After Malaika Arora, sister Amrita Arora Ladak launches beach-side restaurant in Goa; take a peek inside

The project, developed in collaboration with hospitality veterans Gaurav Batra and Ankit Tayal and Michelin-starred chef Suvir Saran, aims to bring an international dining experience to Goa.

“Jolene by the Sea was a pandemic baby, brought to life through our love for travelling,” Amrita told AD. The restaurant’s concept draws from their experiences in coastal European towns, offering a setting that feels both familiar and exclusive.

Take a peek inside Amrita Arora’s new restaurant

Designed by Aayushi Malik, the space is set apart by its 100-foot-long bamboo facade, which provides privacy while ensuring an uninterrupted 180-degree ocean view. The interiors use locally sourced materials, including natural limestone, oakwood accents, raffia, and travertine-clad pillars, balancing raw textures with refined details.

The lighting has been a focal point, with wooden bead chandeliers and branch pendant lights creating a distinct atmosphere after sunset.

“It is the quality of light that makes Jolene even more stunning,” Amrita told AD, highlighting how the natural light enhances the space during the day while the evening lighting adds warmth without overpowering the coastal ambiance.

At Jolene by the Sea, the menu is designed by Chef Suvir Saran, who has brought in global elements while incorporating local Goan flavours. The restaurant positions itself as a high-end yet approachable dining spot, catering to tourists and residents looking for a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere.

With its oceanfront setting, travel-inspired interiors, and carefully curated menu, Jolene by the Sea is a notable addition to Goa’s dining landscape. Time shall tell if it truly emerges to be one.
