Bangkok (Thailand) – February 14, 2020 (travelindex.com) – With the opening of the JHOL Indian Restaurant, Bangkok is setting new standards in fine Indian cuisine. World-class chef Hari Nayak will indulge his passion for South Indian coastal cuisine with his culinary creations, delighting discerning guests seeking new and unforgettable experiences.

Chef Hari Nayak's culinary adventure began in Udupi, a city on the southwest coast of India. From there, he traveled to the USA to further explore his gastronomic journey as part of his never-ending quest to develop as many new and innovative recipe ideas and cooking techniques as possible.

These experiences led Chef Nayak to write a series of acclaimed cookbooks that introduced the world to his unique interpretation of Indian cooking style and opened the door to the food of his homeland for many who initially found Indian cuisine intimidating.

This unique culinary experience offers a brasserie-style menu in a chic and modern setting, featuring cultural design elements that reflect the Indian heritage of the menu and the overall concept of the restaurant.

Inspired by Chef Nayak's coastal roots, JHOL celebrates the joys of fresh, succulent seafood. Delicious dishes such as chili-garlic crab with egg appam, green peppercorn fish with pickled lime dip, and shrimp cooked in delicate coconut all occupy a place of honor at the heart of the menu.

At JHOL, there's something for everyone: The selection of meat, poultry, and vegetarian dishes includes, among others, Ghee Roast Chicken Dosa, Pork Belly Vindaloo, and roasted pumpkin and pineapple curry. This menu transports guests to the coast of India – an unforgettable culinary journey.

However, unlike the dishes that many people associate with Indian food, JHOL offers a more modern and healthier interpretation of Indian cuisine, using only the best and freshest seasonal ingredients.

Head Chef Hari Nayak said: “I am very excited to be able to introduce the coastal dishes of my childhood to a new audience in Bangkok. The cuisine of this region is very close to my heart, and I have reinterpreted many classics, making them more accessible without denying their origins. Given the many similarities with Indian and Thai cuisine, it only makes sense to offer guests in Bangkok a new culinary experience like JHOL. I am sure that once our guests have tasted our menu, they will return and will certainly bring their friends with them.”

In addition to the food offerings, there is also an exotic selection of drinks to refresh the palate, from sophisticated cocktails to an exclusive selection of wines, spirits and more.

While Bangkok has always had Indian restaurants, nothing quite like JHOL. Therefore, this culinary experience is likely to quickly become a favorite among guests looking for something new.

JHOL is located at Sukhumvit 18 in Bangkok and is open daily from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. To reserve a table or for more information, please call +66 2004 7174.
