All Welcome
This year, on Wednesday 8th November, you are warmly invited to join us at The Steel Yard from 7pm until midnight for a night of dancing and deliciousness. Our friend, the creative marvel Almass Badat, has curated a most diverting array of South-Asian performers to help you dance the night away under the lights of the main auditorium.
The festival of light is almost here and tickets for our biggest and brightest Diwali event yet are now on sale. We have asked our friend, the exceptionally talented Almass Badat to curate a line-up of musical acts, and you will find this explosion of South Asian talent under the lights of the Steel Yard’s cavernous main auditorium.
Dance the night away, stopping whenever you require rest and sustenance to wander to adjacent rooms. There you can enjoy drinks, a plentiful vegetarian meal of Dishoom favourites, and intricate mehndi. When fully refuelled, you can pass by our fully stocked bar for a chilled beer, icy soda, or enlivening chai, before rejoining the dance floor.

A line-up of South Asian talent to delight
The night will be hosted by Huddersfield-born broadcaster Harpz Kaur – who will keep things going with insightful anecdotes, fun moments and her trademark warmth. Brothers Harrisan and Anushan Mohanarajah – also known as 2Flutes – will present a Carnatic-inspired medley through ragas and harmonies. DJ, broadcaster and writer, Haseeb Iqbal’s curated, strictly vinyl set of Pakistani Cinema, Kollywood, funk and global sounds will keep you on your toes. Eternal Taal, an all-women entertainment team will present a blend of dhol, dance and DJ, alongside show-stopping talent from London's Cabaret Bollywood dance scene, BollySass. And, of course, expect a legendary DJ set of big hits and dancefloor classics from DJ Ritu & Sanj J Sanj as these pioneers of the South Asian music scene go back-to-back.
With each new café that we open, we write a story deeply rooted in Bombay history or culture. This story, known to us as the founding myth, informs all aspects of the restaurant’s design. We spend months researching the Bombay of the period and combing the city for the right furniture, both vintage and new. In a way, you walk across our thresholds into our stories.
Bedecked in their annual finery of baubles, tinsel and lights, our cafés are ready to receive you for your Christmas celebration. So too are our chefs, who have assembled a most excellent array of festive fare for your table.
Our soft launch will run from 27th November to 2.30pm on 5th December. And to express our gratitude for being among our first guests, all food can be enjoyed at 50% off across breakfast, lunch and dinner – yes, really.
Stop by any Bombay tapri (street stall), café, or home, and you will likely find yourself with a gently steaming glass of chai in hand. Before the invention of chai, Bombayites drank kadha, an ayurvedic remedy for coughs and colds made of boiled water and spices like cardamom, cloves and nutmeg. Eventually locals started adding tea leaves, milk, honey and sugar to their ‘kadha’. Chai was born.
