The neighbourhood house is hosting two community dinners this month, one featuring cuisine from Brazil, while the second will serve Indian food.

Have you ever wondered what they eat for dinner in Brazil? Or perhaps you’re craving the warmth of spices from India?

The Burnaby Neighbourhood House is hosting two community dinners this month, and the featured cultures are Brazil and India.

“People should come out to possibly make a connection they haven’t had before, to eat something that is delicious and maybe is something they’ve never eaten before and to come out and have a fun time,” said Danny Kalivoda, the neighbourhood house’s manager of community engagement.

The Brazilian event is on Tuesday, May 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. The cost for dinner is $5 for adults or $3 for children. Besides food, the dinner will include trivia and activities. This event is part of the ongoing Sharing Cultures series, where community members organize an evening that showcases food and entertainment from a particular country. The goal is to bring people together to bridge the gap between Canadians and newer immigrants.

The Indian dinner is on Sunday May 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at 4460 Beresford St. The costs is $3 for adults and $2 for children. This event is hosted by the Rotaract Club of Burnaby and the neighbourhood house.

You must buy tickets in advance at the Burnaby Neighbourhood House.
