THE SPICE DHABA
Indian summer Night was an immersive cultural experience combining the flavors of Indian cuisine, captivating music, and mesmerizing visuals. Guests indulged in a delectable selection of dishes, including Pappadum, Pulao, and Mughal Korma, accompanied by condiments and desserts. The venue was transformed with green ferns, string lights, and candles, while artists like Hope Tala and Joy Crookes filled the air with Indo-French-Jazz-Indie melodies. Attendees explored merchandise such as The Spice Dhaba dabbas, recipe books, and Ayurvedic skin care products. Thanks for joining us for a magical evening celebrating the richness of Indian culture.
