A private dinner at a home cook’s table. Ten seats. 5 courses. One evening.

This year, instead of waiting in hour long queues at restaurants and hotels, step into a quiet, festive home where the festival unfolds on your plate.

Event overview

A private, ten-seat dinner inside a festive Kolkata home, where Durga Puja unfolds as a five-course journey through ritual, memory, and flavour. Presented by Taste & Tales Experience x Haarir Khobor, this one-night-only intimate 10 seater at a private dining table turns strangers into companions over food, stories, scents & sound of Puja.

Highlight & experience

Step into a decorated dining room welcomed with a Pujo sherbet and a short introduction. Over five courses, travel with Goddess Durga through her five-day homecoming—from Mahalaya’s first call to Dashami’s farewell—through heirloom dishes passed down across four generations, each served with cultural and ritual context.

Activities & engagements

Mahalaya: opening course evoking the goddess’s first call through a shared cultural practice

Sashthi: small celebratory dish marking Durga’s arrival at her parents’ home

Saptami & Ashtami: traditional feast course reflecting peak Pujo celebrations at home

Navami & Dashami: quieter, reflective course capturing victory, peace, and post-battle calm

Dashami Evening: sweet course inspired by the vermilion game, carrying Bishorjon emotions and the promise of return

After dinner, the group steps out into the Pujo night to absorb the lights, music, and art of the festival.

Non-veg by default; vegetarian options available on request at booking.

This is for people who want to feel part of the festival, not just watch it.
