About Community & Religious Event Catering
Food is at the heart of every community and religious event. I make sure that each meal feels right for the occasion, whether it's a small pooja at home or a massive community feast with hundreds.
Experience with Every Occasion
- Regularly cater for Ganesh Chaturthi, Bhandara feasts, Haldi, and Griha Pravesh.
- Our team is used to serving huge crowds - up to 1500 people, sometimes multiple events in one day.
- You don’t have to worry about the line or the wait - we take care of all that.
How We Serve
- Traditional pangat dining (guests seated in rows, sometimes banana leaves) for those who want the real deal.
- Buffet setups for big groups - quick and fuss-free.
- Live counters like garma garam Jalebi if you want something special and fun.
The Food
- Pure vegetarian event menu, always simple, traditional and satisfying.
- Dishes like paneer, dals, fresh puris, salads, and mithai like Gulab Jamun.
- We stick to what we know best - home-style, tasty, and nothing fancy for the sake of it.
- Best thing for us is when someone says, "Jevan khup chaan hota" (the food was very good).
What to Expect
- Sometimes, we do back-to-back events, but quality is not something we let slip.
- We're practical - not perfect, but always show up and do our job with full heart.
