About Gourmet Vegetarian Catering
What We’re All About
Food feels personal to us, like a big warm hug from home. We (Niti and Pooja) started Gumdrops in our Bangalore kitchen to share that feeling. We do only vegetarian food, and every single thing is made by us, right from scratch. No shortcuts, no outsourcing - just real food, lots of love, and a bit of jugaad (resourcefulness) when needed.
What We Cater For
We handle all kinds of celebrations - from small house parties to those big festival feasts. Our menus fit everything: birthday dinners, high tea, chaat parties, baby showers, or even surprise anniversary meals. If you want something special, we love putting together customised vegetarian party menus to match your vibe.
What’s on the Menu
- Indian comfort food is our main thing. Imagine a proper chaat counter with Pani Puri and Dahi Vada, or mains like Smoked Chana and Amritsari Kulchas.
- Want something global? We do bowls of Veg Khow Suey, Thai or Chinese curries, Mexican burrito bowls, and cheesy Italian classics.
- High tea or snacky bites? We bake eggless quiches, puffs, and breads fresh for every order.
- Our desserts are all 100% eggless, from mithai like Sandesh to Chocolate Mousse and Mango Cheesecake Jars. Eggless dessert catering is our jam.
Why Choose Us
Our food isn’t fancy restaurant style, but it’s not regular home food either. It’s that sweet spot - home-style gourmet Indian meals and international vegetarian food platters that make any get-together extra special. If you like food that’s thoughtful, a bit nostalgic, and always fresh, we might just be your kind of people.

My Story
Hey, we’re Niti and Pooja - Gumdrops is just two friends, our kitchen, and a whole lotta love for food. Started with us cooking for our own Holi and Diwali get-togethers in Bangalore, then friends roped us in for their parties. Our menu’s a little wild - one day it’s spicy Vada Pav, next day it’s cheese platters or Khao Suey. We cook what we crave. Everything’s homemade, full-on flavour, never boring.
My Work
Home-cooked vegetarian catering - We do homemade vegetarian catering for small parties, festive occasions, and casual get-togethers.
Festive food hampers and gifting - Custom food hampers for Holi, Rakhi, birthdays, baby showers or just to make someone’s day.
Big, mixed menu - From Pani Puri and Kachoris to gourmet cheese platters, Khao Suey, lasagna, and baked treats.
Made from scratch - Everything’s handmade by us, no shortcuts - just the kind of food we’d serve at home.
