Thu Mar 06 10:27:34 UTC 2025: ## Unique Pop-Up Dining Experience Takes Hyderabad by Storm
**Hyderabad, March 6, 2025** – A novel pop-up dining experience, “You Can Sit With Us” (YCSWU), is transforming everyday locations like supermarkets and art galleries into exclusive, themed restaurants. Founded by Sonali Pamnani Jhabakh, YCSWU offers multi-course meals coupled with curated discussions and activities, creating immersive dining experiences unlike any other.
Each YCSWU event features a unique theme and location, from a childhood nostalgia-themed dinner at the Kadri Art Gallery to a reimagined breakfast menu at Q Mart supermarket. Chefs craft unconventional dishes tailored to the theme and audience, ensuring a diverse and engaging culinary journey. For example, one event saw a classic breakfast transformed, with savory “cereal bowls” replacing traditional sweet options.
The initiative also incorporates interactive elements. A recent pop-up at Food Stories, a gourmet store, included a two-act play performed between courses. This element, alongside carefully chosen venues and meticulously planned atmospheres, fosters connections among diners, leading to lasting friendships and even post-dinner WhatsApp groups.
YCSWU’s founder, inspired by her work with a women’s networking community, emphasizes the power of shared experiences in building genuine connections. The dinners, designed for adults only, are held monthly, with themes and venues changing each time. Capacity varies depending on the location, with the largest group accommodating 30 diners.
