Jade, a Symphony of Culinary Elegance and Artistic Mastery in Every Detail
Jade, previously was known for its intimate and cosy ambiance, a haven where diners embraced the warmth of dim lighting and quaint surroundings. However, as we continue to evolve, weve expanded our horizons and introduced a refreshing transformation to our culinary haven. The new space is grander, infused with ample natural light, more seating and offering a brighter and more expansive atmosphere. This marks a significant enhancement, introducing a great feature – a new element that adds a fresh dimension to the dining experience. Notably, the addition of a glass roof, at the designated area at Jade transforms into an enchanting all-season dining haven. For instance, as the winter blankets the surroundings, patrons can bask in the warmth of the sun, creating a bright and warm atmosphere. And the rains and play of raindrops on the glass roof will add a poetic touch, transforming the space into an intimate spot for diners. The versatility of this special dining area at Jade ensures a memorable experience, seamlessly blending the joys of nature with culinary delights, regardless of the weather outside.

Jades atmosphere is a symphony of colours reminiscent of old Chinese towns, with brass accents and malachite pillars lending an air of wealth. The logo, which features statues of jade tigers and an elusive dragon, creates the mood for a magical dining experience. Ankon Mitra, a renowned artist from Delhi, created these exquisitely dancing dragons on the restaurant ceiling.

With an expanded capacity of 90 covers and three private dining rooms, Jade becomes an exclusive canvas. First Private Dining Room, where an ancient Jade Emperors painting takes centre stage, accompanied by Ankon Mitra’s brass Fu Dogs. These guardian figures, both male and female, hold energy-filled spheres in their paws, creating a sense of protection and vibrancy throughout the restaurant. On the other hand, the third Private Dining Room unveils the captivating “Nymph of The Luo River,” an ancient masterpiece that acts as a poetic thread, weaving through the artistic treasures of the restaurant. Together, these spaces seamlessly merge, forming an expansive private party area.

Immerse yourself in the refined details that define Jades interiors – custom hand-painted gold-leafed wallpapers, sophisticated brass handles, and oriental jalis adorning doors and mirrors. In every nook and corner of Jade, each meticulous detail serves as a brushstroke, contributing to a narrative that transforms the dining experience into a true work of art.

Hotel Manager, Himanshu Kumar shares, “At Jade, we are thrilled to embark on a journey that seamlessly blends the rich tapestry of Chinese culture with a commitment to impeccable service. Much like the Year of the Dragon signifies transformation and renewal, our service is finely detailed to offer a transformative dining experience. The essence of Chinas cultural heritage is interwoven into every aspect, creating an atmosphere where guests not only savour delectable dishes but also indulge in a service that reflects the timeless traditions and hospitality that defines our hotel. Welcome to a culinary haven where tradition meets transformation, and the art of service is as exquisite as the flavours we serve.”

General Manager, Hemendra Singh Kushalgarhsays, “The Claridges New Delhi, takes immense pride in unveiling the magnificent transformation of our cherished Chinese Cantonese haven, Jade. This moment marks the commencement of a culinary resurrection, where Jade, with its storied legacy of delighting our esteemed guests, re-emerges in a breath-taking new incarnation.
