Thaal-e-Zaika: Royal Mughlai Feasts for Your Next Gathering
Forget individual plates. Our Thaals are royal feasts designed for sharing, bringing the heart of Old Delhi straight to your Mumbai table. From slow-cooked Mutton Raan to aromatic biryanis, these platters are made for celebrations.

The star of the Akbari Thaal, our Mutton Raan, is presented here drenched in a rich Malai sauce. The meat is slow-cooked until it is exceptionally tender, falling right off the bone.

About Thaal-e-Zaika: The Royal Feasts
Ordering a Thaal is the ultimate hack for hosting without the headache. You aren’t just serving dinner; you’re setting up a dastarkhwan (spread) where every dish is designed to be shared. Whether it’s the Akbari Thaal for a family get-together or the Dostana Thaal for a squad night, these platters save you the stress of juggling multiple bowls, keeping the focus squarely on the food and the conversation.
When you host with a Thaal, you’re trading the chaos of a buffet line for the warmth of communal dining. At Delhi Zaika, we’ve taken the traditional Mughlai concept of the dastarkhwan and scaled it for modern Mumbai homes and venues.
Why our Thaals work for your event:
- Variety without the clutter: Each Thaal is a curated ecosystem. You get the Tandoori starters, the slow-cooked signature gravies, the Biryani, and the breads all in one visual centerpiece.
- Royal Aesthetics: We use brass and copper-finish dishes to recreate that authentic Mughal-era vibe. It’s not just food; it’s a talking point.
- Efficiency: For a party of 4 to 12, a Thaal setup is faster to serve and easier to manage. No need for complex plating or multiple servers hovering—just place the Thaal, and the feast begins.
Choosing your Thaal:
The Akbari Thaal is our flagship. It’s for the heavy hitters—Mutton Raan, Nalli Nihari, Butter Chicken, and kebabs. It’s built for heavy, sit-down dinners where the food is the main event.
The Dostana Thaal is lighter, faster, and built for groups who want to snack and talk. We mix in Indo-Chinese fusion here with the Mughlai classics, making it a hit for casual office parties or reunions.
We cater across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area. Whether you’re hosting at a venue in South Mumbai or a home party in the suburbs, we bring the setup, the serving team, and the authentic Zaika, leaving you with nothing to do but play host.
