Innovative Chaat and Appetizer Stations
Turn your appetizer service into a live show. We take classic Mumbai street food and modern fusion snacks, preparing them right in front of your guests to bring energy to your event.
A glimpse of the menu at one of my chaat counters, featuring creative items like 'Deconstructed Dabeli' and 'Babycorn Cigar' alongside classic favorites.
This is my Kichiya Pasta Fusion, a unique appetizer that combines Italian and Indian flavors. A staff member assembles the dish in a small cup, layering crispy kichiya papad with a creamy pasta sauce.
My chef preparing a serving of Shahi Dahi Wada. The soft lentil fritters are soaked in sweet yogurt and then garnished with tangy tamarind chutney and spices, served in a traditional clay bowl.
A close-up of my special Ahmedabadi Kadi-stuffed Lava Dhokla. A light and fluffy dhokla is filled with a tangy yogurt curry that flows out when you take a bite.
The final touch on a freshly steamed rice flour cake appetizer. A drizzle of oil or ghee is added just before serving to enhance the flavor and texture.
A rustic 'namkeen' or savory snack counter set up for a festive occasion. It features a variety of traditional Indian fried snacks, chutneys, and garnishes for guests to create their own mix.
About this collection
When we set up our live chaat stations, we do not simply put out pre-plated dishes. Our chefs assemble every bowl in front of your guests, which ensures the crispy elements stay crunchy and the hot items arrive at the right temperature. Whether it is the lava dhokla or our deconstructed dabeli, that preparation time is a core part of the experience.
Why Food Styling Matters
We believe that guests eat with their eyes first. Standard buffet warmers are functional, but they do not create a conversation. By using elements like slate platters, bamboo boats, and even glass shot jars, we turn simple appetizers into a visual display. When you choose our innovative stations, you are paying for the presentation just as much as the taste.
The Live Cooking Advantage
Stale snacks are the enemy of a good party. Our live cooking approach, which we have refined since 1988, solves this. When we make Kichiya pasta or fresh Jalebi on-site, the ingredients are at their peak. We bring the sizzle, the aroma, and the movement into the venue, which naturally draws guests to the counter.
Customizing Your Spread
Every event in Mumbai has a different vibe. We work with you to match the counter aesthetics to your theme. If you want a traditional look, we bring in clay pots and rustic accents. For more modern events, we use geometric risers and minimalist serveware. We provide all the necessary staff, including uniformed chefs, so you are not left managing the logistics during your own function.
