Members of the San Diego dance company entertained the guests with their flowing and vibrant costumes as they danced to the Indian beat. The launching was sealed with a sumptuous dinner buffet at Café Marco where the guests enjoyed Indian dishes such as fish sarsowali, chicken biryani, dhal makhani, fish tikka salad and so much more! All the guests went home with a golden box full of Ms. Judeline Murjani's special recipe of Indian sweets.
