A little taste of India in West Philly

October 17, 2011

Taj MahalThe International House Philadelphia is hosting a series of events this month dedicated to India and its rich culture. A photography exhibit, the Diwali festival, and the International Vision Award Ceremony are all part of the Incredible India! event series running in October and the beginning of November.

This week the International House invites neighbors to enjoy and learn more about Indian cuisine. This event will take place tomorrow, Oct. 18, at 6:00 p.m. at Tandoor India located at 106 S 40th Street. Tandoor India specializes in exotic North and South Indian cuisine. The restaurant’s host will select the menu and drinks and present a short overview of the food and culture of the region.

We hear that members of Youcie (the University City Young Friends group) will co-host the event, so this is also a great opportunity to meet them and learn more about the group.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased here. For more Incredible India! and other events at the International House go here.

    Would this be a good thing for a 3 year old? She’s half-Indian and lives far away from relatives. I want her to see what Diwali is.

    I was thinking in particular about the event on 11/11 at 6pm.

    Hi Jane. No information is available about age restrictions, but we’ll try to find out more. 49th St: Jane was referring to this year’s Diwali Celebration. Here’s more info: http://ihousephilly.org/student-housing/resident-life/upcoming-raac-events/diwali-celebration2-2
