Step into an unforgettable evening of storytelling through food as acclaimed chefs Aarthi Sampath and Suryakumar Balachandra present an exclusive four-course tasting menu at Fitoor Santa Monica. Blending nostalgic flavors from their roots with bold, modern techniques, this immersive dining experience features creative takes on Indian classics—like the playful Dahi Balla Mataka Chaat with lemongrass yogurt, and the rich Shetty Home’s Pulimunchi reimagined with paneer or fish. Each dish is a carefully composed chapter, complemented by signature cocktails crafted in partnership with Tharra Co. This one-night-only, ticketed dinner is a sensory celebration of Indian flavor, artistry, and culture. Seating is limited and staggered to ensure a focused, intimate experience. Join us this June and taste a story worth remembering.

Initially very pleased, but quality of waitstaff, at least ours which was multiple people seriously declined from our previous time here. Food was excellent & and well defined when asking. Some of it was very crumbly in consistency & made the table messy. We had to ask the waiter to clean it, rather than grabbing a cloth, he seemed to use a folded piece of paper scraping the crumbs rudely across the table, which was ineffective, rude and not professional. When placing our desert order, It seemed to have been totally forgotten. They brought our teas, which were tepid at best, and after asking multiple times about the desserts, they kept saying “almost ready” 15 minutes later still had not arrived. We well over minutes for dessert, with no forewarning, they really need to have better trained waitstaff. The food was always very tasty, but the seriously poorly trained detracted from what should have been a deliciously lovely dinner.

The food at Fitoor Restaurant was amazing, especially the Achari Paneer and Gulab Jamun Cremrole. The service was fantastic too—both the servers and the manager checked in after each course to ask how the food was.
