JJ Jauhar

JJ Jauhar brings his innovative ideas and passion for healthy eating to the Los Angeles food scene, creating a unique fusion of health-conscious dining and cultural authenticity. Growing up in the New York restaurant scene, where his family owned three restaurants, JJ developed a deep love for food and an appreciation for the art of dining. His experiences span from working in upscale restaurants to the vibrant nightlife of New York City and Washington, DC, where he learned the importance of taste, presentation, and creating the perfect dining atmosphere.

His journey took him to India, where he immersed himself in the country’s rich culinary traditions. This experience, combined with his international background and knowledge of food trends, inspired him to bring healthy, tasty, and organic meals to the forefront of Los Angeles’ food culture. JJ’s focus is on creating food that not only satisfies the palate but also heals the body and soul.

Ayur Ras (The Juice of Life) was born out of his vision to provide food that aligns with the holistic principles of Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old science of life. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of using food to achieve balance and wellness. With JJ’s flair for presentation and his creative take on Indian cuisine, Ayur Ras offers dishes that are not only nutritious but also mouthwatering and exotic. Each dish is carefully crafted, blending unique aromas and cooking styles, creating a sensory experience that is truly beyond anything most have ever had before.

JJ believes that the healthy dining experience must involve the person as a “whole” – the body, the mind, and the spirit. This philosophy is woven into every aspect of Ayur Ras, from the ingredients to the presentation, ensuring that every meal is a complete and healing experience. Whether catering an event or delivering meals, Ayur Ras offers a dining experience that is deeply transformative and profoundly satisfying.
