Not a romantic quiet place
Avoid if you need to enjoy desi northy food with subtle soft music and soothing interiors. This place is as "jalsa" as it can get. We went with our family decidedly not wanting to be quiet and had a great time with the sword and pagdi snaps, very typical north indian food and loud bollywood presence.

Disproving the fourier theorem.
Yup... Fourier... You've got it wrong!
MAY BE you are just NOT ready for something different.
Praise or abuse, I like to give it in as less words as possible.
So... as I walked out of the restaurant, only two fingers out of my ten made sense. and they were my Thumbs.... :)

Awwwful!
Ewww - I am not sure if it was overdone kitsch ambiance that got to me OR the look that painted an image of a "bordello w/o the chicks" in my mind. But, either way, this place was "ewww" to my aesthetic senses.
I certainly didn't "enjoy" the mirrored ceilings, the lights changing from pink to blue to orange and yellow over my dinner plate, the Bollywood songs playing through the projector in the middle of the restaurant, the tiny cubby holes hidden away around the sides with cheap mirrory-stringy stuff used as a curtain (I wonder WTF goes on there!) or the waiters dressed as mogul emperors. Yes, it made me laugh over what I had gotten myself into, but at the same time it was highly disturbing. Who did the interiors for that place again?!
Interiors aside, the food wasn't great at all. Jalsa does not serve authentic mughlai cuisine (period!). O, did I mention that we had to howl down the waiters for water every time, to take the order and to get the bill? One of the waiters got angry when we wrote a review and came down to argue with us - "I thought I gave good service!" he said.
As we were walking out and laughing at our strange luck that got us to that place, we saw a bunch of ditsy-wannabe-bollywoodish chicks get in with a nasal "awwh, what a keeewl place - so pretty naaa?" :)
P.S. go there with your friends for a good laugh at the decor when not so hungry - Jalsa is not meant for a family/quiet dinner.

Good food but very expensive
Jalsa is a beautiful restaurant, gives you a great feel when you enter. The interiors are extremely attractive & makes you feel like you are in a mughal palace! I was quite impressed by the look of the restaurant. The food is extra-ordinary! Yeah the food here is very delcious & the service is quite good too. Only hitch is that its quite expensive. A bottle of mineral water also costs Rs.75!! A good meal for 2 will cost you around Rs.800. But its worth going there at least once in a while!

A different experience
When I first walked into this place I just stood there soaking in the ambiance. Never before have I been to such kind of a themed restaurant and it was quite an experience.
The only sad part being that they have this screen right in the middle with a projector playing ghazals. I think when people go out to eat, the last thing on their mind is to have the telly for distraction.
The food is simply amazing and quite rich and heavy on the stomach. For one of those offbeat experiences, this is definitely a place to visit, atleast once.
