thela- love letter to delhi’s lunch hour

THELA A Delhi Lunch Hour Before delivery apps, Delhi had the thela. For office workers, students and anyone hungry in the middle of the day, these roadside stalls and lunch counters were where the city gathered. They served some of Delhi's most loved food — quickly, generously and with plenty of conversation on the side. This July, Kikli brings that memory to the table. Join us for an intimate supper club inspired by the food, people and lunch-hour rituals of Delhi. Expect familiar favourites, comforting thalis, shared stories and a table full of strangers who won't feel like strangers for long. Feel free to bring your favourite bottle — this table is BYOB.
