CANCELLED: Global Dining: Northern India in Artesia

August 10, 2019 | 12:00PM - 4:30PM

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Rajdhani restaurant in Artesia is famous for vegetarian thali—an Indian-style meal made of a selection of various dishes served on a large round platter. Typical dishes include rice, dal, vegetables, roti, papad, dahi (yogurt), small amounts of chutney or pickle, and a sweet dish to top it off. After the meal, explore the Indian grocery, jewelry, and sari shops along Little India’s Pioneer Blvd.

The Global Dining series takes place again on September 21. Inspired by current Fowler exhibitions, this summer dining series is curated for like-minded, adventurous foodies to enjoy authentic dishes from Nigeria, India, and Guatemala. Each event has a limited capacity and requires advance tickets (no walk-ins). To register, contact Fowler Public Programs at fowlerprograms@arts.ucla.edu or 310-267-4007.
