Renowned as the Delhi’s oldest and loved hotel restaurant, ‘Jade’ is the perfect example of what a fine dining restaurant should be like. Jade is immensely loved by the dignitaries and locals alike if its jam packed house is of any indication. Fortunately located at stunning property like The Claridges, New Delhi, the restaurant gets its name from its beautiful décor. Jade is elegantly designed reflecting its Chinese heritage through the lovely jade statues gracing the restaurant. Tones of yellow and red are used to infuse the oriental touch to the décor. First word that comes to our mind upon entering Jade is opulent. Clever lighting discreetly highlights the beautiful jade statues that one can admire throughout the evening. The staff gives flawless service that you can be thankful about. They are well trained and informed so they can help you whenever you feel confused. The hush-hush ambience makes Jade a great choice for romantic date or even a business meeting.
The aromatic lovely Chinese food that comes to your table is practically a work of art. The food is beautifully presented in unique platters/bowls to enhance the lush colours so you can ooh-aah over admirably. The food taste as good as its mouth-watering presentation. To sample Jade’s culinary delights start your meal with lemon coriander soup, five spiced duck salad, chong ching chicken, fried tofu in chilli sauce, pumpkin & chicken dumpling, vegetable spring roll, chicken & tofu soup, black fungus & spring onion with flavoured oil, crab & asparagus soup, crispy stir fried lotus stem, dry chilli & cumin lamb, salt & pepper prawns, pan fried lamb dumpling and steamed pork with sticky rice. The mains are as delicious as the appetizers. Jade has, hunan style steamed chilli fish, sliced tenderloin with pok choy, vegetable mapo tofu, fried fish in hoisin sauce, steamed fish in Cantonese sauce, butter garlic lobster and Szechwan chilli crab.
The variety of mains and appetizers are much more so you will have a gala time choosing your meal. Skim in their noodles and rice selections too. For sweet cravings they dish out exotic desserts. Oriental fresh fruit platter, caramelized banana toffee, chilled milk pudding with exotic fruits, vanilla ice cream with lychee, date pancake and mango pudding with green tea sorbet, are temptingly tasty. Under twenty-five hundred you can dine at Jade lavishly. The restaurant is exotic and popular so you won’t be disappointed.
- You must always book. You would not think it but Jade’s regulars often pack the restaurant out
- Regulars like the five spice fish served with aromatic garlic rice
