New Delhi : The LaLiT Suri Hospitality Group is widely acclaimed for its commitment to inclusivity and innovative experiences, and one such initiative is Drag Brunch, organized on the second Sunday of every month at the OKO restaurants of Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, hosted by popular drag queens and drag kings. The Drag Brunch is not just about exquisite food and impeccable service; it’s a celebration of diversity, acceptance and joy.
The Drag Brunch features performances by some of India’s most celebrated queens, including Betta Naan Stop, Lush Monsoons, Cologne Doll, Queen Shivangi, and Sickk. These charming personalities bring their electrifying performances and signature blend of humour, music and dance to the stage, creating an unforgettable experience for guests of all ages. Prateek Sachdeva, better known as Betta Naan Stop, is a mainstream drag artist in the Indian LGBTQIA+ community and one of the headliner performers at The LaLiT Group’s queer nightlife club chain, Kitty Su. With over six years of experience in drag, Betta’s performances are a highlight of the Drag Brunch, captivating the audience with her energy and charisma.
The thoughtfully crafted menu at the Drag Brunch is a testament to OKO’s reputation for culinary innovation and excellence. Its culinary team curates a sumptuous spread of Asian delicacies that perfectly complements the captivating entertainment. The guests are served with a variety of pan-Asian dishes from Thai, Japanese and Chinese cuisines. The brunch menu features innovative concepts like an exotic sushi counter, a dedicated dim sum station, live teppanyaki, and a lavish main course spread. Complementing the delectable cuisine, the Drag Brunch also offers a selection of exquisite cocktails expertly handcrafted by mixologists with a creative flair to delight the senses.
By hosting such events in a family-friendly environment, The LaLiT aims to normalize drag culture and create a safe space for everyone to enjoy. This initiative reflects its endeavour to push boundaries and foster a culture of acceptance. It brings colourful people together to celebrate diversity and offers a feast for both the palate and the eyes. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time guest, the Drag Brunch will leave you with lasting memories and a newfound appreciation for the vibrant drag culture.
LGBTQIA+ communities have long faced marginalization and discrimination in various aspects of society. The Drag Brunches at The LaLiT provide an interactive platform for these communities to socialize, express themselves freely, and find acceptance. These events not only give LGBTQIA+ individuals a space to celebrate their identities but also invite allies and other members of society to join in the festivities. By doing so, the Drag Brunches help bridge the gap between different communities, promoting understanding, respect and solidarity. These expressions push the freedom struggle of the community, furthering the cause of equality and inclusion for all.
The second Sunday of the month is already near. So, why miss this delightful experience like no other? Dine with us, embrace the joy, savour the flavours and celebrate the spirit of inclusivity.
