Collin County has become one of the best places in Texas to eat Indian food. For three years, the Michelin Guide did not seem to notice any of it. This month that changed. Jashan, an upscale Indian restaurant in Plano, landed on Michelin’s 2026 Recommended list less than a year after it opened, and it is the first Indian restaurant in Dallas-Fort Worth ever recognized by the guide. It was also the only Plano restaurant on this year’s list.
Jashan means celebration, and the restaurant feels like one. It opened on November 13, 2025, at 7401 Lone Star Drive in Legacy North, in the big space that used to be Farm + Feed. It is the first restaurant for owner Prasanna Singaraju, who spent his career in tech before deciding food was his calling. He even enrolled in cooking school to prepare for it.
Singaraju’s idea was simple to say and hard to pull off. He wanted to treat Indian cooking with the same care and ceremony that Japanese chefs bring to omakase. Before opening, he traveled to different regions of India to study their royal kitchens, and the menu is built around them, the courtly cooking of Awadh and Lucknow, the spice-forward food of Hyderabad and the Nizams, and the street food of Delhi. The kitchen sticks to traditional methods like dum, the slow-cooking technique where food is sealed in a pot, and the tandoor.
Running that kitchen are two serious chefs. Ashish Bhasin is known in India as a specialist in regional cuisines, and executive chef Ramesh Thangaraj leads the kitchen.
There are two ways to eat at Jashan. The dining room serves an à la carte menu that includes familiar favorites like butter chicken and chicken biryani, along with dishes you will rarely find in Dallas. Look for the Raan-e-Dhungar, a smoked leg of lamb, and the mango butter barramundi. Recent menus have also leaned on Lucknow, with galouti and kakori kebabs, the soft minced-meat kebabs the city is famous for, and sheermal, a lightly sweet saffron flatbread. The menu changes, so ask what is new.
The bigger experience is Dil Se, which means from the heart. It is a multicourse tasting menu served at a chef’s table facing the open kitchen, presented omakase-style, so you leave the choices to the chefs. The progression moves across India’s regions course by course, and Singaraju often tells the story behind the dishes himself. The menu changes regularly. It is a long, special-occasion meal, so plan the whole evening around it.
Jashan was drawing attention even before the guide came out. Earlier this month, Atul Kochhar, the London chef who in 2001 became the first Indian chef to earn a Michelin star, cooked three nights of dinners at Jashan. The fact that Kochhar came to Plano at all says a lot about how far this place has come in less than a year.
For Indian families in Plano and Frisco, Jashan is a dressed-up version of the food they grew up with. For everyone else, it is an introduction to the regional depth of Indian cooking that most restaurants never attempt. Either way, it is worth the drive up the Tollway.
Jashan is at 7401 Lone Star Drive, Suite B120, in Plano. Reservations are recommended, especially for the Dil Se tasting. Call 469-994-9955 or visit jashan.us.
