About Gourmet Appetizers & Starters
When we serve starters, it is more than just putting food on a table. Our uniformed staff ensures every guest gets served directly using gloves and provided toothpicks, so your guests can mingle comfortably without worrying about messy fingers or searching for a bin to dispose of skewers. Whether it is our crispy Cheese Corn Nuggets or mini Punjabi Samosas, we focus on the presentation and the ease of eating so you can focus entirely on your guests.
Great appetizers do more than just fill the gap before the main course. They set the tone for your party, and we know exactly how to get that right. At Bombay Essence, we specialize in Pure Vegetarian and Jain-friendly appetizers that bridge the gap between traditional comfort and modern tastes.
Our Approach to Starters
We don't believe in boring finger food. Whether you are hosting a corporate meet in Powai or a birthday party in Kandivali, our menu is designed to be interactive and easy to eat. You will find global favorites like Mexican Tacos and Coin Pizzas alongside desi staples like Paneer Schezwan Fingers and mini Punjabi Samosas. We constantly experiment with fusion because we know your guests want variety.
Why Choose Our Service
- Service Style: We handle everything. Our team arrives with the setup, including smart tables and linens, and manages service so you do not have to.
- Dietary Flexibility: All our appetizer options are 100% vegetarian, with dedicated Jain-friendly preparations available upon request. We ensure there is no cross-contamination.
- Freshness: We believe in cooking on the spot where possible. For live stations, we bring the tawa, wok, and fryer to ensure your guests get the food hot and crisp, not soggy from sitting in a chafing dish.
