New Delhi [India], October 7: Home Centre, India's most preferred destination for homemakers to create their dream homes, unveiled The Great Indian Diwali Gourmet Table at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon. Unveiled by celebrity chef Ranveer Brar, this first-of-its-kind festive showcase reimagines Diwali dining and gifting through an elevated lens of style, luxury, and modern India.
At the heart of the celebration was a 10-foot gourmet dining spectacle featuring dishes inspired by India's diverse culinary traditions, each thoughtfully reinterpreted with a modern twist. Each dish on the table tells the story of one Indian state, tied to a local Diwali (or harvest/festival) tradition. Reimagined through modern plating, bite-sized forms, and unexpected fusions or techniques, the menu journeys through India's culinary diversity.
Speaking on the launch, Jayanti Ganguly, CEO of Home Centre India said, "The Great Indian Diwali Gourmet Table marks a new milestone for Home Centre, establishing it as the destination for festive inspiration, where culinary creativity and elegant home decor come together to celebrate India's most beloved festival. This initiative beautifully captures the essence of Diwali - abundant dining, thoughtful gifting, and joyous gatherings. It marks our commitment to helping customers celebrate the season with warmth, creativity, and style."
Chef Ranveer Brar added, "Food has always been a bridge between tradition and innovation. Home Centre's The Great Indian Diwali Gourmet Table reimagines India's culinary heritage in a way that feels festive, modern, and inspiring. It is more than an aesthetic statement; it is a narrative of regional Diwali traditions, local ingredients, and cross-cultural techniques. It pays homage to the food and cooking traditions of India while tapping into deeply personal flavours, rituals, and festive recipes, but with
elevated expression. "
From innovative takes on regional classics like Mini Mysurpa Cannoli, Beetroot Kanji Vada, and Cream Cheese & Tomato Thokku Vol-au-Vents to globally styled creations such as Punjabi Choley Hummus with masala lavash and Goan Fov Arancini, the menu reflected both nostalgia and contemporary abundance.
The experience also included a curated Gifting Table styled with Home Centre's premium serveware, tableware, and festive decor, offering aspirational yet practical gifting ideas for the season. This season's Diwali collection features five distinct ranges - Moksha, Altius, Glimmer, Amara and India Heritage Decor - each blending design, craftsmanship, and festive appeal. Starting at an attractive price point of Rs 249, these ranges are perfect to gift this Diwali.
The festive collection is now available across 90+ Home Centre stores in 41 cities as well as online at homecentre.in.
About The Great Indian Gourmet Diwali Table
This Diwali, Home Centre has reimagined the Indian festive table not as a static centrepiece, but as a dynamic, interactive, and contemporary grazing experience that travels from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, pausing at regional homes, kitchens, and memories. Rooted in tradition but dressed in modernity, the table speaks to the New Indian Diner, one who seeks the comfort of home yet explores the world through flavour.
Cultural Significance
Diwali, the festival of lights, touches everyone. Its cultural significance runs deep, woven into the very fabric of communities. From sweets and lamps to festive clothing and redecorated homes, Diwali is more than a celebration of light over darkness; it celebrates people.
As a part of its Diwali 2025 campaign, Home Centre has curated 'The Great Indian Gourmet Table', as an ode to the abundant, colourful community tables that bring people together. Rich with tradition, flavour, and shared joy, it is a tribute to the multicultural spirit that makes India shine brighter than ever.
The Menu Concept
Each dish on the table tells the story of one Indian state, tied to a local Diwali (or harvest/festival) tradition. Reimagined through modern plating, bite-sized forms, and unexpected fusions or techniques, the menu journeys through India's culinary diversity. For states where Diwali is not a central tradition, local ingredients and techniques have been woven in, ensuring inclusivity in the culinary narrative.
