The Parsi New Year is a time for families to come together, sharing not just meals but also stories, laughter, and blessings for the year ahead.

The Parsi pop-up will feature an array of iconic dishes, including the mouthwatering Sali Boti, a flavorful blend of tender meat and crispy potato straws; Paneer Chutney Cheeseballs; Bhindo Papeta, a dish made with lady fingers and crisp potatoes for vegetarians; the comforting Sali Marghi, a delightful mix of chicken and potato shreds; the delectable Patra Ni Machi, a flaky fish wrapped in banana leaves; the signature hearty Dhansak, a lentil-based stew bursting with flavor; and the sweet indulgence of Lagan nu Custard, a quintessential Parsi dessert.
