The latest iteration of Auckland’s Diwali Festival is kicking off this weekend, and we’re already counting down the days to the epic event. Although Diwali is originally a celebration of lights, it’s the Indian delicacies on offer that we always look forward to the most. And, this year, it’s inner-city modern Indian eatery Cassia’s offering that has captured our attention.
Cassia is celebrating Diwali in fitting fashion, with a special event, running alongside an extended celebration. A special 10-course menu (to continue Cassia’s 10th birthday festivities) takes centre stage, curated by award-winning chef Sid Sahrawat this Diwali. Here, you’ll experience a culinary journey like no other, crafted specially for the festival of lights.

Showcasing an array of vibrant and flavourful dishes, this bespoke menu is sure to transport your taste buds to the heart of Diwali, from Dahi Kebab to the famous chicken taco. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Cassia or new to the exquisite culinary creations, this limited-time menu features never-seen-before dishes (as well as familiar favourites) in a gastronomic experience you won’t want to miss. Running for a limited time, this special menu is on offer from the 22nd of October until the 2nd of November.
Or, enjoy the longer days in the eatery’s courtyard area and indulge in Diwali-themed street snacks and drink specials, including Cassia’s famous Cassia Cart serving up $5 Pani Puri’s between 5.30pm-6.30pm, with live entertainment from Basant & Friends, from 5.30pm on 18th – 19th, 25th – 26th October and 2nd November.
