What the Chicken Jalfrezi is like
Chicken Jalfrezi is a warming, spicy curry with tender marinated chicken and a rich sauce. Aromatic spices and fresh green chillies give it a lively kick, while crisp mixed peppers introduce a firmer bite. The description points to a curry for people who enjoy heat, rather than those seeking a mild main. No specific spice rating is supplied, so check with the pub if that distinction matters to you.
Served steaming hot, the curry comes with fragrant, fluffy pilau rice, soft warm naan and crisp poppadums. Those accompaniments create a useful contrast in texture, with the rice offering a gentler counterpoint to the robust sauce.
Is the Chicken Jalfrezi good value?
The typical price is £8.99, though prices vary by pub. Within the chicken dishes section, its position is the fifth lowest priced of the 7 items we track in this section. With pilau rice, naan and poppadums included, the accompaniments are worth considering before adding extra sides.
Compare the whole plate with alternatives such as the Southern-Fried Chicken Strips Basket or Lemon and Herb Half Chicken, rather than judging by the main ingredient alone. Curry Club traditionally runs on Thursday at participating pubs, often with a drink included. Ask whether this curry qualifies and compare the local meal options before ordering.

Tips for ordering the Chicken Jalfrezi
Check the price at your chosen pub before ordering, and compare any eligible meal-with-drink option with the curry ordered on its own.
Allow for the included pilau rice, naan and poppadums before adding sides, particularly if you are deciding between extra bread and dessert.
Ask about the heat if you usually choose mild curries, as the description highlights fresh green chillies and a warming spice profile.
Review the current allergen information for milk and mustard, then discuss any dietary requirements with the pub before placing your order.
On Thursday, ask whether Chicken Jalfrezi is part of the local Curry Club offer and which drinks qualify at that pub.
