From the north is Lucknow, a capital city near the Nepalese border, with galouti and kakori kebabs, slow-cooked nihari (beef) and chaat, which is an entire category of street food that can be sweet, savory or spicy.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s capital, Delhi, has a diverse culinary story that can be tasted through stuffed parathas, crisp tikkis with chutneys, chole kulche and kebabs cooked over hot charcoal.<\/p>\n
Hyderabad, located in the South, is renowned for its passion for spices. Look for haleem (a heart stew), dum biryani (spiced meat layered with rice), pathar ka gosht (meat cooked on heated stone) and mirchi ka salan (chili pepper curry).<\/p>\n
Chettinad pepper chicken, prawn curry, nethili fry (crispy anchovies), paired with idiyappam (steamed rice noodles), appam (fluffy rice pancake) and coconut rice come from the coastal city of Chennai. <\/p>\n
Traditional methods like dum cooking will seal in aromas; dhundar smoking gives a charcoal kiss to plates, while braising gives depth and bhunao gives slices of meat a good sear. Baghar tempering will layer flavors, and select meats from the menu will be stone-seared.<\/p>\n
The main dining room is brimming with ambition, but it doesn\u2019t stop there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A Tour of All Regions<\/p>\n
At the center of Jashan\u2019s dining room is a chef\u2019s table that will serve the restaurant\u2019s \u201cDil Se\u201d menu, which translates to \u201cfrom the heart\u201d in Hindi. This is an omakase-style tasting with a progression of regional flavors, allowing diners to discover the stories of all the regions and cities of Jashan in one visit.<\/p>\n
Tastings will be available in either a seven- or 13-course option, and the menu is expected to change approximately every 45 days. Dil Se means \u201cfrom the heart\u201d in Hindi. <\/p>\n
The beverage menu is backed by award-winning mixologist Brian Van Flandern, whose tamarind margarita, masala martini, saffron spritz and other creations celebrate India\u2019s herbs, spices and bold flavors. <\/p>\n
Nights end on a sweet note with desserts like the Rasmalai tiramisu, which is a fusion of the Italian sweet and Bengali rasmalai, kulfi (traditional, scratch-made Indian ice cream) and gulab jamun, which are these interesting deep-fried dough balls soaked in saffron syrup.<\/p>\n
