Four elegant addresses across Paris serving authentic Indo-Pakistani cuisine with signature biryanis, tandoori specialties, and homemade curries crafted from fresh ingredients.
The full story
Authentic Indo-Pakistani cuisine featuring aromatic biryanis, tandoori specialties, and rich curries, all prepared in-house with fresh ingredients and traditional techniques.
The menu at New Jawad showcases the depth and diversity of Indo-Pakistani cuisine, with dishes that demonstrate both technical skill and respect for tradition. At the heart of the offerings are the biryanis—layered rice dishes where fragrant basmati is cooked with spiced meats, creating complex flavors that develop through careful preparation. These aren't simple rice dishes but rather elaborate compositions where each grain absorbs the aromatics of saffron, cardamom, and other spices.
The tandoori section highlights the restaurant's mastery of clay oven cooking. Meats and vegetables emerge with the characteristic smoky flavor and slight char that only a proper tandoor can achieve. Whether you choose chicken, lamb, or paneer, the tandoori preparations deliver bold flavors balanced by yogurt-based marinades that tenderize and season simultaneously.
Curries represent another cornerstone of the menu, with options ranging from the creamy, tomato-rich butter chicken to the more delicate lamb Shaï Korma. Each curry demonstrates the kitchen's understanding of spice layering—building heat and flavor through careful combinations of cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and other aromatics. The sauces are rich without being heavy, complex without being overwhelming.
Vegetarian diners find substantial options beyond simple side dishes. The kitchen treats vegetable preparations with the same care as meat dishes, creating satisfying meals that showcase seasonal produce and traditional preparations. Accompaniments like naan bread, rice, and raita complement the main dishes, while traditional beverages like mango lassi provide cooling contrast to spicier preparations.
Everything is prepared in-house using fresh ingredients, a commitment that elevates the final results. The passionate team behind New Jawad brings expertise and dedication to each dish, ensuring consistency across all four locations. Whether you're ordering the signature butter chicken or exploring lesser-known regional specialties, you're experiencing cuisine prepared with both skill and respect for its cultural origins.
Elegant and warm, New Jawad creates a refined atmosphere that balances sophistication with the welcoming spirit of traditional Indo-Pakistani hospitality.
New Jawad cultivates an atmosphere that distinguishes it from casual curry houses, offering instead a chic and polished environment where you can enjoy Indo-Pakistani cuisine in refined surroundings. The ambiance across all four locations strikes a careful balance—elegant enough for special occasions yet warm enough to feel genuinely welcoming. This isn't a place for rushed meals; the atmosphere encourages you to settle in, savor the complex flavors, and enjoy the experience.
The restaurants maintain a sophisticated energy that appeals to both locals seeking quality ethnic cuisine and visitors wanting an elevated dining experience. The lighting is thoughtfully designed to create intimacy without darkness, and the space feels curated rather than cluttered. You'll find the atmosphere equally suitable for a romantic dinner, a business meal, or a gathering with friends. The service style reinforces this refined approach—attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive, with staff who understand the menu and can guide you through the offerings.
What makes the vibe particularly appealing is how it honors the cuisine's cultural roots while presenting them in a contemporary Parisian context. You're not dining in a recreated subcontinental setting with heavy-handed theming; instead, the restaurants feel authentically Parisian while celebrating Indo-Pakistani culinary traditions. This approach creates a comfortable environment for diners of all backgrounds, whether you're deeply familiar with the cuisine or exploring it for the first time.
The decor across New Jawad's locations emphasizes contemporary elegance with subtle cultural touches that enhance rather than overwhelm the dining experience.
While specific decorative details vary across the four locations, New Jawad maintains a consistent aesthetic philosophy that prioritizes sophistication and comfort. The restaurants avoid the clichéd approach of excessive cultural ornamentation, instead opting for a more refined interpretation that feels both modern and respectful of Indo-Pakistani heritage.
The design creates an upscale environment through quality materials, thoughtful lighting, and careful attention to detail. Tables are well-spaced to ensure privacy and comfort, and the overall layout facilitates both intimate dinners and larger group gatherings. The color palette tends toward warm, inviting tones that complement the rich hues of the cuisine itself.
The Tour Eiffel location, with its Avenue Rapp address, benefits from the neighborhood's classic Parisian architecture while the interior design creates a distinct identity. Each restaurant feels polished and well-maintained, reflecting the same attention to quality that characterizes the food. The decor succeeds in creating an environment where the focus remains on the dining experience—elegant enough to feel special, comfortable enough to relax and enjoy your meal.
New Jawad's four strategic locations across Paris offer flexibility and convenience while maintaining consistent quality and the ability to host private events.
What distinguishes New Jawad in Paris's competitive dining landscape is the combination of multiple locations with consistent quality and a genuinely refined approach to Indo-Pakistani cuisine. While many ethnic restaurants remain neighborhood affairs, New Jawad has successfully expanded to four addresses without diluting its standards or compromising its identity.
The geographic spread of the restaurants—from the residential elegance of Longchamp to the tourist-friendly Tour Eiffel location, from the central Richelieu address to the lively New Balal in the 9th—means you can access quality Indo-Pakistani dining across different parts of the city. This isn't a chain with standardized, mass-produced food; rather, it's a small group of restaurants that share a commitment to quality while serving different neighborhoods.
The ability to host private events adds another dimension to New Jawad's offerings. Whether you're planning a business dinner, family celebration, or special occasion, the restaurants can accommodate groups in an elegant setting. This flexibility, combined with delivery services for those who prefer dining at home, demonstrates a modern approach to hospitality that extends beyond traditional restaurant service.
The team's passion for the cuisine comes through in both the food and the service. This isn't merely a business operation but rather an endeavor driven by people who care deeply about sharing authentic Indo-Pakistani flavors with Parisian diners. That dedication manifests in the careful sourcing of ingredients, the in-house preparation of dishes, and the attention to detail that characterizes the entire operation.
Reserve ahead, especially for the Tour Eiffel location, and don't hesitate to ask for spice level adjustments to match your preferences.
Reservations are strongly recommended across all New Jawad locations, particularly for dinner service and weekends. You can book through their website, which provides a straightforward reservation system for all four restaurants. This advance planning ensures you secure a table at your preferred location and time, especially important for the Tour Eiffel address, which attracts both locals and visitors to the area.
The Tour Eiffel location operates consistent hours throughout the week—lunch from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM and dinner from 6:45 PM to 11:30 PM, Monday through Sunday. This reliability makes it easy to plan your visit, whether you're seeking a midday meal or evening dining. The location is easily accessible via metro, with École Militaire (line 8) and Alma-Marceau (line 9) both within walking distance.
If you're unfamiliar with Indo-Pakistani cuisine or have specific spice preferences, communicate with your server. The kitchen can adjust heat levels to suit your taste, ensuring you enjoy the complex flavors without overwhelming spice if that's not your preference. Conversely, if you prefer more heat, they can accommodate that as well.
Consider ordering a variety of dishes to share, which allows you to experience the breadth of the menu. Pairing different curries, a biryani, and some tandoori items creates a more complete picture of the cuisine. Don't skip the mango lassi—it's both delicious and provides a cooling counterpoint to spicier dishes.
If you can't visit in person, New Jawad offers delivery services through their website, bringing the same quality food to your home. For larger gatherings or special occasions, inquire about private event options, which can transform your celebration with authentic Indo-Pakistani cuisine in an elegant setting.
