If you are fond of Traditional food and living in Delhi- then Jakoi restaurant- situated at Assam Bhawan- Chanakyapuri may be your great escape. It is actually another outlet of the famous Paradise restaurant chain in Assam- owned by the same family.
Jakoi is farely new in Delhi and it has some benchmark dishes served in the Assamese traditional way and plates.
The whole idea is to make you homesick and give you the feeling that you are having a delicious Assamese meal. But nevertheless, you might actually wonder- if it is up to the hype. I have been to the Paradise restaurant at Guwahati and it has good Assamese cuisine. But seriously, Jakoi fails to live up to that expectation- if you are a real Assamese Food Fan, you would agree with me.
The Parampara Assamese Thaali comes with lots of sabzis and items like the duck meat, fish, chicken and also the rare khar.
But it has more of Bengali flavors than that of Assamese ones. Besides, the prices are quoted really ambitiously. I mean Rs. 400 for a Parampara Thaali? The owners have gone over-confident here. I hope, they will introduce better food and more practical pricing in future.
