It’s hard to make friends as an adult. It’s easy at a table of six.

How six strangers end up at one table

  1. You, somewhere in Delhi.
  2. Five others, just as new here.
  3. One table. One empty chair. Sunday, 7 PM.

How it works

    Take the quiz.

    Eight questions about how you think, not what you do. No profile, no photos.

This Sunday, your table could have two writers. an architect. an oncologist. someone who won’t say what they do.

A real table, as one member described it.

What members say

  • “The venue was great, the food/drinks were amazing and the company was fun.” A member in Delhi, after a third table.
  • “The group was very well matched with lots of diversity. Genuine people. We only broke up because the restaurant was closing. We shared numbers and made a WhatsApp group!” A member, after a first table.
  • “Super fun, with each one having an absolutely different personality. Would surely love to catch up again.” A member, after a second table.

Most people who rate their table name someone they would like to meet again.

Safe, by design.

  • ID check first.

    Everyone uploads a government ID before their first dinner.

  • Public places only.

    Groups of six at restaurants. Never one-on-one, never at a home.

  • Balanced tables.

    Every table is balanced by design. Women-only nights on request.

  • Zero tolerance.

    Harassment or pushy behaviour means you are out, right away.

₹1,999

a month, for up to four Sunday dinners.

You pay for your own food at the table. Cancel anytime.

Take the quiz

Questions people ask.

No. It is six people at one table, set up for good conversation. Some people do meet partners, but that is not the point.

No. It is just the six of you. That is why it feels like a night out, not an event.

Usually the Wednesday after your quiz. If we cannot make a good table of six yet, it moves to the next week.

You can leave whenever you want, and tell us how it went. A real person reads every table before it goes out.

No. Your membership includes four invites a month (three or four in your first month). Invites you don’t use expire when your month ends. If you have a genuine reason, write to hello@oddtables.com with the details and we’ll look at it, but we can’t promise an extension.

Delhi, and 13 other cities: Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Surat, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Indore, Kochi, Trivandrum, Dehradun. More cities open as each one fills up.
