About this Event
This time, the evening takes on a special glow — it’s our Diwali edition.
Picture this: you arrive in SET Social Peckham at 5.30pm, and the air is warm with the scent of sweet incense and the soft glow of diyas flickers along the bar. At the bar you are offered a hot cup of masala chai and some popcorn. You settle in with chai and popcorn in hand to watch a film. At intermission, the lights turn on and there's stuffed parathas sizzling away on the Tava (hot plate). You're offered the hot parathas, served with butter, yogurt and a selection of Indian pickles. You enjoy your meal, catching up with friends as the food fills you with comfort. Once you’ve eaten, a hot cup of chai and a sweet treat are brought to you. Together, you settle in with chai and treat to watch the rest of the film — the perfect ending to a soul-nourishing experience.

A bit about Tava Rakh - Tava Rakh is a plant-based food business run by me, Mala Lal. Tava Rakh means ‘put the hot plate on’ in Punjabi. It’s a phrase my mum has said while growing up and signals the start of cooking (which means there’ll be tasty food I’ll be eating). Growing up in a Punjabi household meant I was constantly surrounded by rich Indian comfort food that was always indulgent and full of flavour.
Food has always been a big part of who I am – I always turn to cooking when I want to unwind and relax after a big day. There’s nothing more perfect to me than a good playlist and cooking with all my favourite veggies. The nostalgia and warmth I feel from having a crispy pronta with yogurt, pickle, butter, and a cup of masala chai to finish the meal is unmatched. It’s a feeling I’d like to share with you.
