Function by function
A daytime function built around what the mother-to-be can safely eat: nothing raw or undercooked, no unpasteurised cheese, no raw-egg dressings, caffeine on its own marked counter.
From arrival, running through the function
Chilled from cold holding rather than left standing. Caffeine-free options are marked so nobody has to ask.
Through the ritual and the games
Satvik by default for a godh bharai — no onion, no garlic, cooked on a separate line with fresh oil.
Lunch or early dinner, depending on the timing
Cooked through, nothing raw, nothing undercooked. A full thali for a traditional function, a buffet for a mixed guest list.
The photographed part of the afternoon
Styled with tiered stands, jars and a cake, colour-matched to your theme. Props beyond our kit are quoted separately.
Every function above can be made pure vegetarian, Jain, satvik or vegan on its own kitchen line. Dishes are cooked at your venue rather than transported ready-made.
How it runs
The same eight steps every time, so you always know what is owed and by whom. On the day itself the team is on site well before guests are: four hours on site before service, and six hours for a full wedding spread.

FAQs
Yes — no onion, no garlic, cooked on a separate line with fresh oil. For many families that is the default at this function.
We build the daytime menu around that: nothing raw or undercooked, no unpasteurised cheese, no raw-egg dressings, and caffeine kept to a clearly marked counter. We will flag anything on the menu she should skip rather than leaving it for her to work out.
Either. An afternoon baby shower is usually farsan, chaat, a sandwich counter and a dessert table; a lunch or dinner function gets a thali or a buffet. Tell us the timing and we will size it properly.
Yes — a themed dessert table with tiered stands, jars and a cake, colour-matched to your theme. Custom props and florals beyond our kit are quoted separately.
Yes, a full Jain line with separate utensils and no root vegetables — most commonly asked for at this function, and planned in from the start rather than added at the end.
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.
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.
Tastings before booking, live counters at your venue, and one supervisor with you all evening.
