A story served at the table.
A private dining experience: one chef, one table, one evening. The food comes from the kitchens of Bihar's Muslim households and the journey those recipes made to Kolkata — cooked slowly, over fire where it matters, and shaped around your occasion.
Food & drink
A menu that feels inherited, not assembled.
There is no fixed menu. Each evening is written from four registers of the family table, then finished around your guests.
- Ghar ka khana
- Everyday food
- Dastarkhwan
- The generous table
- Mehfil
- Occasion food
- The Kolkata layer
- The city's influence
An evening with Riwayat
One chef, one table, one evening.
The chef cooks where you are hosting, with an assistant when the evening calls for one. The table is dressed simply — terracotta and brass, wood and cotton — and the food arrives in waves, each introduced in a sentence or two. Never a lecture.
