(Instagram/ Vogue Arabia and Suhel Seth) While the guest list featured global glitterati, the true stars of the evening were the meticulously curated decor and a menu that brought the soul of ‘Indian home cooking’ to the heart of Italy. On May 8, businessman, brand consultant, columnist, and actor Suhel Seth shared a glimpse of the special evening hosted by the Ambani family, writing in his Instagram caption, "A fabulous sit-down dinner hosted by Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre here in Venice…"The decor: Venetian grandeur meets Indian opulence
The dinner was held in a sprawling, high-ceilinged hall that mirrored the architectural majesty of Venice. The long, banqueting table served as the centrepiece of the room, exuding a warm, golden glow. The table was draped in a shimmering copper-gold textured fabric, reflecting the light from the overhead crystal chandeliers. Eschewing traditional tall centrepieces that block conversation, the table featured low arrangements of lush pink and yellow flowers. Adding a rustic yet refined touch, bowls of fresh blackberries were scattered across the table, doubling as edible decor. Each guest, including Suhel Seth, was greeted with elegant, gold-lettered place cards. The settings featured ornate gold-filigree chargers paired with classic white porcelain and crystal glassware. Towering, multi-tiered crystal candelabras provided a soft, flickering ambience, illuminating the historic frescoes lining the walls of the Venetian venue. Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Suhel Seth (@suhelseth)The menu: 'An ode to India and Italy'
Suhel's Instagram post revealed that the menu was 'an ode to celebrate India and Italy' – it was designed as a 'beautiful amalgamation' of the two cultures, both famous for their love of food. It transitioned from a sophisticated Italian-Indian fusion appetiser to a deeply traditional Indian thali. The meal commenced with a cross-cultural dish, petit pois kachori: a vegetarian-filled pastry paired with puglian stracciatella (a creamy Italian cheese) and a zesty 'Jamnagar mango relish'. Then for main course came the grand Indian thali: it was a celebration of diversity, showcasing the finesse of Indian home cooking across various regions of the country. It comprised aloo petha sabzi (potatoes and pumpkin sabzi) cooked with a five-spice blend, saag paneer with ‘freshly churned white butter’, kurkuri bhindi (crispy okra), yellow dal tadka, a comfort Indian staple prepared with traditional tempering, morrel and saffron pulao, a fragrant, luxury rice dish featuring prized morel mushrooms, and Rajasthani dahi bada (lentil dumplings soaked in spiced yoghurt to cool the palate). There were also chutneys – a duo of lahsoon (garlic) and dhaniya pudina (coriander-mint), and a unique amrood (guava) chutney.'Specialty add-ons' and breads
For those seeking meat options, the Ambani family served 'railway station chicken curry' (a nostalgic nod to Indian travel), 'adraki lamb korma', and a rich 'baingan ka salan' (eggplant curry). These were accompanied by an assortment of traditional Indian breads like 'poori, nan kulcha, khapli (wheat) ki roti, and tikori'. To complement the spice-forward menu, the evening featured a curated selection of world-class wines, including Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Champagne Brut and Marchesi Antinori Badia a Passignano 2019. From Anant Ambani’s signature giraffe brooch — a nod to his passion for Vantara — to the masked Venetian flair of guests like Suhel Seth, the evening was more than just a dinner; it was a sensory statement. By serving a 'Rajasthani dahi bada' in a Venetian palace, the Ambani family successfully exported the authentic flavour of 'Indian home cooking' to the world.
