Jadu Cafe and Wine Bar — Restaurant in Boston

South Asian/Middle Eastern-inspired cafe that brings a refreshing concept to JP, but its execution feels like a work in progress.

Came here for breakfast and lunch this past week. On my first visit for breakfast, I opted for the pistachio butter toast and Breakfast Sammy. The toast had a promising start — the nutty richness of pistachio butter paired beautifully with fragrant rose petals. Yet, the tartness tipped the balance and made it difficult to finish without the grounding comfort of their turmeric latte. As for the Breakfast Sammy, it was a solid option. The focaccia was fine, though not my personal favorite for a sandwich base, and I found myself wishing for a more generous slather of Calabrian chili butter to elevate the flavors.

I then returned with a friend for lunch and tried the Turkish-style eggs and Chicken & Rice. The Turkish eggs was essentially a deconstructed breakfast pita — jammy eggs, garlic labneh, and Aleppo pepper oil delivered on comfort but lacked a distinctive twist. Meanwhile, the Chicken & Rice offered a satisfying salad-rice bowl hybrid. The peanut ginger marinade added a nice twist, yet the dish was oddly similar to something I tasted from DIG.

Overall, the cafe undoubtedly has potential, with thoughtful touches and a welcoming vibe. Not sure if I would return just for the food, but definitely a great spot to casually hang out...

Decor was lovely. Cafe was buzzing with activity. Unfortunately, we would not recommend the breakfast sandwich which consisted of delicious/thick but un-toasted bread, a very healthy dose of aioli, a few strands of arugula, a piece of cheese that was not warmed or melted, and some bits of shredded (jammy?) egg that disappeared into the aioli and bread. I would be surprised if there was a full egg spread across the two halves of thick bread. The aioli was definitely the star of the sandwich as there was a lot of it. Aioli had a bit of a kick to it which was nice. Drinks (chai latte and cortado - both with oat milk) were average. No latte art on the cortado. Green glasses for water were very cute. Not likely to go back. If you’re looking for a breakfast sandwich that truly shines, try Fornax in Roslindale and ask for the ciabatta. Also partial to the breakfast sandwich (and cafe beverages) at...
