A supper club for Boston singles · 30–50

Six strangers.
One long Indian dinner.
No swiping.

Once a month we cook a home-style Indian feast for six singles who've never met. You'll know a little about each other before you arrive — and the rest happens at the table.

How it works

A curated table, not a mixer.

01

Apply

Tell us a little about yourself in one paragraph. We read every application and build each table by hand.

02

Get your seat

If you're a fit for the upcoming table, we'll send a payment link. Your seat is confirmed once paid.

03

Meet the table

A few days before, you'll get first names, age ranges and a short blurb for each guest. No photos — faces are revealed at the door.

04

Eat, talk, decide later

Enjoy dinner without pressure. The next morning you tell us privately who you'd like to see again.

Who's at the table

Every table is built around who you'd like to meet.

When you apply, you tell us how you identify and who you're hoping to meet. All tables are trans-inclusive, and non-binary guests are always welcome.

Over Dinner is open to singles aged 30 to 50, but each table sits within a tighter age range. That way you're among people at a similar stage of life, which makes a real connection, whether romance or friendship, more likely.

Most months

Mixed table

Three men and three women, for guests hoping to meet someone of a different gender.

Every few months

Open table

Six LGBTQ+ singles of any gender, where everyone is open to meeting everyone.

After dinner

Only mutual yeses get shared.

No swapping numbers at the table. Instead, everyone fills out a short private form the morning after. We only connect people who chose each other — and nobody ever finds out who didn't.

1

The next morning, a private form

For each guest, choose "Romantic interest," "Would like to be friends," or "No thanks." You have 48 hours.

2

We look for matches

Two people who both chose romantic, or both chose friends, are a match. One-sided picks stay private.

3

We introduce you, then step back

Matches get each other's contact details. Everyone hears back from us either way.

Our story

From the cricket pitch to the dinner table.

We're Varun and Ajay. We became friends through cricket, and over the years the friendship moved off the field and into each other's kitchens: long dinners, second helpings and conversations that ran well past dessert.

Now in our 40s, we've both found that dating through the apps can be exhausting. Endless swiping, small talk that goes nowhere, and first dates in loud bars where you can barely hear each other.

So we're doing what we know best: opening up our table. This isn't a matchmaking service. It's simply another way to meet people, in the comfort of a home instead of the rush of a restaurant. We cook and host. You bring your curiosity.

House rules

You're a guest in our home. Treat the table that way.

Come curious

Debate is welcome. Disagree with ideas, never insult people.

Two drinks, max

Anyone visibly drunk gets a ride home, not a second invitation.

Phones away at dinner

Be present with the five people across from you.

No pressure

Contact details are only shared through the mutual opt-in.

Show up, or tell us early

Cancellations within 72 hours aren't refunded. An empty seat unbalances the whole table.

Stay for the whole evening

Dinner runs 7–10 pm. Please arrive on time and stay through dessert. We'll wind things down at 10.

Hosts have the final say

We may decline an application or ask a guest to leave. No exceptions.

FAQ

Good questions

Is this speed dating?

No. There's no rotating and no timer — just one long dinner with five other people. Plenty of tables end in new friendships too.

Who are the hosts?

Varun and Ajay, two friends from cricket who love cooking (read our story). We cook and host. We don't sit at the table as guests.

Why no photos beforehand?

So you show up curious about people, not faces. We ask for a photo when you apply, but only the hosts see it.

Can I bring a friend?

Each guest applies on their own, so every table stays balanced and made up of strangers.

What if I don't match with anyone?

You'll still hear from us, and you're welcome at a future table with five new people.

Apply

Pull up a chair.

This is an application, not a booking. If you're a fit for an upcoming table, we'll email you a payment link to confirm your seat.

Your paragraph is what other guests will read before dinner, so make it sound like you.

The application takes about 10 minutes.

You'll tell us a little about yourself, who you'd like to meet, and any dietary needs. We'll ask for a recent photo, which only the hosts see.
