Celebrate The Festival Of Light With A Six-course Tasting Menu

As the sound of firecrackers announces the arrival of India’s brightest festival, Kanishka warmly invites you to celebrate Diwali in Mayfair. Acclaimed Chef Atul Kochhar has meticulously crafted a six-course tasting menu that showcases the diverse, vibrant spices and distinct culinary heritage of India’s unexplored sister states.

Inspired by Chef Atul Kochhar’s profound love for authentic Pan-Indian cuisine, this exclusive menu harmoniously fuses traditional regional flavours with the finest, sustainably sourced British ingredients. Guests will delight in exquisite creations such as our signature chicken tikka pie accompanied by a cumin and mixed berry chutney, Orkney scallop elevated with caramelised William pear and Exmoor caviar, and coconut-marinated stone bass served with a Devon crab croquette. The culinary journey concludes perfectly with a decadent Mithai platter, featuring rasmalai with saffron-poached pear, alongside a rich dark chocolate mousse and almond fudge.

his exceptional fine dining experience is priced at £95 per person, with an optional £75 expertly curated wine flight that includes a crisp glass of Atul Kochhar’s signature Blanc de Blanc NV. For a more intimate gathering, our elegantly appointed private dining rooms—the Maddox, Oxford, and Regent—accommodate 8, 14, and 18 guests respectively, providing the ultimate luxurious setting for Diwali celebrations with loved ones.
