Coined the “hottest ticket in London” by Bloomberg, Asma Khan’s Biryani Supper Club will be hosted at her Soho restaurant, seen recently on her Netflix Chefs Table episode.
The biryani will be served in the main dining room in the traditional ‘dawaat’ style, where all guests are served simultaneously.
The traditional Calcutta style Dum Biryani is Asma’s “most treasured” recipe. The dish has been perfected and handed down to her by family cooks. For generations, the biryani has been the centrepiece of celebratory meals and family gatherings.
“The first time I witnessed the ‘unveiling’ of the biryani, it was the night of my sister’s wedding. I was absolutely mesmerised – the floral saffron-infused aromas that rose from the pot as the rice was gently mixed is something I will remember forever.”
Event dates: 9th & 30th November and 7th & 21st December.
