A festival
celebrating
Sydney’s

Don’t Tell Aunty is a good time place. The food and beverage are elevated, but don’t let that make you think that you can’t laugh loudly here. Come, let us take care of you and let’s see where this table takes us. But please, don’t tell our aunties what we’ve done with the chai.

Jessi and Raj, two men born in India, defied their motherland’s deeply entrenched conditioning around the kitchen, food and serving. Although they were both “told” by their culture that the kitchen was a place for women and that they, as men, were to be cooked for and served to, they could not be kept away. They were fascinated by and drawn to the divine significance of food, beverage and the act of serving others. Serving others, is a gesture India holds sacred.
