| Diwali |
Diwali, the festival of lights is on 13th November this year. Here at chai lounge we had an early celebration. Planning the menu is great fun and each time I have so many things that I want to make but cooking in a domestic kitchen does not allow it. We wont be doing another supperclub this year, but will see you in the new year. Please email us on info(at)chai-lounge(dot)co(dot)uk if you 'd like to added to the mailing list. Thanks to all the lovely guests that visited us and hopefully see you in the new year.
Happy Diwali to all celebrating and wishing all Gujarati's Sal Mubarak (happy new year)
