The experience, priced at $85 per person, includes a prix-fixe menu paired with a thoughtfully selected wine for each course. Diners choose from one of three themed menus:

• Indian Spices & Wine Aromas features chicken-focused dishes elevated by expressive whites, rosés, and light-bodied reds.
• Flavors of the Sea & Indian Spices highlights fresh seafood enhanced by crisp, clean wine pairings.
  India on Your Plate, Joy in Your Glass offers rich lamb entrées matched with bold, full-bodied reds.

Each dish is designed to balance the intensity of Indian spices with the nuance of each wine selection. Guests also receive 15% off select bottles from Rishtedar’s exclusive wine list curated for the evening.

Adding to the evening’s charm is a live Mehndi artist offering complimentary henna designs. The ambiance is immersive, with vibrant décor, flickering candles, and a welcoming staff dressed in traditional attire. Every element of the experience feels intentional and rooted in Indian culture.
