Yi Jing at ITC Narmada Introduces Exquisite Jain Menu Celebrating Pan-Asian Culinary Purity

Ahmedabad, 30th June, 2025: ITC Narmada, a luxury collection hotel in Ahmedabad, is proud to announce the launch of a specially curated Jain food menu for its patrons at Yi Jing – the hotel’s acclaimed pan-Asian restaurant. This unique and thoughtful initiative by ITC Narmada is specially designed to blend the refined elegance of Asian gastronomy with Jain dietary philosophy.

The idea behind the initiative is to extend Yi Jing’s celebrated culinary repertoire to our patrons who prefer their cuisine without onion, garlic or other root vegetables and yet give them an exclusive dining experience incorporating specific dietary preferences.

Crafted with precision by ITC’s master chefs, the Jain menu at Yi Jing spans an exquisite array of dim sums, appetisers, soups, mains, noodles, and rice dishes. Diners can indulge in a delicate selection of dim sums such as Spinach & Cheese Dumplings with Coloured Peppers, Hot & Sweet Cottage Cheese & Corn Dumplings, and Steamed Plant Protein Bao with Cashews. Each dish offers layers of flavours and texture, without compromising dietary sensibilities.

Speaking about the initiative, Keenan McKenzie, Cluster General Manager, ITC Narmada, said, “Our thoughtful extension of Yi Jing’s celebrated cuisine to our Jain patrons by curating an exclusive menu with an array of options, reflects ITC Narmada’s commitment to inclusive luxury dining. This launch is also in ITC Narmada’s philosophy of ‘Responsible Luxury’, where culinary innovation meets cultural reverence, and where every guest’s dietary choices are honoured and respected with the utmost sophistication.”

The menu also features a selection of appetisers with innovative dishes like Black Pepper Crusted Tofu with Lettuce, and Crackling Chestnuts tossed in five spice salt and toasted sesame. For those seeking comfort in a warm bowl, the Sweet Corn & Asparagus Soup will bring you simplistic yet flavourful elegance.

Featuring delights such as Clay Pot Vegetables & Bamboo Shoots in Mala Sauce, Chengdu Style Hot Pot Greens, and the ever-popular Gung Bao Tofu infused with Chinkiang vinegar and dry chili, the main course is simply indulgent. Complementing these are the kitchen’s signature rice and noodle creations — from Hot Bean Wok Fried Noodles with Microgreens to Sichuan Style Spicy Vegetable Fried Rice.

Guests are encouraged to inform their service associate of any allergies or dietary restrictions, ensuring an experience that is both personalised and safe.

Yi Jing’s specially curated menu is now available for dinner all days a week and for lunch from Friday to Sunday, inviting Ahmedabad’s discerning diners to savour the finest of pan-Asian flavours through the lens of Jain culinary traditions.
