Amrita Arora and her husband, Shakeel Ladak, recently opened their first restaurant in Goa, named Jolene. Located above the beautiful Anjuna Beach, the restaurant captures the essence of Goa with its stunning seaside views and relaxed vibes. This new venture marks Amrita’s entry into the food and hospitality industry.
The restaurant reflects a boho-chic aesthetic, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere. It features high ceilings, indoor palm trees, and rustic decor, complemented by sand-colored curtains and comfortable seating. A glass wall provides an uninterrupted view of the Arabian Sea, creating a serene setting perfect for enjoying sunsets and unwinding.
Jolene’s menu has been carefully crafted by renowned Chef Suvir Saran, blending simple comfort food with global flavors. Some standout dishes include the TB&C, a unique mix of tomatoes, burrata, and cornflakes, and “Forbidden Yet Yours,” a healthier twist on fried rice made with black rice. Amrita’s personal favorite, the Spicy Misal Ramen, highlights her love for bold and creative flavors.
The restaurant pays tribute to strong women through its theme and menu. Inspired by Dolly Parton’s song “Jolene,” the name symbolizes resilience and vulnerability. Amrita shared that the song is one of her favorites and resonates deeply with the restaurant’s mission of celebrating strength in all forms.
With its unique combination of breathtaking views, thoughtfully curated dishes, and empowering message, Jolene has quickly become a must-visit spot in Goa. It’s a perfect destination for food lovers, sunset seekers, and those looking to relax by the beach.
