Step into the light: Diwali at Farzi Café

Head to Farzi Café this Diwali for an exclusive feast elevating traditional Indian flavours to the dizzy heights of modern gastronomy. Throwing trademark theatrical flair at the festival of lights, the modern Indian Bistro will glitter from the glow of diyas and candles as well as wall hangings backlit by strings of fairy lights. This year Diwali takes place from 4-8^th November. 

To compliment dazzling decorations, a specially designed meat free menu priced at 149AED per person will include all those much-loved Diwali dishes #Farzified Starting the celebrations in style, a Minestrone Shorba, takes the classic Italian soup and serves it with basil-stuffed khari and aromatic puffs of rosemary air. Choice of second course includes a paneer tikka and trio of peppers served sizzling from the tandoori with a sharp n’ sweet mint chutney; creamy Dahi kebab with hash brown tikki and tomato kut; and golden arancini made from rice and dal for a decidedly Indian twist. 

A selection of sharing-style main dishes includes pillowy bao buns stuffed with chilli-laced paneer; India’s comfort food answer to risotto, khichdi made with nutty pearl barley; Rajasthani classic curry, kahdi and more culinary mash ups in the form of Desi Chowmein and a veg fried rice with extra spice. 

Farzi’s Diwali feast will end on a sweet-filled high with a spectacular Mithai platter designed-to-be passed around between loved ones. Traditionally offered to the gods then shared with friends and family, the dessert will showcase all the best Diwali sweets from cardamom-rich Moti Choor Ladoo to pretty-laced Jalebi to diamond-shaped Kajukatli. 

What is Diwali?
Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists. The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika between mid-October and mid-November. One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. It is widely associated with the Goddess Lakshmi, who symbolises three virtues: wealth and prosperity, fertility and abundant crops, as well as good fortune. 

The Diwali menu at Farzi Café will be available from 4-8^th November 2021 and is priced at 149AED per person
