Jashan, Dalas / Jashan
Jashan, a new Indian fine-dining restaurant at Legacy North, opened in Dallas with a menu centered on the royal culinary traditions of India’s historic courts and regional kitchens.
Established by entrepreneur Prasanna Singaraju, the restaurant introduces dishes associated with the Mughal courts of Old Delhi, the Nawabs of Awadh, the Nizams of Hyderabad and the Chola legacy of southern India.

Jashan—meaning “celebration”—positions itself as a venue focused on centuries-old cooking practices.The kitchen is led by chef Ashish Bhasin, known for his work in regional Indian cuisines, and Chef Ramesh Thangaraj.
Singaraju said the project reflects a personal effort to preserve culinary memory. “Home was where meals brought us together, creating moments that formed who we are. Building Jashan comes from the desire to extend these moments while keeping the essence of where I come from alive,” he said.
“Each dish speaks of tradition, each service reflects care, and each visit is built to leave a lasting connection,” he added.
Traditional techniques such as dum slow-cooking, dhungar smoking, bhunao searing, tandoor roasting and stone-searing shape much of the preparation.
The Lucknow section features galouti and kakori kebabs, sheermal, slow-cooked nihari and yogurt-based chaats. Hyderabad contributes haleem, dum biryani, pathar ka gosht and mirchi ka salan.
Southern coastal dishes include Chettinad and Tanjore-style curries, meen moilee, prawn and lobster rassa, nethili fry and accompaniments such as idiyappam, appam and neer dosa.
Desserts reflect multiple regions, with offerings such as nimish, shahi tukda, daulat ki chaat, rabri, qubani ka meetha, double ka meetha, elaneer payasam and adhirasam. Ingredients such as saffron from Pampore and locally sourced microgreens are used to maintain flavor consistency. An omakase-style tasting menu is planned as part of the dining program.
Inside, the restaurant incorporates warm lighting, handcrafted décor and design elements referencing Indian craftsmanship. A chef’s table and private dining spaces are included for tasting menus and small gatherings.
Chefs Bhasin and Thangaraj said the restaurant is intended to introduce Dallas diners to a broader representation of India’s culinary heritage while offering a distinct option within the area’s expanding South Asian dining scene.
Jashan opens amid a significant rise in South Asian restaurants across the Dallas–Fort Worth region.
Plano, Irving, Richardson and Carrollton now host hundreds of Indian eateries, reflecting demographic expansion and growing mainstream interest in Indian cuisine nationally.
