Gourmet Modern Indian Chaat & Starter Stations
We transform traditional street food into interactive culinary experiences. From live Samosa Cannelloni stations to Dal Makhani Fondue, we bring art, flavor, and excitement to your event.
This chaat platter is a feast for the senses, showcasing the sheer variety we can offer. It features miniature Vada Pavs, Palak Patta Chaat, and Kachoris, providing a comprehensive taste of Mumbai's best street food in one beautifully arranged spread.
A signature creation by Chef Nita Mehta, this Samosa Cannelloni Chaat deconstructs a classic. A crispy samosa cone is filled with yogurt and chutneys, offering a sophisticated, no-mess way to enjoy a favorite snack.
Our Dal Makhani Fondue is a perfect example of our fusion philosophy. Creamy, slow-cooked dal makhani is served as a warm dip with bite-sized bread rolls for a comforting yet elegant appetizer that always gets people talking.

About Modern Indian Chaat & Starters
You do not just get a food stall, you get a styled centerpiece. We set up 6ft counters with themed skirting, using terracotta kulhads or ceramic plating to ensure the visual appeal matches the flavor. Our chefs handle all assembly on-site—whether it is live appams or a fusion fondue—so your guests get a fresh, warm, and interactive experience from the first bite to the last.
At NM Foods, we believe your catering should be as lively as your guest list. Our modern approach to chaat and starters is all about making the food, not just something people eat, but something they talk about. We move away from standard buffet lines to create dynamic, live stations that invite guests to interact with our chefs.
The Fusion Philosophy
We take the classics you know and love and give them a contemporary twist. This is what we call our 'hatke' menu. You might see a Samosa Cannelloni Chaat that deconstructs the humble snack, or a Dal Makhani Fondue that turns a comforting staple into a social dipping experience. These are designed to be elegant, easy to eat while mingling, and visually striking.
How We Set The Stage
- Interactive Cooking: Whether it is a Live Chaat station, a South Indian counter with fresh appams, or a Lebanese Shawarma bar, everything is prepared fresh in front of your guests. It brings the kitchen energy to the party floor.
- Thematic Presentation: We treat plating as part of the decor. We use traditional terracotta kulhads for an earthy, rustic vibe or sleek ceramic and glass for a more modern event. Our setup includes themed skirting, artificial florals, and printed menu cards, ensuring the counter fits your event aesthetic perfectly.
- Practical & Professional: We bring our own equipment—from tawas and tandoors to smokeless coal grills—so you do not have to worry about the logistics. Our uniformed chefs and assistants manage the entire service flow, ensuring that even with 500 guests, the service remains prompt and orderly across Delhi NCR.
