Supper clubs: These Indians are earning up to ₹6 lakh a month hosting intimate dinners at home
Imagine turning your dining table into a money-making machine, serving food to strangers, sharing stories, and walking away with lakhs every month. That's exactly what a growing number of Indians are doing, thanks to the supper club trend that's heating up cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurgaon. No big kitchens. No expensive leases. Just good food, warm vibes, and a killer Instagram game. Supper clubs are intimate dining experiences hosted in private homes, where 6–14 strangers gather to eat, talk, and connect over curated menus. Think of it as dinner party meets pop-up restaurant—with a personal touch that restaurants can't match. And yes, people are paying a premium for it. Take Bengaluru couple Aditya Ramakrishnan and Dongli Zhang. From the comfort of their cosy home, they serve up a 7-course Sichuan meal under the name Ma La Kitchen Supper Club. The best part? Their supper club reportedly earns them up to ₹ 6 lakh a month: no restaurant, no investors, just passion and a great palate. In Gurgaon, Archit Agarwal and Natasha Ratti Kapoor turned a simple Instagram idea into The LOST Table, one of the fastest-selling supper clubs around. Born in Hollywood during the 1930s, supper clubs were once hubs for music, food, and conversation. Now, they're back; except instead of smoky lounges, you're entering a stranger's apartment for dinner, you'll talk about for weeks. Post-pandemic, people aren't just craving food—they're craving connection. And supper clubs are delivering both. No two menus are alike- You might get Kashmiri rogan josh one week and Korean BBQ tacos the next. It's not just food, it's theatre- Hosts often share the stories behind the dishes, their culture, or even the playlist. Secret locations, limited seats- Bookings usually happen via Instagram or WhatsApp. Hosts aren't always chefs: Most are passionate home cooks turning side hustles into full-time gigs. What makes supper clubs special is the vibe. You show up not knowing anyone. By the end of the night, you're swapping numbers, sharing dessert, and joining a WhatsApp group that lives on long after the food is gone.

No staff. No rent. Just control over what they cook, how they serve, and who they invite in.

Generally though, Pottery Barn Items are much much higher quality." Williams-Sonoma president and chief executive Laura Alber said: 'We are committed to long-term growth and expanding the reach of our brands where we see meaningful market opportunity. 'We believe great design and quality craftsmanship have universal appeal and we look forward to bringing Pottery Barn's signature aesthetic to the UK.' Pottery Barn president Monica Bhargava added: 'Whether furnishing a new flat, refreshing a family home, or entertaining with family and friends or thoughtful gifting, we are proud to be providing the UK market with thoughtfully designed pieces that meet the needs of modern living.' Pottery Barn isn't the only US company to be making ground in the UK. Slim Chickens - which some people say is "better than KFC" - revealed it will open 16 new restaurants across the UK in 2025.

The dipping sauces include blue cheese, buffalo, cayenne ranch, gravy mayo, honey mustard, Korean BBQ, Slim Sauce and a limited-time "Unknown" sauce. On social media, fans have raved about the chain over the last few years. On Instagram, one person said the food "looks phenomenal", while on Reddit, another said "prefer it over KFC". Meanwhile on X, one person said: "Slim Chickens is the best chicken place I have ever been to and it's not even close.." Another added: "What is the best fried chicken franchise and why is it Slim Chickens?" A third said: "Slim chickens is much better if you want good chicken, better than both KFC and Popeyes imo."
