Diwali at Daughter in Law

Overview

Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, is a hugely significant cultural holiday for Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs — celebrating the triumph of good over evil. To mark the occasion, Daughter in Law is hosting four days of eating and partying till you drop (or fall into a glorious food coma) from Thursday, October 20 to Sunday, October 23.

Chef Jessi Singh is injecting the Diwali feast with some of Daughter in Law's signature dishes alongside a few new creations inspired by India's thriving street food scene. He's known as being a bit of a rule-breaker when it comes to Indian cuisine, so do expect the unexpected.

Lunch and dinner set menus from Thursday to Saturday are both priced at $65 per person, while Sunday menu is going for $75 per person (which includes a glass of bubbles). Expect the likes of curried chicken sandwiches, curry croquettes, chicken tikka, 'unauthentic' butter chicken and plenty of sweets.

"For Indian people everywhere, Diwali is a festival full of sweet childhood memories, a sky full of fireworks, a mouth full of sweets, a house full of diyas and a heart full of joy. After what has been a difficult few years, we hope you can join us to celebrate this significant Indian celebration of good over evil, with delicious curry, cocktails, and sweets!" Singh says.
