Curated Christmas Dining Experiences Across India

This season, India’s leading culinary spaces are rebuilding the festive playbook. Across major cities, menus are shifting towards formats that meet what consumers now want: memorable programming over generic buffets, purpose-driven gifting over token hampers, and flavour-first experiences.

From Japanese-inspired festive plates and expressive contemporary dining, to terrarium-making, guided stargazing, intuition-led art workshops, and craft-driven holiday tables, Christmas 2025 is shaping up as the most curated, experience-led season yet.

Below is a cross-section of high-intent offerings across India: menus with direction, programming with purpose, and Christmas done with craft instead of cliché.
