The Asian Dinner Club was set up in 2008 by Salima Manji, who found it increasingly difficult to meet like-minded Asian Professionals in London due to working long hours and leading a typically hectic London life.
She attended a number of Asian “dating events” organised by different companies but found these were generally poorly organised, in badly-lit venues in London and they took up too much time with little results.
Salima hosted dinner parties at her home for a group of friends, and following quite a few successful evenings, decided to set up Asian Dinner Club, run by a team who are as passionate about the Company and it’s success as Salima (The Team)
"We feel that choosing the right venue is critical to a successful evening as Members can relax and socialise, as well as enjoy the outstanding food and ambiance offered by some of London’s finest restaurants" says Salima.
"The Asian Dinner Club team have therefore carefully hand-picked restaurants which are reasonably priced, to allow Members to attend our events regularly."

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be opposite the same person throughout the dinner?
No, after each course the men move 2 places along
I don’t drink. Are there non-alcoholic pre-dinner drinks on offer?
Yes, we will have non-alcoholic cocktails as we respect your religious beliefs/tastes.
I am a vegetarian and I don’t eat fish. Will I be catered for?
Yes, when you register with us, you are asked for your dietary requirements and we will take this information and ensure you are offered some delicious vegetarian options.
I want to drink wine with my dinner. Is this cost covered in the price of the dinner?
No. Only pre-dinner drinks are covered in the price of the dinner. Drinks with dinner can be ordered either at the bar or with the waiters, and the costs are settled by you. This helps us keep the price of our events to a reasonable level.
