Daryaganj Celebrates Diwali with A Limited-Edition Tasting Menu

This Diwali, Daryaganj by the Inventors of Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani invites guests to celebrate the Festival of Lights with flavour, heritage, and warmth. The special Diwali Tasting Menu, available from 17 to 31 October 2025, reimagines timeless recipes through a festive lens for a dining experience that honours tradition while embracing modern culinary artistry.

Guests can choose between two thoughtfully curated multi-course menus: the Non-Vegetarian Tasting Menu (THB 1,497++) and the Vegetarian Tasting Menu (THB 1,197++), both beginning with a comforting Curried Lentil Soup with Pickled Carrots. Starters set the tone with inventive pairings such as Chicken Tikka and Tangerine Chaat or Kurkuri Bhindi and Avocado Chaat, followed by refined plates like Tava Grilled Scallops with Saffron Dum Jus or Wild Mushroom Kofta with Truffle Shavings.

The main courses showcase Daryaganj’s heritage through iconic dishes and modern interpretations, featuring Curried Lamb Ravioli and Butter Paneer Ravioli, along with The Original Dal Makhani 1947, slow-cooked black lentils enriched with butter. Accompaniments such as Yakhnī Pulao, Guchhi Pulao, Olive and Tomato Missi Roti, and Burani Raita complete the experience, before concluding on a sweet note with Carrot Halwa and Blueberry Crémeux.

Founded by childhood friends Amit Bagga and Raghav Jaggi, the grandson of Kundan Lal Jaggi, inventor of Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani, Daryaganj brings a legacy of post-partition Indian cuisine to Bangkok. The Diwali Tasting Menu reflects that heritage, remaining timeless yet relevant, familiar yet inventive, and celebrating the art of gathering around food that tells a story.

Available from 17 to 31 October 2025, the Diwali Tasting Menu invites guests to discover the legacy of Daryaganj through dishes that honour tradition and reimagine it for today.
