This is your chance to explore the exquisite landscape of Indian cuisine and taste food you can’t find anywhere else! See full menu below.
Who wants to cook on a Friday night? Well, here is an excellent excuse to take Fridays off in March: The Bengali Supper Club! Each Friday you’ll get an authentic and different Bengali dinner prepared by Nibble chef Afruza Akther. With this supper club, we’ll also be providing a little cultural information with each meal, so it will be a full culinary-cultural experience!
The Bengali supper club allows customers access to fantastic food, while also supporting Afruza and Nibble Kitchen. Like the community supported restaurant (CSR) concept, this supper club will help streamline Afruza’s business: she’ll know exactly how much food to buy; gain regular customers; and be able to widen her culinary offerings—which will help her expand into a broader catering concept in the future. The CSR subscription is only $100 + taxes per person, and it covers four Fridays and includes a complete meal for each week.
Bengali cuisine is found throughout Bangladesh and eastern India, around Kolkata. It may be similar to the Indian food most of us are familiar with, but it is also very distinctive. Bengali cuisine includes myriad spices and roots, which are ground into pastes to flavor food. Bengali food includes meat, which is always Halal. Finally, Bangladeshis eat lots of fish—the country comprises a massive river delta! Take a look to the full menu.
