Kathmandu’s culinary scene witnessed something extraordinary on August 21st and 22nd, as Le Sherpa Restaurant partnered with Manzo, Dhaka, to host an exclusive dining event – The Seafood Soirée. This private, reservation-only gathering was graced by the artistry of Chef Zohra Maliha, a Le Cordon Bleu alum renowned for redefining Dhaka’s fine dining experience.

A Fusion of Cultures on a Plate

Chef Zohra is celebrated for her ability to blend classical French techniques with local Bangladeshi ingredients, creating dishes that are as soulful as they are refined. At this soirée, she brought her signature flair to Kathmandu, curating a tasting menu that told stories through each course. Guests didn’t just eat – they experienced a journey of flavors, traditions, and innovation woven together. The evening unfolded with a carefully crafted lineup that reflected Chef Zohra’s philosophy of balance and depth. Each dish carried the essence of Bangladesh, yet was elevated with French precision and artistry.

A Personal Touch

What made the evening truly special was Chef Zohra’s interaction with the guests. She personally visited tables to introduce the dishes, sharing the inspiration and thought process behind each creation. This intimate connection turned the dinner into more than just a meal – it became a storytelling experience.

An Exclusive Affair

The Seafood Soirée was a private event open only to those who had reserved a table, making it feel like an exclusive culinary gathering. With carefully curated courses, elegant ambiance, and a chef who values connection as much as craft, the event created lasting memories for those in attendance.

Crafting Stories on a Plate

As The Daily Star once described, “Chef Zohra doesn’t just serve food – she crafts stories on a plate.” This was precisely what unfolded at Le Sherpa: a story of heritage, innovation, and passion, shared over plates that celebrated both Bangladesh’s flavors and global techniques.

The Seafood Soirée wasn’t just a dining event; it was a cultural exchange, a celebration of creativity, and proof of how food can transcend borders to connect people through shared experiences.
