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.

Presented by Taste & Tales Experience x Haarir Khobor, this is a one-night-only dinner at a private dining table in Kolkata.

Over five courses, you will travel with Goddess Durga through her five-day homecoming from Mahalaya’s first call to Dashami’s farewell through traditional dishes that have been passed down for four generations, served with their cultural and ritual context.

This is not a buffet. It is a shared table where strangers become friends over food, conversation, and the sounds and scents of Pujo.

Non-veg menu by default; vegetarian options available only if requested at the time of booking.

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