Supper Clubs across the globe that offer a taste of home

Supper clubs began in the 1900s as lively spots for entertainment, bringing people together for cocktails, dinner, and live music. Today, they’ve evolved into a more refined and intimate dining experience, but the heart of it hasn’t changed. They’re still about bringing people together, offering a sense of belonging in a world that can sometimes feel a little lonely, especially when you’re miles away from home. The mundane charms of your hometown suddenly feel like luxuries, and nothing hits harder than the ache for home-cooked food. Sure, a bagel in New York is nice, and a crepe in Paris is fancy, but can they really match the tangy kick of achaar or the soul-soothing warmth of dal makhani? They can’t. If you’ve been dreaming of your mum’s kitchen while trying to find comfort in yet another takeout, it’s time to check out these supper clubs.

Across the globe, South Asians have been creating spaces to recreate the magic of those cherished daawats from back home. These supper clubs serve more than food—they serve nostalgia, connection, and the kind of warmth that feels like a big, hearty hug from your mum. It’s not just about eating; it’s about bonding, sharing stories, and finding a slice of home in a foreign land.

Ahead, Le Mill rounds up a few supper clubs to help you feel right at home.

The Salon, NYC (@thesalonnewyork)

The Salon, hosted by Ananya Chopra and Kritika Manchanda, is a monthly supper club that gathers creatives and like-minded souls for lively conversations, drinks, and a decadent four-course Indian feast. Drawing from their love for treasured family recipes, the food and chatter evoke a wave of nostalgia bringing back childhood memories and the cozy comfort of home. So, if you’re craving a wholesome dining experience that celebrates your cultural roots, don’t miss the chance to sign up for their next Salon.

Dost, Notting Hill; London (@dost_ldn)

In a city that can feel cold, not just in temperature but in spirit, Dost by Jigs Patel brings a warm slice of home. Patel recreates the magic of childhood dining sessions through the simplicity of food, friendship, and camaraderie. Inspired by the comfort of Indian cuisine, Dost (which means “friendship”) offers a pop-up series taking place every Thursday and Friday night. Think long tables laden with organic produce, hearty meals that feel like a time machine straight back to your noisy, love-filled family table.

Smoke and Lime, London (@smokeandlime)

For British-Indian chef Sohini Banerjee, Smoke and Lime is a love letter to her Bengali roots. What started as a way to share her love for Bengali cuisine with friends in her London apartment quickly blossomed into a buzzing supper club. Along with enjoying a hearty Bengali meal, you’ll also get a glimpse into her culture through the carefully designed decor. Her signature dishes, like Green Chilli and Kampot Pepper, Schezwan Prawn, and other mouthwatering Bengali delights, are worth every bite. If you’re in London, do yourself a favour and follow Smoke and Lime to catch her next pop-up date and venue. Believe us, your taste buds will thank you.

Mumba, Milan (@mumba.milano)

For Kiran Vajpey, Mumba became a way to recapture the warmth of her childhood in Bombay. Growing up, she savored the endless variety of flavours, textures, and dishes that made every meal delightfully exciting. However, it was through her extensive travels and immersion in diverse cultures that Vajpey truly felt the urge to connect people around the world to her South Asian heritage and the richness of global flavours. So, for anyone craving the comfort of an Indian meal that takes you back to your mum’s cooking, Mumba is the perfect stop.
