I loved Jashn! My favorite dish was the white butter chicken. I need it at my wedding ASAP (and i…read moredon't even have a husband yet ) . The service was super nice. I would come anytime I'm back in Santa Clara for sure. The meat is super tender and the curry compliments the food extremely well. I was left licking my fingers! Don't even get me started on the garlic naan. This was so good. I wish I could have an entire lifetime stock of this. I would recommend everyone to go here if you're in the area. We also tried the rose kulfi which was an extraordinary experience. Usually kulfi is served very anticlimactic how free the presentation blew my mind away. It made our entire experience tie together so perfectly and we all had our camera out for that!! Overall so happy with my experience at Jashn!!

We started with the Guava Chaat, which was amazing. It was served cold but was incredibly flavorful and refreshing. The Andhra Chili Chicken was another standout--a delicious take on Indo-Chinese chili chicken with bold Indian flavors. We also had the Paneer Tikka, which was incredibly soft, well-marinated, and packed with flavor. My favorite appetizer was the Vada Bao. The bao was perfectly fluffy and filled with delicious Indian-inspired flavors. We also had the lamb chops served on a hot stone, which were excellent and cooked beautifully. For the mains, the dal was good, and I especially enjoyed the saag paneer. We also tried the white butter chicken. I was expecting something more like the classic Chawla-style white chicken, but this version was richer and heavier than anticipated. It was still good, just different from what I expected. The service was attentive, the ambiance was lovely, and the food was creative and flavorful. Overall, a very enjoyable meal, and I'd definitely return to try more of the menu.

Specially if you are a big arty of more than two, allow yourself time to get seated. The food is amazing, and the staff is great and helpful.

I didn't think there was anything that we did not enjoy here and will be back to try additional menu items.

Misal Pav & Vada Misal - Absolutely loved the Misal! Authentic flavor, perfect spice level, and so hearty. I especially appreciated that it wasn't just sprouted moong--there was moong, matki, yellow peas, black-eyed peas, and green peas. A true protein-packed bowl. Two thumbs up Vada Pav - Another hit! We devoured it Sabudana Vada - Crispy outside, soft inside, and just the right size. Didn't care much for the chutney though. Sabudana Khichdi - This one didn't work for me; it leaned a bit too sweet. Ukadiche Modak & Puranpoli - The stars of the meal! Highly recommend both. The modak was soft, pillowy, and melt-in-your-mouth with a great dough-to-filling balance. The Puranpoli was super soft, ultra-thin dough, and perfectly flavored stuffing--excellent in both taste and quantity Sol Kadhi - Just okay for me; not something I'd return specifically for. Kokam Sharbat - Loved it! Overall, a wonderful spot for authentic Maharashtrian flavors with warm, welcoming staff. I'd definitely come back!

So I was hoping for some amazing food from here. I haven't seen many Maharashtrian restaurants, so was very excited. Here is all I ordered: - Kothimbir Vadi: this is absolutely delicious. The flavor and seasoning is top notch. Loved it. - Sabudana Vada: we make this often at home and is one of my favorite Maharashtrian dishes. This was not bad. A bit bland for my liking. But was fried well and I loved the crispness. - Sabudana Khichdi: this was not good. I make this at home and what was sent to me was not cooked properly. Most of the grains were not cooked, and was too bland. - Bhakri: this was awful. No taste. No flavor. It was this white roti that was sent. Not at all like the Bhakri I've eaten in Maharashtra. - Puranpoli: I was super excited to try this as I absolutely love Puranpoli. But this didn't hit the mark. It was ok. Needed to be sweeter. There are many other things in the menu and I would love to try next time I'm in the area.

I ordered the egg biryani, butter chicken, and their friday curry flight that came with the choice of 3 curries, a salad, raita, and naan. The biryani was super flavorful and not dry, and the egg paired with it well. All the curries were spicy and delicious, honestly not much more to say about it. I will say their raita is not my favorite, its just thick plain yogurt. I ordered online and I had to wait a little when I got there but that was okay. The interior is also spacious will lots of seating.

Local Pakistani artwork adorning the walls. Delicious grilled meat smells wafting around as well. ***FOOD: we got chicken 65, naan and samosa chaat sans yogurt. *chicken 65-3/5- this was almost beetroot red in color. In my naivety I hoped it was some natural food color using beetroot. But I later learnt from them that it was not. It left me appalled at the liberal use of such toxic artificial colors. Colors aside, the chicken itself was delicious. But I will make sure to ask them beforehand next time and order something that doesn't have colors. *naan-5/5- this was amazing. Hot from the tandoor. It wasn't charred at the bottom. It was light and large. It was clear that it was made by someone who knew their craft. I will come back here just for the naan. *samosa chaat-3/5- this made me sick, I had an upset tummy for a few days after. It was hot day so I m assuming they had problems with their chutney or maybe it was the samosa with the potato filling. Upset tummy aside, the chaat flavors were decent, not the best of the lot but decent nonetheless.
