Introducing Caisha Sprout:

We’re thrilled to welcome Caisha Sprout as our entertainment for Space2b’s Diwali Dinner with Friends on Friday 17 October, 6pm – 8pm.

Caisha Sprout is an exciting Melbourne-based songwriter of Indian heritage, whose music grows from her own rich and unique creative roots. Deeply inspired by blues, soul, and funk, Caisha brings an earthy blend of guitar and vocals—music that you don’t just hear, but feel.

Her narrative is a reflection of the broader Australian story—an Aussie girl, the daughter of migrant parents, contributing to the vibrant, multicultural community we celebrate today. Through her songs, Caisha offers a glimpse into the outlook of contemporary Australia—stories of connection, resilience, and hope that transcend backgrounds and bring people together.

This Diwali, join us for an evening of food, friendship, and luminous music as Caisha Sprout takes us on a soulful journey.

Thank you to the City of Port Phillip’s Live ‘n’ Local for their support.

Meet Our Guest Chefs: Kaustav & Neha

We’re delighted to introduce Kaustav & Neha (with little Aahana!) as our guest chefs for Space2b’s Diwali Dinner with Friends on Friday 17 October, 6pm – 8pm.

Their culinary journey began early, inspired by their parents and a shared love of authentic, traditional cuisine.

Together, they launched Aussie Nukkad in 2018—beginning with fresh Indian snacks and meals prepared from home for friends, family and colleagues. Their food quickly grew in popularity, and today they cater for weddings, markets and major events, always staying true to their roots while reimagining classic dishes.

This Diwali, we can’t wait to share in Neha & Kaustav’s unique and modern interpretation of traditional Indian recipes—a feast to remember.
