With the opening of Jhakaas, Chef Sharma also announces hiring new and young talent from the hospitality sector in India for his London projects.

“Jhakaas means 'epic' or 'superb' in Hindi, which is a pretty accurate description of its epic street food-style menu. Everything tastes authentic and home-cooked, not too heavy or heavy with spice. This food is very close to my heart – I have spent many years developing dishes that my mother taught me as a child, and taken inspiration from my early career at some of the finest establishments in India,” said Dayashankar Sharma, Executive Chef, Heritage Dulwich.
