Supper Club FAQ

An intimate South Indian supper club at my table in Ellicott City, Maryland — seasonal, home-cooked, and shared with a small group of guests. I source most ingredients from the local farmers market and from my garden.

​

New dates are announced first to my newsletter subscribers, and evenings tend to fill quickly — they have sold out within a day and are often booked months ahead. If a date you want is full, ask about the waitlist; seats do open up.

​

To book a seat — please DM me on Instagram (@savitha.enner) or write to me through savithaenner.com. I will confirm availability personally and share payment and evening details with you directly.

 

What is the supper club?

It is a small, seated dinner at my home in Ellicott City, cooked and hosted by me. The food is rooted in the South Indian — especially Karnataka — cooking I grew up with, made with seasonal ingredients and served family-style and in courses at one shared table. Come as a guest; most people leave as friends.

​

Who cooks, and who hosts?

I do — Savitha Enner. I plan the menu, cook the meal, and sit with the evening as it unfolds. From time to time a friend or fellow cook joins me for a special themed evening. We usually have help at the table to serve.

​

Is it the same as your cooking classes?

No. In a cooking class we cook together and you learn the dishes hands-on. At the supper club, you simply arrive, sit down, and eat — the cooking is done for you. Many guests do both.

​

How do I reserve?

DM me on Instagram (@savitha.enner) or write to me through savithaenner.com and tell me the date and how many seats you would like. I will reply personally to confirm whether those seats are available.

​

How far ahead should I book?

As early as you can. Evenings sell out within 24 hours of being announced and are typically booked about three months in advance. Joining the monthly newsletter is the surest way to hear about new dates first.

​

What if the evening I want is full?

Ask to be added to the waitlist. Plans change, and waitlisted guests are the first people I write to when a seat opens.

 

Can I book the whole table, or a private dinner?

Yes — I take a small number of private and group inquiries, including dinners for eight. DM or write to me with your date, group size, and occasion, and we will talk through what is possible. The minimum is one table of 10 people, or 2 tables of 10.

 

Can I give a seat as a gift?

Of course — it makes a lovely gift. Book as usual and let me know it is a gift and who it is for, and I will note it on the evening's list and send your guest an email with confirmation.

​

The evening itself

Where is it held, and when do I get the address?

At my home in Ellicott City, Maryland. For privacy, the exact address and arrival details are sent to confirmed guests closer to the date — please do not share them onward.

​

What time does it start, and how long does it last?

We start dinner at 6:30 PM, and the dinner is a minimum of 3 hours.

​

How many guests are there?

It is deliberately small — one shared table — so everyone can meet everyone else. There are usually 2 tables for these events.

 

What happens during the evening?

Guests arrive, settle in, and we eat together over several courses. I introduce each dish briefly — where it comes from and how it is made — and the rest of the evening is unhurried conversation around the table.

 

What should I wear, and what should I bring?

Whatever you are comfortable eating a long, relaxed dinner in — most guests come smart-casual. You do not need to bring anything.

 

What about drinks?

It’s a BYOB event. Most people stick with water, but you are welcome to bring any alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage.

Food and dietary needs

 

What will we eat?

A set, seasonal menu built around South Indian home cooking — dishes from my Karnataka roots alongside others I love to make.

​

 I am vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free — can you accommodate me?

All dishes are naturally vegetarian, and many are gluten-free. Tell me about your needs when you book — not the week of the dinner — and I will tell you honestly what I can and cannot do for that menu.

 

What about allergies?

Please tell me about any allergy, however small it seems, when you book. My kitchen is a home kitchen that regularly uses nuts, dairy, sesame, mustard, and spices, so I cannot promise an allergen-free environment.

​

Is the food spicy?

It is seasoned the way the dishes are meant to taste — flavourful first, with heat where it belongs. If you are nervous about spice, mention it when you book and I will steer you to the gentler dishes on the night.

​

Payment, changes and cancellations

How much is it, and how do I pay?

Please DM me for the current per-person price and payment details — I share those personally when I confirm your seats. It can be anywhere from $75 to $100 per person.

​

When is my seat confirmed?

Your seat is confirmed once payment has been received and I have replied to confirm it. A message expressing interest alone does not hold a seat, as evenings fill so quickly.

​

What if I need to cancel or change my plans?

I try to reach out to people on the waitlist, but sometimes we might be too close to the evening to fill the seat. If you need to cancel, write to me as early as you can and we will figure it out together.

​

Can I transfer my seat to someone else?

Usually, yes — life happens. Just let me know their name and any dietary needs ahead of time so the evening's list and menu are right.

​

Good to know

Where do I park?

On my driveway or along the curb.

​

Can I take photos?

Photos of the food and your own table, yes — please do, and tag @savitha.enner if you share them. Please ask other guests before including them in a photo.

​

I follow you for yoga — is this connected to your yoga teaching?

It is the other half of the same table, so to speak. I teach yoga and Yoga Humanities in the Ellicott City area and online, and I cook and host this supper club. Guests often arrive through one and stay for the other.
