An evening of indulgence was unveiled as chef Milind Sovani brought guests through a journey of the palate through ten regions in India during an exotic ten-course dinner. From Bengal to Lucknow to Tamilnadu, Punjab, Kashmir and other regions of India, guests tasted a fine spread of excellently crafted dishes. Dancing to the tune of The Song of India were six Kathak dancers specially invited from Mumbai to heighten the dining experience. The exactness and gracefulness of their strokes paralleled the precision by which chef Sovani delivered each course, proving himself to be a master of taste for Indian cuisine.
