Dietary
Jain, vegetarian, vegan and allergen handling
Pune guest lists almost always include pure vegetarian, Jain and no-onion-no-garlic eaters, and increasingly vegan and gluten-free guests. We run those as separate kitchen lines with their own utensils, oil and counters rather than as an afterthought tray at the end of the buffet.
Separate kitchen lines for vegetarian, Jain, satvik and vegan food, each with its own utensils, pans and fresh oil.
No onion, no garlic, no root vegetables on a Jain line — and the base gravies rebuilt rather than stripped.
Counter signage on every station with veg and non-veg marking and the major allergens named.
Fasting and upvas menus prepared with sendha namak, kept off the regular kitchen line entirely.
Full ingredient lists sent ahead where a guest has a nut, dairy, gluten or sesame allergy.
The dietary counters physically separated in the layout, with their own stewards who stay on that counter.

FAQs
Chinese Catering questions
Can you cook without MSG or ajinomoto?
Yes, and we do it by default unless you ask otherwise. The stocks and sauces are made in our kitchen, so the flavour comes from the base rather than from a seasoning packet.
Our venue does not allow open flame. Can the wok counter still run?
Yes. We carry commercial induction wok rings that reach genuine wok heat, so the counter runs on a power point instead of gas. The chef and the service look the same to a guest.
Do you cook Chinese food without onion and garlic?
Yes. Schezwan, hot garlic and burnt garlic dishes are rebuilt on a chilli, ginger and fermented bean base, and the no-onion-no-garlic dishes are cooked on their own wok with their own oil.
Is the dim sum steamed at the venue?
The dumplings are folded in our kitchen and steamed at the counter in bamboo baskets through service, so guests get them hot rather than out of a holding tray.
Can a Chinese menu work for a fully vegetarian family function?
Yes — the full card runs pure vegetarian, and on a pure-veg booking there is no non-veg wok at the event at all, so there is no shared equipment to worry about.
How far ahead should we book?
Six to ten weeks for October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Outside that, two to three weeks is usually comfortable, and short-notice bookings taken when the kitchen has capacity.
Can we taste the menu before we confirm?
Yes. We arrange a tasting for confirmed enquiries, and the final dish list, spice levels and sweetness are locked after it rather than before. Sharing the date, venue and guest count gets you a written per-plate quote the same day.
