Indian Restaurant Mayfair Celebrate Diwali at Kanishka

On Sunday 12th November, the sound of firecrackers announces the celebration of India’s brightest festival, Diwali. Kanishka, the Mayfair fine dining Indian restaurant by acclaimed chef, Atul Kochhar, is celebrating the festivities with a six-course tasting menu that showcases the diverse and distinct flavours of India’s various regions.

Available from 6th – 12th November, and inspired by Atul Kochhar’s love of traditional Indian cuisine, the tasting menu fuses traditional Indian flavours with the finest British ingredients. Priced at £95 per person, guests will delight in a selection of dishes such as Atul’s chicken tikka pie with cumin mix berry cumin; Orkney scallop with caramelised William and lime gel; coconut marinated stone bass crab with Devon crab croquette; and Anjeer paneer tikka – fig stuffed cottage paneer tikka with cavolo nero and korma. Dessert is no afterthought with the Mithai platter featuring a selection of the restaurant’s most popular sweet dishes including rasmalai with saffron poached pear; dark chocolate mousse and almond fudge.

The tasting menu is priced at £95 per person, with an optional £75 per person wine flight which includes a crisp glass of Atul Kochhar’s Blanc de Blanc NV. Dining from the restaurant’s new a la carte menu is also available throughout the week. For a more intimate affair, the restaurant’s three private dining rooms, the Maddox, Oxford and Regent rooms which seat 8, 14 and 18 respectively, are also available to be booked, providing the perfect setting for Diwali celebrations with friends and family.
