Jashn Courtyard / Whiskey Library earns glowing praise for its warm ambience, beautiful courtyard and contemporary fit out. Reviewers love the friendly, attentive service, quick turnaround and generous servings that offer great value. Its popular for groups, family celebrations and business lunches, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options and a drinks list people describe as extensive and well curated.
Menu highlights mentioned again and again include Butter Chicken, Malai kofta with sultanas, Paneer khatta pyaaz, kale chaat, saag burrata, bhindi, dal makhani, lamb cutlets, naans including pocket garlic naan, rice and poppadoms. Sweet tooths rave about the ras malai tart and rice pudding, and many call out the Jashn fried chicken and the fireball chicken tikka masala with a smoky whisky twist. The bar is a star in its own right, with amazing cocktails like the Peri Peri Tequila and Apple Crumble, plus a great Whiskey Library selection. Highly recommended.
