Jai Ho Indian Kitchen | Krog Street Market

"Don’t overlook this tiny Krog Street Market stall. Jai Ho serves up incredible, highly seasoned food and expertly combines North and South Indian flavors with creative, non-traditional twists—like the fiery chicken 65 burrito or the shrimp naan wrap bursting with onions, peppers, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, garlic sauce, and chutneys. And there are excellent vegetarian and vegan options, like hearty vegan chana masala that comes with roti and a crispy vegetable samosa. Add in their quick service, and this is a great takeout spot—whether it's with your lunch buddies or for a casual dinner." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder

"This Indian stall at Krog Street Market Place is perfect when you want to eat great food without the whole white tablecloth drama or prices that necessitate a career change. Most of the dishes have significant heat, but not so intensely that it overpowers the tang of ground spices or the subtle sweetness of roasted tomatoes. On a menu full of hits, our favorite dish is the chana masala with plenty of ginger kick. But if you're looking for meat in your meal, order some chicken tikka masala with creamy sauce that comes with rice, butter naan, and a samosa for $15. The only seating option is in the food court, but you can always get something to go. (Jai Ho's wraps and burritos work best for this, especially the juicy shrimp naan loaded with onions, peppers, cucumber, and garlic.) With its expansive menu, generous portions for the price, and standard-setting menu staples, Jai Ho has earned its place as a top Indian spot in Atlanta. Food Rundown photo credit: Amy Sinclair Shrimp Naan Wrap With Chips This is a perfect wrap for lunch, and it is one of the best things on the menu. It comes loaded—onions, peppers, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, garlic sauce and chutneys squeeze between soft naan bread with juicy shrimp. The house-made potato chips come on the side of every wrap and burrito, and impressively maintain their crunch even after days in the fridge. Samosa The samosa's crispy shell breaks easily, letting out a warm, spice-scented puff of air. It's a nice prelude to set expectations for this tasty potato and pea-filled pocket. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Chana Masala Get this vegan, gluten-free Indian staple. It's the perfect rainy day dish, which is half the week in Atlanta. The tangy chickpea tomato-based curry has a decent amount of heat, and its warmth builds gradually with each bite. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Chicken Tikka Masala The most notable thing about this tikka masala is the velvety sauce—smooth like a Frankie Beverly riff. It’s not too sweet, and leans more into smoky garlicky, ginger notes. Naan Lots of fresh garlic gives this soft naan a nice kick. Lentil Soup This soup is on the thinner side but it works. The light, brothy consistency allows the lentils' savory flavors to come through clearly. Biryani The vegetable biryani stands its ground against the heat, and cumin, cardamom, and saffron shine without doing too much." - Jacinta Howard

"Owned by chef Anish Nair, Jai Ho Indian Kitchen at Krog Street Market offers samosa chaat, pani poori (also spelled puri), and the potato bomb (chickpea-coated potato dumplings) on its menu. But the pani poori here is the move. It’s a hollow deep-fried crispy pastry stuffed with potatoes and chutney dunked in flavored water to be eaten in one bite." - Henna Bakshi
