The Sewing Tin Redefines Fine Dining with South Asian Storytelling

Akhil Upad and Aditya Mishra have turned their passion for food and storytelling into The Sewing Tin, a supper club celebrating South Asian heritage. Their events blend fine dining with social impact, earning praise from culinary figures like Anthony Bourdain and José Andrés. The duo hosts immersive dinners that challenge traditional notions of upscale cuisine while giving back to the community.

The Sewing Tin began as a side project for Upad, a medical student with a background in food science, and Mishra, a saucier at the Michelin-starred Le Bernardin. The two met while working at Junoon, another Michelin-recognised restaurant in New York. Since then, they have hosted over 30 dinners, transforming each into a creative and memorable experience.

The Sewing Tin continues to redefine supper clubs by merging high-end dining with cultural storytelling and community support. Their work has not only elevated South Asian cuisine in upscale settings but also created lasting connections through food. With partnerships spanning luxury brands and food-justice initiatives, Upad and Mishra’s project remains both innovative and impactful.
