An Indian restaurant and grocery in Crystal Lake has been transformed into the new Jalsa Bar and Restaurant.
Owners Nikunj and Dhara Patel originally opened Indian Chatpata Swad Restaurant and Indian Spices Grocers at 1295 Randall Road, Suite 112, in November 2019 before remodeling the space and renaming it this year, according to a news release from the Cary-Grove Area Chamber of Commerce.
The Cary-Grove Chamber hosted a ribbon-cutting with the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce in October.
The Patels also own Lucky Penny’s in Cary and have another, Lucky Lucy’s 7, in the works for 412 Route 14 in Fox River Grove.
Jalsa has an extensive menu of authentic Indian food, a wide selection of Indian beers, as well as traditional and domestic bar offerings, according to the release. Jalsa also offers catering services and has daily happy-hour specials and karaoke every Friday and Saturday night.
