must be experienced by itself completely indescribable.
For the food, it became a Chicken handi which is most often called but is not cooked in the special stew Handi that gives the dish its name. This handi was prepared in the special way and the taste was like in the homeland, it was not the typical variants adapted for Westerners.
My favorite was Gunna Gosht which is cooked in a stone pot. Here, too, I was skeptical about whether it would be cooked correctly or made up. But there I had the wrong gunna gosht served in a stone pot it had been cooked in. Amazing taste, incredible tender lamb meat with normally balanced spices. Very simple spiced yet very tasty. This may be my personal favorite.
In addition to the food, the staff was very nice to come and check the situation from time to time. There was a guy there who I think was the owner who also asked what the food was like. Going to say one thing it's not very often someone is so receptive to judgment. But this man wanted to know how we experienced the food and everything else.
