About South Indian Vegetarian Event Catering
Why We Do What We Do
Food is more than just a business for us. It’s our way of sharing what we grew up with - that warmth of namma oota (our food), the taste that brings back childhood memories. I want your event to feel like home, with every bite.
What Makes Our Food Special
We stick to authentic Brahmin vegetarian recipes, just like how they're made at home during big festivals or family gatherings. It's always sattvic - simple, pure, and full of flavour, but never too spicy. I tweak spice levels so even that strict ajja (grandpa) and the youngest cousin can enjoy the meal without fuss.
Events We Love Doing
You’ll see us mostly at weddings and receptions - that’s our main thing. Our Brahmin wedding catering is known for elaborate spreads and smooth service. We also cover traditional functions like Gruhapravesha, Upanayana, and all sorts of family pujas. Festivals? No problem. We take on Yugadi, Onam, Vishu feasts and more. Even for office parties or birthdays, I make sure there’s a vegetarian menu that stands out.
What’s On The Plate?
Menus are custom, but regulars ask for banana leaf sadya meal, idlis, medhu vadais, ghee pongal, poori with chenna masala, chutneys, sambhar, and of course, filter coffee. I put together spreads that match your occasion and mood.
Service You Can Count On
It’s not just food. From setup to cleanup, we handle it all. For weddings, I can also help with stuff like flower decoration and nadaswaram, so you don’t have to juggle a million things. Just enjoy your event, let us handle the kitchen and beyond.

This is more than business; it's being part of your happy days.
