Anirudh and Sushruta will open the evening, setting the tone and introducing the flavours and ideas that shape the experience. Between each course, a poet or spoken word artist will perform a short 5–7 minute piece, guiding guests towards the next dish. These interludes complement the menu and extend the experience beyond taste and smell, engaging the senses of sight and sound and offering new perspectives on each course.

Sushef is a home chef who loves to explore culture through food. Drawing inspiration from South Asian traditions and global influences, she creates dishes that tell stories, spark conversation, and bring people together around a shared table. For her, cooking is not just about flavour, but about memory, identity, and connection.
