Aprisio’s Long Table Just Delivered Its Third Supper Club

Aprisio’s The Long Table supper club is seeing steady growth, with the third edition unfolding recently in November—Lagan nu Bhonu, a heartfelt Parsi wedding feast that turned a Cox Town home into a sanctuary of flavor, stories, and connection. What began as an experiment in intimate dining has quietly become one of Aprisio’s most sought-after food experiences. With only six seats per event, each supper sells out faster than the last, proving that in a city obsessed with scale, sometimes the smallest tables make the loudest impact.

Lagan nu Bhonu: A Wedding Feast Without the Wedding

Lagan nu Bhonu—literally “wedding feast” in Gujarati—is the Parsi community’s grand culinary embrace, traditionally served after the sacred lagan (wedding) ceremony. Sweet, sour, and spice coexist in perfect harmony, reflecting Zoroastrian beliefs in balance and gratitude. Aprisio member and host Jermina Menon, a 30-year marketing veteran who’s built brands for Reliance Retail and Bhartiya Urban, channeled this heritage into a five-course journey that felt less like dinner and more like time travel.

The evening opened with Raspberry Soda, its electric pink hue and sharp tang slicing through Bangalore’s humid November air like a ceremonial toast. Starters followed swiftly: Chicken Farcha Bites—crisp, egg-battered fried chicken redolent of ginger and green chilli—for non-vegetarians, while vegetarians tucked into Potato Cutlets, golden orbs hiding a softly spiced mash. Both were crowned with Lagan nu Achaar Salad, a riot of pickled carrot, raw mango, and chili that danced between crunch and heat.

Main course one was a revelation: Patra ni Macchi, pomfret slathered in emerald chutney of coconut, coriander, and mint, then wrapped in banana leaves and steamed to silky perfection. Served with paper-thin Rotli, the fish released clouds of coastal fragrance with every cut. Vegetarians received Parsi Vegetable Stew, a gentle medley of beans, carrots, and bottle gourd in a light tomato broth—comfort in a bowl.

The second main married fire and comfort. Prawn Patio arrived in a glossy, tamarind-jaggery gravy—sweet, sour, and quietly fierce—paired with fluffy Rice and Parsi Dal over Brown Rice. The dal, slow-simmered with garlic, cumin, and a whisper of turmeric, was the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes on the first spoonful. Vegetarians savored Baigan Patio, where eggplant surrendered to the same addictive sauce, its flesh creamy and caramelized.

Dessert sealed the covenant: Ravo, a velvety semolina pudding scented with cardamom and rose, topped with charred almonds and pistachios. Simple, yes—but in its homeliness lay nostalgia, the taste of Parsi childhoods and wedding-night sweetness.

Six Seats, One Table, Countless Stories

With capacity capped at six (and just one seat left when bookings opened), Lagan nu Bhonu was engineered for intimacy. No menus, no servers—just Jermina’s warmth, Aprisio’s seamless coordination, and strangers who left as co-conspirators in a secret feast.

Col Razzaque Adil, the evening’s sole male guest, captured the spirit perfectly:

“Today’s evening was an apt example of ‘it’s not just about the food but an experience.’ Loved the food and the company of 6 lovely ladies (I was the only male member present today, Ahem!), and the nice warm ambience. Thank you @Jemina for conjuring up the food magic. Thanks to @~Ritika S Mishra for putting in her efforts as well. N off course the man behind the idea for a community like this—@~Kaushal Mishra.”

Even those who couldn’t attend felt the pull. Aprisio member Aarti Krishnakumar, fresh from a dance drama performance, wrote:

“That dinner looked absolutely divine! 😍 I had a lovely evening myself—attended a beautiful dance drama performance, and it was such a treat for the senses.”

Between courses, Jermina shared lore: why fish symbolizes prosperity, how dal grounds the soul, and why Salli Boti, teased in Aprisio’s preview but swapped for Prawn Patio this time, represents marriage itself: tender mutton for love, crisp potato straws for life’s surprises.

Why Aprisio’s Model Works

In a city flooded with global pop-ups, The Long Table thrives on restraint. Hosted in homes (address shared only post-booking), BYOB, ₹849 + GST—cheaper than most mains at fine-dining spots, yet infinitely richer in context. Aprisio founder Kaushal Mishra have cracked the code: curate exceptional hosts, limit seats, let conversation flow. No upselling, no noise, just food and fellowship.

Bangalore’s supper club scene is crowded, but few offer this depth. The Long Table isn’t chasing trends, it’s preserving stories, one six-seat table at a time. The November 8 edition is gone, but the waitlist lives. Unlike restaurants, where tables turn and conversations are hushed by clattering cutlery, supper clubs like The Long Table strip away the transactional. There’s no bill shock, no hurried service, just six souls around one table, passing dishes, sharing stories, and discovering common ground in a stranger’s spice blend. This is community-building at its most delicious: trust forged over second helpings, friendships sparked by shared plates, and memories etched in the scent of cardamom and tamarind. In a city of a million meetups, Aprisio reminds us that the strongest bonds are built not in crowds, but in circles—small, warm, and gloriously full.
