Chai Nasto | A Gujarati Brunch Club, Diwali Special

Honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month with an Ayurvedic-inspired Gujarati brunch — blending tradition, flavour, and purpose.

This Diwali, we bring back our infamous Chai Nashto - a Gujarati brunch that pays homage to the ultimate weekend full of food, family, friends and gathering, intertwined with a special purpose. We mark Breast Cancer Awareness month with a fundraiser in collaboration with Breast Cancer UK and their series of supper clubs, Full. This year, the theme focuses on healthy eating and reducing alcohol intake by shining a light on prevention through diet. Khao has curate a unique menu that brings practises of Ayurvedic wellness together with classic Gujarati flavours. What's more, the menu is fully plant based and with a selection of non-alcholic drinks pairings sponsored by CleanCo, who offer a selection of unique non-alcoholic spirit alternatives.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, join us in focusing on what matters most: preventing breast cancer before it starts. Research shows that at least 30% of breast cancer cases in the UK—around 17,000 each year—can be prevented by targeting key lifestyle and environmental factors. That’s why this year, they're shining a light on the power of prevention through simple, sustainable changes like improving diet and reducing alcohol intake. The table will be a space for conversation and awareness, as BCUK team members will be on hand with vital information and to answer any questions.

Khao will be donating 10% of each ticket sale from this brunch club to Breast Cancer UK to fund their vital research into breast cancer prevention. Let’s raise awareness, fill our plates with purpose, and help future-proof our health together.
