Not a restaurant. Not quite a dinner party. Something between the two – more intimate than either. This is the Canella Supper Club.
Format: Cook + Dine
Setting: Indiranagar Studio
Seats: Limited
Led by: Chef Natasha Celmi
What is a Supper Club – and Why is Bangalore Embracing the Concept?
The supper club is one of the oldest and most enjoyable social formats in the world – and one of the least common in Bangalore. Originally a feature of 1920s American dining culture, the supper club has evolved into something more intimate and more interesting: a privately hosted, invitation-style dinner where the lines between host, chef, and guest blur in the most pleasurable way.
In the right setting, a supper club is fundamentally different from a restaurant dinner. There are no menus handed to you. There is no table service in the conventional sense. There is a chef who has decided what tonight’s meal will be, a group of people who have agreed to come for it, and an evening structured around the pleasure of cooking and eating well together.
Bangalore’s food culture – increasingly sophisticated, curious, and experience-hungry – was always going to embrace this format. The only question was where in the city it would find its ideal home.
The answer, for many of the city’s most discerning food lovers, has been Canella Studio in Indiranagar.
How a Cooking Studio in Bangalore Becomes the Perfect Supper Club Venue
The logic is simpler than it first appears. A restaurant is designed for service – the kitchen is hidden, the interaction is transactional, and the meal arrives from somewhere you can’t see. A home dinner party is warm and personal but constrained by the host’s equipment and the scale of their kitchen. A cooking studio in Bangalore, by contrast, is a fully equipped professional kitchen that is also, by design, a social space.
At Canella Studio, the kitchen is the dining room. The cooking happens in front of you – or with you – and the eating happens in the same space, at a beautifully set communal table. The studio was designed for exactly this kind of evening: a beautiful, functional, warm space where exceptional food is made and shared without the distance that a restaurant kitchen creates between chef and guest.
The result is a supper club experience that feels neither like going out nor like being hosted at home – it occupies its own category, defined by the particular intimacy that cooking and eating in the same room produces.
The Canella Supper Club – What Happens, Who Attends, What is Served
The Canella Supper Club is a ticketed, curated evening at the Indiranagar studio – typically held on a Friday or Saturday night, with seats released in limited numbers a few weeks in advance. No two supper clubs are identical: the menu changes each time, the cuisine rotates, and the group of guests is always a mix of first-timers, regulars, food industry friends, and curious Bangaloreans who found out about it through word of mouth.
The Evening’s Shape
Arrival – Welcome
Aperitivo, introductions, Chef Natasha unveils the night’s menu and its story.
Act I – Cook Together
Guests cook the full menu – guided, hands-on, with story woven through every technique.
Act II – Sit Down & Dine
The table is set. The meal is plated. Everyone eats what they made – the best possible way to eat it.
The Finish – Linger
Recipe cards distributed. Conversations continue. No rush to clear the table. This is the point.
Who Attends
The Canella Supper Club draws a specific kind of Bangalore resident: people for whom food is genuinely important, not just functional. You’ll find solo attendees who wanted a memorable Friday evening, couples looking for a date night that’s actually different, food professionals who come to learn from Chef Natasha’s approach, and friends who discovered the concept and immediately thought of each other.
Couples on Date Night
The most romantic cooking experience in Bangalore – you cook together, dine together, and leave with a shared story.
Serious Food Lovers

Experience Collectors
Bangaloreans who specifically seek out experiences that can’t be replicated – and are worth telling people about afterward.
Why Dining at a Cooking Studio in Bangalore is Different from a Restaurant
Your relationship to the food
Restaurant Dinner: You receive it. It arrives from somewhere hidden.
Cooking Studio Supper Club: You made it. Every element of the meal passed through your hands.
The chef
Restaurant Dinner: Invisible – in the kitchen. You may never meet them.
Cooking Studio Supper Club: In the room with you the entire evening, teaching and sharing.
The menu
Restaurant Dinner: Multiple options, you choose. Designed for breadth.
Cooking Studio Supper Club: One curated menu, designed by Chef Natasha for this evening. No choice required – that’s the point.
The other guests
Restaurant Dinner: Strangers at adjacent tables. No interaction expected.
Cooking Studio Supper Club: People who cooked alongside you. Conversation happens naturally.
How the food tastes
Restaurant Dinner: As the chef intended.
Cooking Studio Supper Club: Better – because you made it and you understand it.
What you leave with
Restaurant Dinner: A good meal and perhaps a photo.
Cooking Studio Supper Club: Techniques, recipes, a new understanding of an ingredient or cuisine, and an evening worth remembering.
Private Dining at Canella Studio – Customizing Your Evening
Beyond the scheduled supper club dates, Canella Studio offers fully private dining experiences – where the studio is hired exclusively for your group and the evening is designed entirely around your preferences. This is private dining at Canella Studio in its most personal form.
A private supper club at Canella can be organised for a couple celebrating an anniversary, a close group of friends who want a private dinner party with a professional chef, or a small corporate group who want a more intimate alternative to a restaurant takeover.

The Philosophy Behind Chef Natasha’s Supper Club Menus
Every Canella Supper Club menu is built on the same three principles that guide all of Chef Natasha’s cooking. They are worth understanding, because they explain why the food at a Canella supper club tastes the way it does – and why it stays with you.
I – Minimum Effort
No technique in the menu is complex for its own sake. Every step serves the flavour. What looks effortless at the table is the product of intention, not simplicity.
II – Maximum Flavour
Flavour is the only criterion that matters. Every ingredient is there because it earns its place. Nothing is decorative. Nothing is there for presentation alone.
III – Maximum Nutrition
Food this good should also be food that nourishes. Chef Natasha’s menus are designed with the whole person in mind – not just the palate.
What Past Supper Club Guests Say About the Experience
“I’ve been to some beautiful restaurants in Bangalore and a few memorable dinner parties. The Canella Supper Club was something entirely different – I couldn’t tell you exactly why, but sitting down to eat a meal I had cooked myself, in a room full of people I’d just met, felt like the most connected evening I’d had in months.”
– Rohit K., Architect
“We came for a date night and ended up having the kind of evening where you look at each other at the end and think: we should do that again soon. Not because we liked the food – though we did – but because cooking together did something we didn’t expect.”
– Shreya & Anand
“Chef Natasha has a way of talking about food that makes you understand why it works, not just what to do with it. The Thai supper club was like a masterclass and a dinner party at the same time – I came home and immediately started writing down what I’d learned.”
– Preethi M., Food Writer
“I came alone – which I was slightly nervous about – and left feeling like I’d had dinner with people I actually knew. That’s a rare thing for a Saturday evening in Bangalore. I’ve already booked the next one.”
– Vikram N.
