Celebrate Burns Night with a twist at Babur, where Scottish tradition meets India’s lost culinary heritage. For one night only, enjoy a five-course tasting menu featuring rare and forgotten Indian recipes, each paired with modern Indian single malt whiskies.

The evening begins at 6pm with a soulful welcome from our Nepalese bagpiper, followed by the ceremonial cutting of our Indian-spiced haggis and a recital of Robert Burns’ poetry. You will journey through dishes inspired by India’s rich, historic flavours, from Himalayan lamb curry to Bhutanese red rice kheer, accompanied by expertly selected whiskies from Rupam Talukdar.

Price: £65 per person (+ £35 whisky flight). Optional package £90 including the tasting menu, our debut cookbook Babur: Forty Years of Flavour, and a Babur tote.
