The expansion of the brand to Jharokha by Indus on the 2nd floor of the Erawan Bangkok building has made it even more accessible to fans.
 
 

JHAROKHA is located on the 2nd floor of Erawan Bangkok. When you walk in, the first thing you will see is the cocktail bar area. The owner of this room told us that the decorations were inspired by polo, the owner’s favorite sport. The dining tables are inside, along with a semi-open kitchen.

 

The owner said that the concept and inspiration – Food and Menu Design
Chao was inspired by the atmosphere and atmosphere of Rajasthan Polo Club in India, combined with the Firepit cooking concept, including the cooking culture of the people of the Rajs who, after going out to do hunting activities, would
bring the meat obtained from hunting to cook using art and skills in every branch to get a delicious dish, including plating, serving, which is a presentation of art and culture that is outstanding, captivating, and captivating.
We welcome you to Jharokha, whether you are looking for a restaurant or a place to organize an important party, we have food. Each dish has an interesting story waiting for you to discover.

 

Of course, this place is a bit different from Indus in terms of atmosphere and more modern food style (Jharokha) in the atmosphere of Polo Club in Rajasthan, which is luxurious with mahogany and leather, including peacock paintings that represent kings and power in India. The word Jharokha means window, which is intended to communicate to the diners that this place is like a window to the world of Indian food. The concept of the food presents the innovation of Kopa, a charcoal oven used to bake food, which is one of the techniques used in conjunction with the traditional technique, Tandoor. Importantly, this place mainly uses local ingredients, such as organic chicken from Khlong Pai in Korat, Surat Thani crab meat, and vegetables and fruits grown in our country. Chef Sanket Hoskote, who previously worked with Carnival by Tresind, a modern Indian restaurant in Dubai, and Alchemy in Bangalore, India, has worked with legendary chef Hari Nayak, making this restaurant the best modern Indian restaurant in the country.

And because this restaurant is located on the corner of the building, the location of the restaurant is right in front, so JHAROKHA uses large glass panels around the dining room, so that when looking out, everyone can see the view of Ratchaprasong Intersection, which is very beautiful for both lunch and dinner.

(Stuffed Morel, King Oyster Mushrooms, Yakhni)

Stuffed Morel Mushrooms with Middle Eastern Sauce

MURGH MAKHANI
(Slow Cooked Goat in a Claypot, Garlic, Mustard Oil) Chicken Curry

Let’s move on to Indian curry menus. Chicken curry is an Indian curry with a strong flavor that really brings out the aroma of spices. Anyone who likes strong aromas of spices must try this menu. The unique appearance of Tikka Masala Chicken Curry is the red curry sauce, so it can be called Red Chicken Curry. With a variety of spices, it has a spicy flavor. It is popularly eaten with Indian rice or naan bread.

CHAMPARAN GOSHT
(Slow Cooked Goat in a Claypot, Garlic, Mustard Oil)

MEWAR MALAI BIRYANI
(Aromatic Saffron Rice, Cream, Biryani Masala)

 

Now we come to another Indian food that we are familiar with, naan bread, a white flatbread that looks similar to roti in our country, but the taste is different because naan bread is a little thicker and chewier than roti and is cooked by grilling on a flat pan, which gives it a slightly burnt aroma. The way to eat it is to tear it with your hands and dip it in various curries. If we were to compare it to Thai food, it would be khao sow eaten with hot curry. The naan bread comes in many flavors, such as original, garlic, cheese, onion, and many more. We can choose it to go with various Indian curries. Personally, I like naan and give it 100 points for the naan here.

Let’s continue with dessert.

KESAR FALOODA
(Rose Flavoured Indian Ice Cream, Saffron Milk, Basil Seeds, Glass Noodles)

GHEWAR
