A longstanding address for sumptuous Chinese and Cantonese cuisine in the capital, Jade at The Claridges New Delhi brings together culinary tradition, understated elegance and a considered approach to dining. An integral part of the hotel’s distinctive culinary offering, the restaurant is known for its sophisticated interpretation of Chinese flavours and an atmosphere that makes every meal feel like an occasion.
This October, Jade introduces Truffle & Tea Affairs, a limited-period culinary experience that brings together the earthy richness of truffles and morel mushrooms with the nuanced character of premium Chinese teas. Available from 21 October to 1 November 2026, the menu offers a distinctive exploration of flavour, provenance and craft, making it a dining experience worth seeking out in the capital.
The tea pairing introduces another layer to this sensory experience. Chinese teas, much like truffles, carry a strong sense of place, with their character influenced by soil, climate, altitude, harvest and traditional processing techniques. Their range of floral, vegetal, roasted, nutty and subtly astringent notes offers an intriguing counterpoint to the richness and umami of truffle-led dishes.
The menu brings this interplay to life through refined creations such as the Truffle, Morel & Water Chestnut Silk Soup, paired with Silver Needle White Tea; the Golden Truffle Crystal Dumpling, complemented by Aged Pu-Erh; and the Truffle-Infused Har Gow & Lobster Siu Mai Duo, paired with Jasmine Pearl Tea. The Crispy Lotus Stem with Truffle Honey Glaze is accompanied by Milk Oolong Tea, while the Wok-Tossed Truffle-Infused Morel Mushrooms with Asparagus & Pine Nuts is paired with Tie Guan Yin Milk Oolong. The experience culminates with the White Chocolate & Truffle Snow with Lychee Pearl, paired with Silver Needle White Tea, bringing the menu to a delicate and aromatic close.
The experience extends beyond the plate to Jade’s elegant interiors, where warm tones, considered detailing and an intimate atmosphere create a setting that complements the restaurant’s refined culinary approach. Within the timeless surroundings of The Claridges New Delhi, the understated elegance of the space allows the menu’s craftsmanship and nuanced flavours to take centre stage. Together, the cuisine and setting make Truffle & Tea Affairs more than a seasonal menu, it is an invitation to experience one of the capital’s established dining addresses through a distinctive, limited-period culinary offering.
This is what makes Truffle & Tea Affairs an experience worth lingering over. It encourages diners to approach luxury ingredients through a different lens. At Jade, this philosophy unfolds through an elegant Chinese dining experience.
