Best Lil’ Indian Restaurant in Town: JASHNN

Sometimes the best things in life are just across the road.

JASHNN, the Indian restaurant across from the Jinchang New Century Hotel Shaoxing (home of SingCinnati for 9 days while we were at the 2010 World Choir Games) became a ‘choir favorite’ during our stay.

Owned by the AHUJA family, Jashnn offers authentic Indian cuisine at very reasonable prices. The name of his restaurant JASHNN means ‘celebration’. The restaurant may have been small in area, but big in taste.

For 12 yuan, you get two hunkin’-big samosas: indian-spiced potatoes stuffed in a puff pastry of sorts, and mouth-watering. They are a meal in themselves!

Main meals run anywhere from 20 to 50 yuan, and portions are just right, if not generous. Some of our SingCinnati friends who preferred a vegetarian fare even had their meals ‘tailor-made’ to their tastes by Mr Ahuja and the team at Jashnn!

Hailing from Bombay (India), the Ahuja family made their way to the Textile City and set-up shop. Mr Ahuja’s brother and sister-in-law also own the Shaoxing Indian Kitchen Spice Centre in town. Their little son Bhagesh wasn’t too thrilled to be interviewed as it was late evening and he was leaning towards more sleep and less talk.

So when you find yourself in Shaoxing and you have that craving for some great Indian food, hop on over to Jashnn. And let Mr Ahuja know that SingCinnati said ‘hello’.
