"A celebration of Indian cuisine. Jamavar is sought by food connoisseurs as the Jewel of Indian cuisine. Master Chef Debdash Balaga introduces to Doha a fine dining menu showcasing varied flavours of the Royal kitchens of the North along with succulent options from the rivers and shores of the South. After getting astronomical success in Indian subcontinent, Jamavar opened its doors in London in 2017 and received a Michelin star within the first year of its opening. Jamavar Doha is the latest addition to the critically acclaimed brand which resonates with culture of India through its royal recipes and cuisine."
Jamavar Doha, the youngest sibling of the Jamavar family of restaurants, takes its home in the Sheraton Grand hotel on Doha’s waterside corniche since 2021.
Drawing upon the stylings of Edwin Lutyens, the noted architect of Delhi’s Viceroy’s house, the spaces at Jamavar Doha are framed with warm, limed grey oak panelling, offset with chalk white textured plaster with mirror and brass detailing. The elegant restaurant is made up of two beautiful dining rooms, and an exquisite apothecary bar with a plaster fronted bar counter embellished with patterns of traditional Indian print blocks.
Taking its name from the intricate 16th century lace shawls of Kashmir, Jamavar is an original fine dining concept, created by the founding family of The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts in India.
In 2001, Dinesh Nair conceptualised the very first Jamavar restaurant at The Leela Palace Bengalaru, where it won considerable critical and international acclaim; among other accolades, it was named among the World’s Top 10 Power Dining Spots by Forbes USA. Over the following years, further restaurants opened in five more cities across India.
In 2016, Jamavar’s first international outpost in London was opened by LSL Capital, a hospitality venture focused on creating bespoke culinary experiences by father-daughter duo Dinesh and Samyukta Nair, on Mayfair’s iconic Mount Street.
Today, Jamavar London is deeply embedded in the culinary fabric of the city and is known as one of the best Indian restaurants in the capital, earning a star in The Great Britain and Ireland Michelin Guide 2022. Thereafter, Jamavar Doha opened its doors in 2021, within the five-star Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel, in association with Katara Hospitality.
The Nairs have spent decades refining the art of luxury hospitality, and Jamavar is the culmination of those efforts: an international collection of fine dining Indian restaurants, renowned for its decadent and luxurious pan-Indian cuisine.
The architecture is punctuated with polished Calacatta Oro marble pilasters and architraves, with the bar revealed through polished brass fretwork screens based on the intricate designs of Jamavar Shawls.
The rooms are elegantly complemented with sage green and tan leather upholstery in the first dining room and navy buttoned leather upholstery in the second dining room set behind maple marquetry Chaturanga games tables.
Warmly lighting the spaces are four Lutyen’s inspired chandeliers, and polished brass table lamps with pleated colonial style shades, setting the ambiance for Doha’s most exquisite Indian gastronomic experience.
