About Social Event Catering
What We Bring To Your Event
I’m Sarika from Sarika Catering Service, and for me, food is the real star of any celebration. Jo bhi function ho (No matter the function), I specialise in making the food memorable - whether it’s a birthday, baby shower, house warming, engagement or just a family get-together.
Food That Gets Talked About
You’ll always hear “Jevan khup chaan hota!” (Food was very good!) after your event. My main focus is always taste and quality. I stick to Indian food, especially authentic Malvani cuisine, and keep veg and non-veg counters separate. Typical menu includes:
- Fresh starters, served hot by our staff
- Buffet catering for parties with a spread of curries, breads, rice, salads
- Desserts like gulab jamun, Bengali sweets, and special modaks
Live Food Experience
Guests love our live food counters for events. Pav bhaji, chaat, jalebi, and a tandoor station for breads and kebabs – all cooked fresh on the spot.
Service Styles, Your Choice
Depending on your vibe, I offer:
- Standard buffet or a fancy ‘Royal’ buffet setup
- Traditional pangat service (seated meal on banana leaves)
- Passed service, where starters and drinks come right to your guests
No Event Too Big Or Small
I’ve handled family function catering from 100 to 1000+ people. My team shows up on time, uniformed, and professional, even for last-minute bookings. You party, I handle the food.
