About this collection
Forget the standard buffet trays. We serve our starters on signature multi-tiered birdcage stands right at your table, adding a bit of theatre to the meal before anyone even touches the main course.
When you choose our starters, you get more than just food. We believe that before a guest takes the first bite, the plate should grab their attention. That is why we focus on dramatic displays, using everything from dry ice smoke to custom fruit carvings, to ensure your welcome spread is the highlight of the event.
Our menu is built on a foundation of classic Mughlai recipes we have perfected over time. You will find a variety of kebabs, tikkas, and fried delicacies, all prepared with the spices we love. Whether you prefer the crunch of our crumb-fried fish and prawns or the tenderness of our malai cheese sticks, we have a mix that caters to everyone at your party.
We don't just dump food in a chafing dish. For sit-down 'Dastarkhwan' events, our servers bring these platters directly to your guests, keeping the experience personal and elegant. If you have a specific theme in mind, or if you want to mix and match between our non-veg favorites and our paneer or gobi tikka options, we are happy to customize the list. If you want to see how we work, visit our office in Frazer Town, and we can arrange a tasting session so you can experience the flavors firsthand.
