Jashan, the Indian restaurant in Plano, Texas, will host Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar for a three-day collaboration running October 3–5, with ticketed dinners priced from $140++ to $225++ per guest.

Rather than repeating one menu across the run, Kochhar and Jashan's team will present three distinct dining experiences over three nights, each built around a different perspective on Indian cuisine, technique and hospitality.

Kochhar's credentials anchor the booking. In 2001, Tamarind in London earned a Michelin star, making him the first Indian chef ever to receive one. He went on to open Benares in London, which earned its own Michelin star in 2007. Across his career, he has pushed Indian cooking into the international fine-dining conversation, emphasizing its complexity and regional diversity rather than sanding it down for broader audiences.

That positioning is what drew Jashan's chef, founder and president, Prasanna Singaraju, to Kochhar long before he opened his own restaurant. Singaraju cites chefs like Kochhar as proof of what Indian cuisine could achieve on the world stage — treated with seriousness, precision and reverence rather than as something that needed explaining. The October collaboration closes that loop, putting mentor-in-spirit and operator in the same kitchen.

The weekend opens Saturday, October 3, with Chef Atul Kochhar at Jashan. Kochhar takes over the restaurant's tasting-menu format for a single evening, serving an exclusive seven-course menu that replaces Jashan's signature Jashan 101 and Taste of India tasting menus for the night. The experience is priced at $140++ per guest.

Sunday, October 4, scales up the format. 10 Hands — The Sunday Supper puts five chefs in one kitchen: Atul Kochhar, Akshraj Jodha, Ashish Bhasin, Ramesh Thangaraj and Prasanna Singaraju. The five, spanning different generations and paths through Indian cuisine, will build a menu designed for sharing around the table. The supper is capped at 60 guests, with dishes meant to be passed and discussed — a deliberate nod to the communal structure of Indian hospitality. Tickets run $160++ per guest.

The collaboration closes Monday, October 5, with Dil Se — Chef Atul Kochhar × Chef Prasanna, the smallest and most expensive ticket of the weekend. Limited to 20 guests and a single seating, the dinner pairs Kochhar and Singaraju on a collaborative menu. The name, meaning "from the heart," reflects both Singaraju's admiration for a chef who shaped his ambitions and Jashan's stated belief that food is inseparable from memory, culture and connection. Tickets are $225++ per guest.

Reservations are open at jashan.us/atul-kochhar. For a single-unit independent operator, the weekend functions as both a revenue event and a positioning play: guest-chef collaborations at premium price points let Jashan benchmark its tasting-menu business against internationally recognized talent while it still controls the calendar.
