Events celebrating Arab and North African culture

El Naadi evenings bring the warmth of the family parties we grew up with to those who miss it, and those who have never experienced it.

Welcome to the club.

El Naadi (النادي) means “the club” in Arabic. Ours is fuelled by food, drinks and music from the SWANA region: family recipes, carefully curated menus designed to evoke a taste of home, and live music from artists in the diaspora.

One ticket covers the lot. Sit down, eat well, and stay for the dancing.

Eat

Mezze built on family recipes. Baba’s ta’miya and mama’s sawareekh are made by us, and the rest comes from suppliers in the region wherever we can.

Drink

Lebanese wine from the Bekaa Valley, cold beer, Egyptian malt drinks and Palestine sodas. Mint tea to close the night.

Dance

Live sets from SWANA artists based in the UK. Our goal is to give emerging artists a stage.
