Indian food may not be the hardest thing to find in Dubai. But fresh, well-cooked traditional Indian meals, with dozens of vegetarian choices at budget prices on Sheikh Zayed Road? You don’t stumble upon across that every day.
Jashan wins the hearts and tummies of every diner. You can tell from the smiles – and from the number of customers that head back to the restaurant for return visits. Sizzling dishes arrive from the kitchen quite literally steaming; from Saag Paneer (cottage cheese with creamy spinach sauce) and Bombay Aloos (potatoes cooked with whole cumin, onion and tomato), to vegetable curries and fresh buttered naans, covered with flakes of garlic.
Watch out for the pre-meal nibbles; they may be mouthwatering, but you will need to save room for what follows… Jashan serves large portions, which will leave you wishing you had skipped straight to the main. If this happens, worry not; for all leftovers can be packed into the same sturdy, microwave-friendly containers as takeaways. You can also choose the degree of spice, depending on your tolerance level. We went all the way and opted for “very spicy”- quite an experience! Vegetarian or not, Jashan is a must-try for every Dubai food lover.
