Say goodbye to midweek monotony as DIFC’s nightlife scene just got a spicy upgrade. Daftar, the Indian restaurant known for nostalgic flavours, muted luxury, and dishes that tug at your soul, has launched something fresh: Midweek Comedy Nights. And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like, punchlines and papads all under one roof.

DIFC’s First Indian Restaurant To Host Bi-Weekly Comedy Nights

Daftar isn’t just throwing another comedy gig. It’s Dubai’s first Indian restaurant in the DIFC district to roll out a regular stand-up series. Every other Wednesday, the restaurant transforms into a laughter lounge thanks to a killer collaboration with Flamingo Live. The vibe? Think charming nostalgia meets contemporary cool, with a lineup of international comics delivering comedy that hits just right.

Shows kick off at 8:30 pm, but you’ll want to get in when doors open at 8 pm to grab the best seats and settle in. The next laugh fest hits on May 14 and again on May 28, both Wednesdays. For just AED 75, you get a ticket and two drinks, which is a total steal for a DIFC night out.

What’s On The Menu?

Food at Daftar is anything but background noise. While you cackle, you’ll be tucking into bites like the Mushroom Galouti, Cajun Chicken Tikka, or the cult-favourite Jhol Momos. Still hungry? The Awadhi Biryani and Rogan Josh are ready to comfort your soul, while the Orange Quinoa Kheer adds just the right sweet ending.

It’s a full-on culinary experience with a desi twist and an extra shot of humour. Whether you’re a regular on the DIFC scene or just tagging along for something different, Daftar’s charm and cheeky energy make it the new midweek must-do.
