Eight Around

Bohri-style Supper Club

First things first - What is a 'Thaal'?

A 'Thaal' is a large shared plate which resides at the center of the experience. The 'Thaal' hosts 8 foodies around it to come together not just for the food but for truly being present and being catalyst to give the sense of belongingness.

Eight Around is a journey into the heart of authentic Bohra cuisine with a modern twist all across to thrill & please your tastebuds. Where every meal becomes a celebration of community, culture & FOOD!

Eight Around began with a simple desire - to share the warmth and richness of Dawoodi Bohra heritage with food lovers who appreciate authentic cultural experiences. What started as intimate gatherings in a family home has grown into something unexpected: a bridge between centuries-old traditions and Mumbai's vibrant food community.

We are not restaurateurs or professional caterers, we're simply passionate about preserving and sharing the beautiful rituals that has brought our community together for generations and most importantly honest & diehard FOODIES. Every thaal served in our home carries forward traditions that guests simply cannot experience anywhere else commercially.

What makes this special

This isn't just dinner, it's an invitation into a 1,400-year-old tradition that exists nowhere in the commercial dining world. The authentic Dawoodi Bohra thaal dining ritual creates an intimate cultural immersion that bridges centuries of tradition with contemporary storytelling, all within the comfort of a family home.

Why this Experience matters for you

Exclusive Cultural Access: The Dawoodi Bohra community originated in Yemen and their name 'Bohra' derives from the Gujarati word meaning 'to trade', reflecting our historical role as merchants and traders. Bohras remain a trading and business community renowned for our honesty, fairness and trustworthiness. This exclusive dinner experience offers unprecedented access to authentic traditions that remain largely private within the community.

Culinary Heritage Unavailable Commercially: Dawoodi Bohra culture is a blend of Yemeni, Egyptian and Indian cultures, creating a unique cuisine that represents diverse South Asian, Middle Eastern and North African influences. What makes us extraordinary is that authentic Bohra cuisine is virtually unavailable in commercial restaurants, making Eight Around a rare gateway to flavours that have evolved over centuries of cultural fusion.

Our Promise to You

Together, we represent a bridge between tradition and innovation, authenticity and accessibility.

We understand that inviting strangers into our home around a thaal is not just about serving food, it is about creating a space where cultures connect, stories unfold and new friendships begin over the universal language of exceptional cuisine.

When you join us at Eight Around, you are not just our guests. You become part of our extended family, sharing in a tradition that has brought communities together for generations.

We look forward to hosting you! ❤️
