Celebrate Diwali at Cassia

Celebrating Diwali Festival? This inner-city eatery should be on your dining agenda

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.
