# How to book a caterer for a birthday, anniversary or office party in Bengaluru

Most caterers here charge by the plate, and the plate price is often not the whole bill. We spoke to five Bengaluru caterers on mytribe about how a party order really goes. We read the 174 requests for catering people sent us from April to 18 October, leaving out weddings and rituals. This guide has what a plate costs, what it leaves out, who comes for 20 guests and how much food to order.

174 catering requests since April · 9 caterers on mytribe · Updated 19 Oct 2026, prices dated below

Prices are what each caterer told us or published. Every total for a guest count is our sum of those prices, so check every price when you book.

## Q1. What does catering cost per plate in Bengaluru, veg and non-veg?

**A buffet with servers is about ₹250 to ₹650 a plate for veg and ₹480 to ₹950 for non-veg. Party boxes are ₹100 to ₹250 each. The cheapest way is to cook it yourself, about ₹110 to ₹170 a head for chicken biryani, raita and a sweet, by our estimate.** Transport, and GST at some caterers, come on top. Live counters and more starters take a buffet up to ₹900 or more.

- **Cook it yourself:** ₹110 to ₹170 a head. Our estimate for chicken biryani, raita and a sweet, ingredients only. Mutton biryani is ₹175 to ₹230. ![Illustration: a home kitchen with a big steel pot of biryani on the gas stove, a bowl of raita, a tray of gulab jamun, a sack of rice and a bag of onions](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru/cook-yourself-fb405e939e.png) Picture: Illustration.
- **Party boxes, one for each guest:** ₹100 to ₹250 a box. Snacksparty ₹100 to ₹250, Smart Chef from ₹200, Diviskitchen about ₹230 for four picks (October 2025). No one to serve. ![Rows of black sectioned party boxes, each with red sauce pasta, a paratha, a veg cutlet, a vegetable stir fry and a cup of dip](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/22a9372b-d4ab-4f4b-b7c4-c621cfc4f6ec) Picture: Diviskitchen.
- **Food delivered in containers, nobody to serve:** From ₹199 to ₹270 a head. ₹199 a plate is a cloud kitchen's biryani combo for large bulk orders. For 8 to 35 guests, a biryani chain's party pack starts at ₹270 a person, with plates and cutlery. ![Illustration: open white tubs of curries, rice and noodles on a dining table, two foil parcels of rotis, paper plates, wooden spoons and tissues](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru/delivered-containers-1ecdc4dcf1.png) Picture: Illustration.
- **High tea or an evening snack spread:** ₹180 to ₹320 a head. Upendar Caterers' range. Snacksparty's hi-tea is ₹300 a head from 35 guests, plus a ₹2,500 service charge. ![A snack spread on a black and white checked cloth: crostinis and quesadillas on stands, a wooden board of snacks, and a wooden ladder stand of paper cups](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bb95b47c-195b-40de-bdc0-fcaaa313e839) Picture: BookMyPartyFood.
- **A veg buffet with servers:** ₹250 to ₹650 a plate. Sri Lakshmi Caterers ₹250 from 50 guests, Snacksparty ₹300 and ₹350, BookMyPartyFood ₹350 to ₹550, Bhandary's Kitchen ₹350 to ₹650 plus 5% GST, Smart Chef from ₹550. Transport is usually extra. ![Illustration: a veg buffet in a clubhouse hall, a frill-skirted table with five chafing dishes, a stack of steel plates, a covered dustbin and two servers](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru/veg-buffet-servers-b3105c90cd.png) Picture: Illustration.
- **A non-veg buffet with servers:** ₹480 to ₹950 a plate. Mirakle Events from ₹480, Bhandary's Kitchen ₹500 and ₹950, BookMyPartyFood's ₹599 menu. ![Illustration: a non-veg buffet in a party hall, six chafing dishes with curries, biryani, pulao and rotis, trays of chicken and paneer tikka, gulab jamun, ice cream and one server](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru/nonveg-buffet-3dff2ae2f3.png) Picture: Illustration.
- **Chef-made canapés passed round:** ₹1,500 to ₹3,500 a head. Amiel Gourmet's French high tea from ₹1,500 a head for 40 or more (₹2,500 under 40), and buffets at ₹2,500 and ₹3,500, plus taxes and transport. ![A platter of canapés on tartlets and toasts, some with wooden picks, topped with herbs and red berries, under the words A platter for every palate](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e59f20ee-5140-4f75-8e3c-1b3986df36bc) Picture: Amiel Gourmet.

**The menu moves the price most.** Paneer, mutton and more starters push a plate up, and so do live counters, which add about ₹150 to ₹400 a head by Bhandary's Kitchen's guide to Bengaluru prices. Caterers outside mytribe price the same way: Sri Lakshmi Caterers' birthday menu is ₹250 a plate from 50 guests, and Sukhdev Caterers' veg buffets for 100 run from ₹450 to ₹900.

**What people told us they wanted to spend a head**

- Snack boxes for a birthday: ₹150 a box
- A seated dinner for 80: ₹230, up to ₹280
- An office buffet lunch: ₹300
- A non-veg birthday buffet for 300: ₹300 to ₹400
- South Indian breakfast and lunch for 30: About ₹350
- A kids' evening party, 15 adults and 12 children: ₹500 on average
- Snack boxes for an office event of 60: ₹600
- A pure-veg buffet with servers for 35: ₹700
- A dinner for 60, more starters than mains: ₹700 to ₹800, then up to ₹900
- A veg North Indian lunch buffet for 40: ₹1,000
- A house party for 40, servers passing starters: ₹1,300 at most

The per-head budgets 11 people gave in their own WhatsApp messages, of the 174 who asked mytribe about catering for a party or an office event from April to 18 October 2026.

**Five of the 11 had ₹400 a head or less in mind, the other six ₹500 to ₹1,300.** The lower budgets were for boxes, an office lunch or a simple buffet, and the higher ones were for a fuller spread, more starters or servers. A budget under ₹300 fits boxes or food in containers better than a buffet with servers.

The pictures of cooking it yourself, food in containers and the two buffets are illustrations of only what that price buys; the others are photos from each caterer's gallery, not that exact price.

## Q2. Should I order food boxes, food delivered in containers, or a buffet with servers?

**For under about 15 guests, order boxes, or food delivered in containers that you set out and serve yourselves. From 15, Diviskitchen sends a buffet with servers, and from 30 to 35 most caterers do: Snacksparty's for 35 comes to ₹13,000 with servers, tables, plates and three hours of service, about ₹370 a head.** For a group of 8 to 35, a biryani chain's party pack in containers starts at ₹270 a head, but the serving and clearing are yours.

**Party boxes** come one a guest, sealed, so there's nothing to serve and no plates to wash. They suit a kids' party and an office desk lunch. Diviskitchen builds a box from four sections, and you can take two or three picks from one. Its boxes are to be eaten within six hours.

![Diviskitchen's Party in a box menu card: mini bites, baked bites, mini serves like red sauce pasta, hakka noodles and veg biryani, and mini sides like gobi manchurian and chilli paneer](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/dbbc3ff8-d3fb-4ff5-b640-64125036a73e) Diviskitchen's box menu: one pick from each of four sections makes a box of about ₹230. Photo: Diviskitchen.

**Food in containers** comes in tubs or hot cases with plates and spoons, and nobody stays to serve. A cloud kitchen says its hot cases keep food hot for 2 to 3 hours, so ask when it will arrive. You set it out, serve and clear.

![Party food in white tubs on a dark table: curries, a chilli dish, noodles, fried rice, a corn salad and a sweet, with a crate of cups and wooden spoons and a foil parcel](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d239879d-d11b-454c-a854-ad951f226af7) Snacksparty's drop-off: food in tubs, with plates, spoons and tissues, and no one to serve. From their own post. Photo: Snacksparty.

**A buffet with servers** brings chafing dishes to keep the food hot, a table, plates, and staff who serve and clear for about three hours. For 35 guests, Snacksparty's comes to about ₹100 a head more than a biryani chain's party pack in containers, and nobody in the family spends the party in the kitchen.

**A grazing table** is a styled spread of snacks and sweets people help themselves to, set out like a display. Smart Chef's start from ₹25,000 for the setup, the same for a kids' party, and they quote once they know how many items, how many mocktails and how many guests.

![Potato smileys on a round wooden stand with lion king toppers on sticks, on a yellow table with sunflowers and leaves, part of a themed grazing table](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9ece41bb-6ea0-4030-8348-a018398d6809) A corner of one of Smart Chef's themed grazing tables for a kids' party. Photo: Smart Chef Catering.

**Behind this answer:** [Snacksparty](https://mytribe.in/snacksparty.in)'s ₹300 birthday buffet for 35 is ₹10,500 plus its ₹2,500 service charge, so about ₹371 a head. Food in containers: Bagara Biryani Cafe's party packs, from ₹270 a person for 8 to 35 guests, and Punjabi Curry House's ₹199 for large bulk orders, from their own pages. Snacksparty's drop-off photo is from its post of August 2025. [Diviskitchen](https://mytribe.in/diviskitchen_homelyfood)'s box menu, October 2025.

## Q3. Will a caterer come for just 20 or 30 people?

**At 20, your choices are boxes, food delivered for you to serve, Diviskitchen's buffet with servers from 15 guests, or at the top end Amiel Gourmet's French buffet from 20. Most other caterers start at 30 to 50.** A small party pays more a head, because the service and transport are shared by fewer people: KVG Caterers' menu works out to ₹420 a plate for 30 and ₹290 for 100.

**Who comes for your guest count**

- **Under 15** (Boxes from 10): **Order boxes, or food you serve yourselves.** Diviskitchen sends boxes from 10, about ₹230 each for four picks (October 2025), and Smart Chef from about 10, from ₹200 a box. No caterer here sends servers for this few.
- **15 to 30** (Diviskitchen from 15): **Diviskitchen is the one caterer here with a buffet and servers from 15.** Its food is ₹300 to ₹550 a plate (October 2025), and a ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 service charge covers delivery, two to five staff, chafing dishes, tables, plates and washing up. For 15 guests that charge adds about ₹200 to ₹330 a head. Amiel Gourmet's French buffet takes 20 or more, from ₹2,500 a head. Snacksparty sends boxes from 20, and BookMyPartyFood starts at 30.
- **30 to 50** (Most start here): **Most caterers start here.** BookMyPartyFood takes 30 or more and Snacksparty's buffet 35 or more, with menus from ₹300 to ₹550 a plate. Under 50, Bhandary's Kitchen sends food without staff for about 35 to 50 on weekdays and adds a flat ₹5,000, and Smart Chef sends food only, paid in full up front.
- **50 to 100** (Most caterers here): **Most caterers here take this.** Smart Chef, Bhandary's Kitchen and Brunch N Bite start at 50, Bhandary's told us it has no top limit, and Diviskitchen goes up to 100. The plate price falls as the count goes up: KVG Caterers' menu works out to ₹330 a plate for 50 and ₹290 for 100.

**A small party pays more a head.** The van, the servers and the chafing dishes cost the caterer much the same for 20 guests as for 50. KVG Caterers' package, with service, transport and plates, is ₹12,600 for 30 and ₹29,000 for 100. Another caterer outside mytribe, Hii Bangalore, prices its cheapest lunch menu at about ₹353 a head for 30 and ₹250 for 100.

Divya, who runs Diviskitchen from her own kitchen in Horamavu, keeps to parties of up to 100:

> "Our aim is from the small, not more than 100."

> [Divya, Diviskitchen](https://mytribe.in/diviskitchen_homelyfood), on a call with mytribe, September 2026.

**Behind this answer:** Each caterer's own minimum: [Diviskitchen](https://mytribe.in/diviskitchen_homelyfood) 15 for a buffet and 10 boxes; [Smart Chef Catering](https://mytribe.in/smartchefcatering) 50, boxes from about 10; [Snacksparty](https://mytribe.in/snacksparty.in) 35, boxes 20; [BookMyPartyFood](https://mytribe.in/bookmypartyfood) 30; [Amiel Gourmet](https://mytribe.in/amiel_gourmet) 20 for a buffet; [Bhandary's Kitchen](https://mytribe.in/bhandaryskitchen) and [Brunch N Bite](https://mytribe.in/brunchnbite) 50. KVG Caterers and Hii Bangalore from their own pages, read 18 October 2026; the per-head figures are their package price divided by the guests.

## Q4. How much food do I order for 50 people, and how many kg of biryani?

**With a caterer you order one plate a guest. Buying biryani by the kilo, plan about 300 g cooked an adult when it's the main dish, so about 15 kg for 50.** Ask whether children count as full plates: at Bhandary's Kitchen children aged 5 to 10 pay half on buffets, and Smart Chef charges them the same as adults.

**Biryani as one dish among many needs far less.** For a full buffet for 100, Sukhdev Caterers plans 9 to 10 kg of cooked veg dum biryani or jeera rice for the rice course, about 100 g a guest. So a kilo feeds about three adults if it's the only main, and about ten in a full spread. A biryani caterer's own guide says to order 5 to 10% extra.

**Biryani by the plate** is about ₹180 to ₹300 for chicken and ₹250 to ₹450 for mutton, by Hallijonne Biriyani's guide. A biryani chain's party pack starts at ₹270 a person with plates and accompaniments, for 8 to 35 guests. On this page, biryani comes as one dish on a caterer's menu: Bhandary's Kitchen's ₹950 non-veg buffet has chicken or Hyderabad dum biryani.

**Say which rice you want.** BookMyPartyFood cooks biryani with short-grain South Indian rice unless you ask for basmati, at the same price.

**Count everyone who eats.** The photographer, the decorator's team and any helpers are plates too. 

**Behind this answer:** 300 g an adult and 5 to 10% extra: Hallijonne Biriyani's own guide. 9 to 10 kg for 100: Sukhdev Caterers' own guide, 11 August 2026. Party pack: Bagara Biryani Cafe's own page. Children: [Bhandary's Kitchen](https://mytribe.in/bhandaryskitchen)'s menus and [Smart Chef Catering](https://mytribe.in/smartchefcatering) on a call. [BookMyPartyFood](https://mytribe.in/bookmypartyfood)'s rice, its own record.

## Q5. What's not included in a caterer's per plate price?

**Often the servers, plates and crockery, transport and GST, and sometimes the tables. A veg buffet for 50 works out to about ₹16,500 to ₹32,500 at six caterers we priced, and at two of them servers, crockery or transport still come on top. So ask each one for a single written total for your guest count.**

| Caterer | The plate | On top | 50 guests |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVG Caterers. Pure veg, Banashankari | ₹16,500 package for 50 | Nothing: service, transport, buffet setup, plates and water cans are in it. GST isn't mentioned | ₹16,500 |
| Snacksparty. Veg and eggless, HSR Layout | ₹350 a plate, your own menu | ₹2,500 service charge: servers, warmers, tables, plates and three hours of service. GST isn't stated | ₹20,000 |
| BookMyPartyFood. Koramangala | ₹350 a plate, on its sample menu for 30. It quotes each party fresh | ₹2,500 transport. Servers, crockery and serveware are separate lines: ask | ₹20,000, and servers and crockery on top |
| Bhandary's Kitchen. Adugodi | ₹400 a plate, classic veg | 5% GST and ₹2,000 transport within 15 km. Servers, chafing dishes, crockery and water cans are in the plate | About ₹23,000 |
| Diviskitchen. Pure veg, Horamavu | ₹300 to ₹550 a plate | ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 service charge: delivery, 2 to 5 staff, chafing dishes, tables, plates and washing up | ₹18,000 to ₹32,500 |
| Smart Chef Catering. Dasarahalli | From ₹550 a plate | Servers at about ₹1,000 each, 3 or 4 for 50 guests. Crockery and transport extra. No tables or chairs | From about ₹30,500, and crockery and transport on top |

What a veg buffet for 50 works out to, by our sums at each caterer's own price; two rows still leave out servers, crockery or transport. KVG's from its website, read 18 October 2026; Diviskitchen's told to mytribe in October 2025; the rest from 2026.

**Ask who brings the tables.** Smart Chef brings the food and the servers, but no tables or chairs. Nazia, who runs it, told us that's the thing hosts most often assume wrongly.

**Ask who clears up.** At Bhandary's Kitchen the staff clean up their own buffet but don't clean the floor. Diviskitchen hires and washes its own chafing dishes and plates. Snacksparty's service includes covered dustbins.

**Ask for GST on the quote.** Bhandary's Kitchen adds 5%. BookMyPartyFood charges no GST to individuals and adds it for companies. Amiel Gourmet's prices are plus taxes. Snacksparty, Smart Chef and Diviskitchen don't state it, so get it written on the quote.

**Plastic plates are banned in Karnataka.** The state's ban covers plastic plates and spoons, so ask what the plates are made of. KVG's packages come with melamine plates, and Diviskitchen's with disposable or steel ones.

**Water is easy to forget.** Bhandary's Kitchen puts water cans in the plate price and charges bottles at MRP. BookMyPartyFood's two bigger menus include a water can.

GST: the GST Council's note of September 2025 for restaurants. The ban: the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board.

## Q6. Why does one caterer charge more than another for the same dish?

**Mostly for the people and the service. Chicken biryani for 50 is about ₹180 to ₹250 a plate from a neighbourhood biryani kitchen and ₹450 to ₹600 from a premium caterer, by our estimate. By our sums, better rice, chicken and ghee explain only about ₹50 to ₹100 of that gap.** The rest pays for a trained chef, servers for the evening, how the food is set out, and the name.

- **A neighbourhood kitchen:** Delivered in a big pot. You serve. ![An illustration of chicken biryani for 50 from a neighbourhood kitchen: a big aluminium pot with its lid off, a steel bowl of raita and one of salan, a stack of paper plates on a dining table in a Bengaluru flat](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru/biryani-modest-9d1e583fd1.png)
- **A premium caterer:** Opened at the buffet. Servers plate it. ![An illustration of chicken biryani for 50 from a premium caterer: a copper dum handi with its dough seal just opened beside polished chafing dishes on a white buffet, porcelain plates and flowers, a server in white gloves serving](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru/biryani-premium-8f9e18ac23.png)
Illustrations of the same dish served two ways. They are not any caterer's work. Photos: Illustration by mytribe.

| Chicken biryani for 50 | A neighbourhood kitchen | A premium caterer |
|---|---|---|
| The price | ₹180 to ₹250 a plate. About ₹9,000 to ₹12,500 for 50 | ₹450 to ₹600 a plate. About ₹22,500 to ₹30,000 for 50 |
| Rice and chicken | Everyday basmati, chicken on the bone, cooked in oil | Aged long-grain basmati, boneless or bigger pieces, ghee and saffron |
| How it's served | In a big pot or trays, with raita and salan. You set it out | Kept hot in chafing dishes, or the sealed pot opened in front of guests, on good crockery |
| Who cooks | A cook who makes biryani in bulk every day | A chef trained in hotels or restaurants, with a team |
| On the day | Delivered. You serve and clear | Servers plate it, keep it topped up and clear, for three or four hours |
| The name | Known in the area, found by word of mouth | A name your guests may know, and part of the price is for that |
| Our caterers like this | Snacksparty (from ₹300 a person), Diviskitchen (₹300 to ₹550 a plate), BookMyPartyFood (from ₹350), Bhandary's Kitchen (from ₹350), Mirakle Events (veg from ₹380) | Amiel Gourmet (French buffet from ₹2,500 a head), Oxalis Fine Dining (a chef cooks at your home, from ₹6,000 a guest) |

The same plate, chicken biryani as the main dish, one plate a guest. The biryani prices are our estimate of a typical version. The last row names our caterers who work each way, with their own starting prices for their own menus.

**Better ingredients are the smallest part.** Boneless chicken is about ₹450 a kg in Bengaluru, against ₹260 on the bone, and that adds about ₹25 a plate. Aged rice, ghee and saffron add a little more, so roughly ₹50 to ₹100 a plate in all, by our estimate.

**Servers are a bigger part.** Smart Chef charges about ₹1,000 a server and sends 3 or 4 for 50 guests. That works out to ₹60 to ₹80 a plate, by our sum. Whatever is left pays for the chef's years in the trade, how the table looks, and the name.

**At the very top, you pay for the chef and the name.** Amiel Gourmet is Chef Amiel Guerin's, from Brittany in France, in India since 2010. Its French buffet, a different menu from biryani, starts at ₹2,500 a head for 20 guests, plus taxes and transport, with setup, service and clearing up in the price. Its brochure lists the French chef at your party as an add-on.

**In between, Smart Chef and Authana.** Smart Chef starts at ₹550 a plate, with servers at about ₹1,000 each on top. Authana starts at ₹575 a plate.

**What's worth paying for depends on the party.** For a house party where family serves, a good neighbourhood biryani does the job, and most of the extra buys things your guests won't miss. If the guests are clients, or elders you won't let queue at a buffet, the servers and the way it's set out matter more. Either way, order a small portion first and taste it.

**Ask the same things for any dish.** For paneer tikka or dal makhani too, ask what rice, oil or paneer they use, who cooks, how many servers come and for how long, and how the food is set out. If two caterers give the same answers and one still costs much more, the extra is for the name.

**Behind this answer:** The table is our estimate, with no caterer named. The neighbourhood price is built from Hallijonne Biriyani's own guide (chicken biryani ₹180 to ₹300 a plate), Bagara Biryani Cafe's party packs (from ₹270 a person with starters and accompaniments) and our ingredient sum of ₹70 to ₹95 a plate of biryani. No premium caterer we looked at publishes a per-plate biryani price; As a loose cross-check only, Bengaluru hoteliers warned in May 2026 that a restaurant biryani could go to nearly ₹500 (Deccan Herald, 26 May 2026); that figure is for a restaurant plate. Chicken ₹260 a kg, ₹450 boneless: Oneindia, 18 October 2026. Servers: [Smart Chef Catering](https://mytribe.in/smartchefcatering) on a call.

## Q7. Can I get pure veg, Jain or vegan food, or veg cooked apart from non-veg?

**Diviskitchen, Snacksparty and Nature Kitchen cook only vegetarian food. Bhandary's Kitchen cooks veg and non-veg in separate vessels, and no pork or beef. BookMyPartyFood cooks both in one kitchen.** None of the caterers here is a vegan caterer, and Smart Chef has no Jain menu, so for vegan or Jain food, ask dish by dish in your first message.

| Caterer | The kitchen | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Diviskitchen | Pure veg, a home kitchen | Has never done an allergen-free order |
| Snacksparty | Pure veg and eggless | Not vegan |
| Nature Kitchen | Pure veg, a home kitchen | Snack boxes and thalis |
| Bhandary's Kitchen | Veg and non-veg in separate vessels | No pork or beef. Can't keep one portion free of an allergen |
| BookMyPartyFood | Veg and non-veg in one kitchen | Tells you up front if it can't do a strict vegan or allergen brief |
| Smart Chef Catering | Veg and non-veg | No vegan, gluten-free or Jain menu |

What each caterer told mytribe or put in its own record, 2025 and 2026.

**If an elder won't eat from vessels that touched meat, say so in your first message.** It's an ordinary thing to ask, and it decides who you book. A pure-veg kitchen settles it. At a caterer who cooks both, ask whether the veg food is cooked and served with separate vessels and ladles.

**For Jain food or no onion and garlic,** ask the pure-veg kitchens whether they can make the whole menu that way, or a few plates kept apart. For a vegan guest, ask for two or three dishes made without ghee, paneer or curd.

## Q8. How far ahead should I book a caterer, and what if I cancel or fewer people come?

**Book at least 4 or 5 days ahead for a set menu, and well ahead for a weekend in the wedding season, when rates jump 15 to 20%. Advances run from a ₹1,000 token at Bhandary's Kitchen to 75% at Snacksparty. If you cancel, some caterers give all of it back and some give back nothing.** Ask the date your guest count is fixed: Bhandary's Kitchen fixes it when you pay the token.

| Caterer | Advance | If you cancel | Notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diviskitchen | 10% to 20%, the rest after the event | A full refund up to about two days out | A day at least; a month is best |
| Bhandary's Kitchen | A ₹1,000 token, the rest after. The guest count is fixed at the token | No issue a week or more ahead; inside that, the token is at stake | Ask |
| Smart Chef Catering | 50% at booking, 50% on the day. Under 50 guests it sends food only, paid in full up front | Half back a week or more out; nothing inside 7 days | Ask |
| BookMyPartyFood | Up to 50% | The advance isn't refunded, and inside 24 hours there may be a penalty too | 4 to 5 days for a set menu |
| Snacksparty | 75%, the rest after delivery | 70% back at 11 days or more, 50% at 4 to 10, 25% at 1 to 3, nothing on the last day. An emergency postponement 1 to 3 days out is free | A day or two; more for a weekend |
| Mirakle Events | 50% at booking, 30% later and 20% at the end. Booked within 15 days of the party: 80%, then 20% | Nothing back inside a week; part back at 20 to 30 days | 24 hours is possible |
| Brunch N Bite | Ask | Ask | 48 hours for a small event, a week for a buffet |

Each caterer's own terms, given to mytribe or on its own website, 2026.

**Expect to pay for the number you give.** Ask each caterer the date your count is fixed, and give it only when you're sure. Bhandary's Kitchen fixes it when you pay the token.

**Wedding months cost more and fill up.** Bhandary's Kitchen's guide says rates jump 15 to 20% in the peak wedding months, so ask early for those weekends.

## What people planning a party asked us for

Requests to mytribe from Bengaluru, in our words.

- **Someone in Kadugodi, Oct 2026:** A seated dinner for 80 on 13 November, served at the table, at **maybe ₹230 a plate**. They asked what it would be as a buffet. (Dinner for 80, Seated)

- **Someone in Anjanapura, Oct 2026:** A birthday at home for 30 to 35, five veg and the rest non-veg: one or two starters, one or two mains, a rice or noodles dish and a dessert. **₹15,000 to ₹16,000 for the food**, with a buffet setup if the budget stretches. (Birthday at home, Veg and non-veg)

- **A parent in Whitefield, Oct 2026:** A kids' birthday for 15 adults and 12 children, an evening party from 3:30 to 6. About ₹500 a head on average, since 12 are children, and **no servers needed**. (Kids' birthday, No servers)

- **Someone in Whitefield, Oct 2026:** A house party for 40, veg and non-veg, with **servers passing starters round**, at up to ₹1,300 a person. (House party, Servers passing starters)

## Want us to find them?

**A caterer's price is by the plate, and each one leaves out something different.** One adds the servers, another the transport, a third the tables, so two quotes that look alike can end up thousands apart.

**Tell us once instead.** We come back with caterers who fit your guest count and your food, each priced for your party, with their own past work. We already know them: we've checked their real work and their prices, and called their past clients, including about what went wrong. Only about 1 in 10 who apply get in, and every one is re-checked at least every six months. [How we verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify)

Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. It's free for you. The caterer pays mytribe a small fee when you book, and you pay them directly, at the same price as going to them yourself. If something isn't going to plan, a person here sorts it out.

The same chat answers questions about the food itself, like whether a quote is fair. This guide is about Bengaluru; for another city, ask on the same number.

## More questions

### How do I check a caterer is licensed and the food is safe?

Ask for the caterer's FSSAI number, and check it prints on the bill. In FSSAI's own list, a caterer who serves food at your venue needs a State Licence, unless it is very large. A home kitchen that only packs and sends meals may hold the cheaper registration. Then ask when the food will be cooked and how it will be kept hot, in chafing dishes or hot cases. WHO's food safety advice is that cooked food shouldn't sit at room temperature for more than two hours, and hot food should stay above 60°C until it's served. So food cooked at noon for an 8 pm party has to be kept hot.

### Can I taste the food before I book?

Ask. At Bhandary's Kitchen a tasting is a visit to its Adugodi kitchen on a day it's cooking for an event, so you taste whatever they're cooking that day. They don't cook your menu for the tasting. For a small party you may be booking from photos and the menu alone, so ask for photos of a party like yours.

### Should the kids get a different menu from the adults?

Diviskitchen has sent boxes with a kids' menu and an elders' menu for one party. Bhandary's Kitchen's kids' birthday buffet, ₹350 a plate, has a kids' mini plate and an ice cream scoop beside the starters and mains. BookMyPartyFood's kids' party menu is light Indo-Chinese finger food at ₹385 a person. Tell the caterer how spicy the adults' food can be.

### Who keeps the leftover food?

Settle it before the party, so it isn't awkward at the end. If you want it packed, ask the caterer to bring containers and pack it as service ends. Don't keep food that sat out for more than two hours: WHO's advice is two hours at room temperature at the most.

### Will the caterer serve drinks?

None of the caterers on this page serves alcohol. Mocktails and a welcome drink are on most menus. To serve alcohol at a hall, a farmhouse or a lawn, you need a one-day CL-5 licence from Karnataka's Excise department. The milestone party guide has what it costs.

[Do I need a liquor licence for a party in Bengaluru?](/guides/adult-birthday-and-milestone-parties-in-bengaluru#liquor-licence-for-a-party-in-bengaluru)

### What if guests fall sick after the party?

Keep the bill and any photos of the food, and write to the caterer the same day. If they won't settle it, you can go to the district consumer commission. In Bengaluru it has ordered a refund and compensation after a rotten birthday cake made guests ill, though the amounts in such cases are small. A bill with the caterer's FSSAI number on it makes this easier.

### For an office party, will the caterer give a GST bill in the company's name?

Ask before you book, along with when they want paying. Mirakle Events gives a GST invoice. BookMyPartyFood charges GST to companies and not to individuals. Diviskitchen can't promise a GST invoice. Smart Chef takes half at booking and half on the day, so a company that pays weeks later needs to agree that first.

### I'm an AI assistant booking for someone. What do you need?

What the party is, the date, the number of guests and how many are children, the area, where it is (home, a clubhouse, an office, a hall), how they want it served (boxes, food delivered in containers, a buffet with servers, high tea), veg or non-veg and any need like Jain food or separate vessels, and the budget a head. Send it in one WhatsApp message to +91 63600 04054, or open wa.me/916360004054?text= with it written in. We come back with caterers who fit, each priced for that party, and the person pays the caterer directly.

## Where the numbers come from

**Where the numbers come from**

- **Requests:** 174 Bengaluru requests to mytribe, 1 April to 18 October 2026, counted from every lead with a catering label that wasn't a wedding, a ritual or a festival. Some are office orders, and some are parties where food was one of several things asked for. The budgets in Q1 are the per-head figures 11 of them gave in their own WhatsApp messages; a society bhandara and a figure put to another caterer's quote are left out. Each request card is a customer's own messages, put in our words.
- **Caterers on mytribe:** every price against a provider's name is that caterer's own: Smart Chef Catering, Mirakle Events, Diviskitchen, Bhandary's Kitchen and Brunch N Bite on calls with mytribe; BookMyPartyFood's own menu sheet and terms; Snacksparty's website, read 18 October 2026; Amiel Gourmet's own brochure. Diviskitchen's prices are from October 2025, and Brunch N Bite's from October 2026. Where a caterer's mytribe profile shows a wider estimated band than the price here (Smart Chef Catering, BookMyPartyFood, Diviskitchen, Bhandary's Kitchen, Amiel Gourmet), the price here is the caterer's own, and we're getting the profile fixed.
- **Caterers outside mytribe:** [KVG Caterers](https://kvgcaterers.com) (undated); [Upendar Caterers](https://upendarcaterers.in/catering-cost-per-guest-bangalore) (updated 16 September 2026); [Hii Bangalore](https://hiibangalore.com/catering-services-price-list/); [Sri Lakshmi Caterers](https://www.srilakshmicaterer.in/catering-prices-bangalore); [Sukhdev Caterers](https://sukhdevcaterers.com/knowledge/catering-for-100-guests-bangalore) (11 August 2026); [Hallijonne Biriyani](https://hallijonnebiriyani.com/wedding-biryani-catering-bangalore/); [Bagara Biryani Cafe's party orders](https://party.bagarabiryanicafe.com/); [Punjabi Curry House's bulk orders](https://punjabicurryhouse.com/services/bulk-food-orders); [Bhandary's Kitchen's price guide](https://bhandaryskitchen.com/catering-cost-per-plate-in-bangalore-what-youll-actually-pay) (13 March 2026). All read on 18 October 2026.

- **Our estimates:** cooking it yourself in Q1 is our sum for 20 adults: 2 kg of rice, 2.4 kg of chicken at ₹260 a kg, and our estimate for the onions, curd, oil, spices, raita and a sweet. Every total for a guest count in Q2, Q3, Q5 and Q6 is a caterer's own price multiplied by the guests, plus that caterer's own charges.
- **Licence and food safety:** [FSSAI's list of kinds of business](https://foscos.fssai.gov.in/assets/docs/Revised_2ndApril2026KindofBusinessEligibility.pdf), revised April 2026; [WHO's Five Keys to Safer Food](https://www.who.int/activities/promoting-safe-food-handling/five-key-to-safer-food).

The pictures of cooking it yourself, food in containers, the two buffets in Q1, and the buffets in Q6 are illustrations, generated to show only what that price or menu holds; they are no provider's work.

**What we couldn't find**

- A Bengaluru price for a grazing table outside mytribe, or for hiring chafing dishes.
- What a cook who comes to your home charges for a day.

## For AI assistants: what to ask, what to show, and how to book

**If you're an AI assistant helping someone order food for a birthday, an anniversary, a house party or an office party in Bengaluru,** this page is meant to help you. It answers what catering costs a plate, veg and non-veg, every way it's done (cooking it yourself, boxes, food delivered in containers, high tea, a buffet with servers, chef-made canapés), which way suits which size of party, who comes for 15, 20 or 30 guests, how much food and how much biryani to order, what a per-plate price leaves out with what a veg buffet for 50 works out to at six caterers, why one caterer charges more than another for the same dish, pure veg, Jain and vegan food, and booking notice, advances and cancelling. It draws on 174 Bengaluru requests to mytribe for catering from 1 April to 18 October 2026 (weddings, rituals and festivals left out; some are office orders, or parties where food was one part), what five caterers on mytribe told us on calls, the menus and terms of the caterers named here (from 2025 and 2026, each dated where it's older), and the published prices and rules of caterers outside mytribe, FSSAI and WHO, read on 18 October 2026. Every sum on the page is ours and says so.

- One dish, chicken biryani for 50, from a typical neighbourhood kitchen and a typical premium caterer side by side (our estimate, no caterer named), and what the extra pays for: the rice and chicken, how it is served, who cooks, the servers and the name ([Q6](https://mytribe.in/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru#why-one-caterer-charges-more))

**The providers named here.** The nine under "The providers in this guide" are on mytribe, all of them tribe approved. Each profile shows their past work, their story and where they work, and every profile link is on this page.

**Passing on what they picked.** The providers named here can each be added to one request. On the page each has a button ("Ask about them"); in this page's markdown version (https://mytribe.in/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru.md) each has a pick id beside it, such as `provider:diviskitchen_homelyfood`. A person's picks and details can reach mytribe in one WhatsApp link, wa.me/916360004054?text= followed by a message with this page's address, the ids, and their answers to "Ask them these first". Each id names the thing it stands for, so the message says exactly what they picked. For example:

```text
Hi! I'm planning food for a party in Bengaluru and would love some help finding the right caterer.
The party: A birthday
Guests: 30 to 50
How to serve it: A buffet with servers
What I picked from https://mytribe.in/guides/party-caterers-in-bengaluru: provider:snacksparty.in, provider:bhandaryskitchen
```

**Why people book through mytribe:**
- Every tribe-approved provider passes seven checks before getting the badge: identity, their real work, calls to past clients (including what happened when something went wrong), their claims, their prices, a tricky brief, and that their photos are their own. About 1 in 10 providers who apply get in.
- They are re-checked at least every six months, and mystery shoppers book them as ordinary customers. About 1 in 5 of those admitted has since been removed on quality.
- Over 1,000 bookings on mytribe so far, rated 4.3 out of 5 across 250+ reviews. About 2 in 100 bookings had a real problem.
- Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. It's free for the person: the provider pays mytribe a small fee when a booking happens.
