SANTA CLARA, CA: The Bay Area’s vibrant culinary scene welcomed an exciting new addition with the grand opening of Jashn, a contemporary Indian restaurant in Santa Clara that celebrates regional flavors, bold spices, and culinary innovation in November 2025.
Jashn stands out by offering unique and lesser-known Indian dishes rarely found on standard menus. Signature offerings include the aromatic Donne Biryani, a Karnataka specialty traditionally served in a woven palm-leaf container, and the soulful Ghate Ki Sabji, a rich and flavorful Rajasthani delicacy made with gram flour dumplings simmered in spiced yogurt gravy. These dishes reflect Jashn’s commitment to showcasing India’s diverse regional cuisines.
Chef Vittal Shetty’s vision focuses on showcasing India’s vast regional diversity through food, while Reshmi Nair brings a strong emphasis on quality, consistency, and guest experience.

Their commitment to authenticity is reflected in every aspect of Jashn, from sourcing spices directly from India to introducing rotating menus that highlight different regional cuisines. Under their leadership, Jashn aims to create a dining destination that feels both nostalgic and new, inviting guests to rediscover Indian food in a fresh and exciting way.
The restaurant is backed by Jalsa Catering, its parent company, which has earned a strong reputation for delivering high-quality Indian cuisine at large-scale events, weddings, and corporate gatherings across the region. Drawing from Jalsa Catering’s deep expertise and loyal following, Jashn brings the same authenticity and excellence into a refined restaurant setting.
Adding a dynamic twist to the dining experience, Jashn has announced plans to refresh its menu every two months, ensuring guests can look forward to new flavors, seasonal specialties, and regional highlights throughout the year. This rotating menu concept reflects the culinary diversity of India while keeping the dining experience fresh and exciting.
At the heart of Jashn’s kitchen is Chef Sidesh Parab, whose culinary vision blends tradition with thoughtful innovation. With deep knowledge of regional Indian cooking and a passion for authenticity, Chef Sidesh curates menus that honor classic recipes while presenting them in a contemporary and approachable way for today’s diners.
