Jai Ho expands

6th December 2024

JM Socials, which has 10 venues in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, is to open a new venue that mixes “Indian gastronomy with barbecue”.

The company, co founded by Michael Raphel and Jay Rahman, is launching Jai Ho in the Gloucestershire village of Bishop’s Cleeve in 2025.

Jai Ho will offer a menu centred on Indian barbecue small plates, alongside a selection of other dishes.

JM Socials’ other restaurants include Cheltenham venues Prithvi, Circo, and The Mayflower, as well as Dosa Darlings in Oxford.

Rahman said: “Our goal with this new venture is to build on the success of Prithvi and our other Cheltenham restaurants by offering a relaxed neighbourhood dining experience, with high-quality food and a welcoming atmosphere. While the concept will differ from our existing restaurant offerings, we are excited to bring that same creativity and care to Bishop’s Cleeve.”
