Gather for a Spectacular Feast Designed by Chefs Sujan Sakar, Vijay Kumar, and Jassimran Singh

We're bringing together three of the culinary world's brightest stars for a feast celebrating India's most beloved holiday—Diwali, the festival of lights. Michelin-starred and James Beard Award–recognized chefs Sujan Sarkar (Indienne), Vijay Kumar (Semma), and Jassimran Singh (Crown Shy) will be collaborating on an exclusive multi-course menu that reflects the rich gastronomic traditions of India and the joyful spirit of Diwali. Join us for an evening of exceptional cuisine, warm community, and festive celebration.


Wine pairings will be designed by Tia Polite, head sommelier at Chicago’s celebrated Indienne. Polite has become known for her innovative approach to wine curation and her dedication to sustainability and cultural appreciation through viticulture.

Wine generously donated by Fine Vines, Corso Selections, and Good Earth Wines
