Day and night, Jadu delights
The green salad with avocado at Jadu.
Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff
What to eat:
For breakfast, thick slices of sourdough toast with butter and jam, house-made pistachio butter, or avocado and Indian spices. Oatmeal goes savory with miso and tamari, topped with an egg and chile crisp; there's labneh parfait with strawberries, hemp seed granola, and pomegranate molasses. At lunch, bright, nourishing mezze platters; peanut-ginger chicken and veggies with black rice; and brothy, garlicky white beans with kale plus sourdough toast for dunking. In the evening, green olives are served in glamorous glass dishes for snacking on with a glass of wine. There's a green salad piled high, with avocado and lemon vinaigrette. Roasted cauliflower is served over whipped tahini with dates and pepitas, sprinkled with fresh torn herbs. Tuna tartare is strewn with capers and pistachios; mortadella and fresh mozzarella are sandwiched on focaccia with arugula and pistachio pesto.

What to drink:
Daytime brings tea and coffee drinks, including seasonal specials like the orange blossom honey latte. There's masala chai and matcha, hojicha, and turmeric lattes. The iced yuzu matcha sparkler is perfect on a hot summer afternoon. Then the clock strikes wine o'clock: All selections are available by the glass or the bottle, and our server lets us taste a few before we decide. Croatian Riesling, Slovenian furmint, and Balkan orange wine are all wonderful, but in the end, it's hard to resist a fizzy pink Lambrusco. You'll also find sherry, vermouth, amaro, beer, cider, and zero-proof drinks.

The takeaway:
If you're looking for that just-right third space in Jamaica Plain, Jadu is it. By day, new-gen power meetings take place over laptops and parent groups gather with babies. At night, it's tete-a-tetes at tables and run-ins with neighbors, and olives and salads, then back home by bike. There's also a 'secret' patio around the block, open on weekends when the weather's nice. Wine bar reservations highly recommended.
767 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 617-221-8193,
. Coffee shop Thu-Tue 8 a.m.-3 p.m., breakfast and lunch $6.50-$17, coffee, tea, and more $3.75-$6.50. Wine bar Fri-Sun 5-10 p.m., small plates $6-$20, wine $12-$21 by the glass.

Lemon Tree Hotels expands portfolio with new property in Surat, India
Indian hotel chain Lemon Tree Hotels has expanded its portfolio with the addition of a new 108-room property in Surat, Gujarat, India. Wholly owned subsidiary Carnation Hotels will manage the upcoming Lemon Tree Premier hotel, which will cater to both business and leisure travellers. Amenities at the new Lemon Tree Premier encompass a restaurant, banquet space, meeting room, swimming pool, gym, and spa. Known as the 'Diamond City of India' and the 'Silk City', Surat is a commercial centre known for its diamond cutting and polishing industry, as well as its silk and synthetic fabric production. Lemon Tree Hotels managed and franchise business CEO Vilas Pawar said: 'We are excited to expand further in the eastern part of the country. This opening will be in addition to our nine existing and 17 upcoming hotels and resorts in the state. 'The rich culture and state's pro-business policies, infrastructure development and strategic location are a great draw for business and leisure travellers.' Lemon Tree Hotels operates across various segments and features seven brands, including Aurika Hotels & Resorts, Keys Prima, and Keys Lite. The company's portfolio currently includes more than 220 hotels, with over 100 new hotels expected to launch soon. This expansion follows the company's announcement in September 2024 of a new hotel signing in Gir, Gujarat.
