A menu shape that actually works
The most common mistake is ordering too many dishes and too few counters. Guests queue, food sits, and everything feels lukewarm. We would rather cook eight dishes brilliantly across three live stations than twenty on a static buffet.
A blend that consistently works in the Pune belt pairs Mexican with Mughlai: familiar enough for elders, interesting enough for a younger crowd.
- Loaded nachos
- Jalapeno poppers
- Elote corn
- Chips with salsa trio
- Tacos al pastor
- Veg fajitas
- Enchiladas
- Burrito bowls
- Chipotle rice
- Refried beans

Logistics, timings and venue rules across the Pune belt
Pune venues are strict about load-in windows, lift access, gas cylinders and open-flame counters. We survey the venue before the event, confirm what the society or hotel allows, and design the counter layout around it.
Pimpri-Chinchwad is a good example. Pimpri, Chinchwad, Nigdi and the Hinjewadi-Wakad IT corridor are covered daily by a dedicated PCMC kitchen crew, with live counters set up on site at township clubhouses, lawns and corporate campuses for weddings and large events.
Our standard run is four hours on site before service for buffets and six hours for a full wedding spread, with service staff at one steward per 25 guests for buffets and one steward per 12 guests for plated service. Everything is cleared and the space handed back clean before the team leaves.
- Venue recce and counter layout plan before the event date
- Live counters where open flame is permitted; induction and pre-seared alternatives where it is not
- Separate vegetarian, Jain and satvik lines with dedicated utensils
- FSSAI-compliant kitchen, temperature logs and covered transport
- Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover after service

How to book, and how far ahead
Peak dates need six to ten weeks: October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Everything else is usually comfortable at two to three weeks, and we do take short-notice bookings when the kitchen has capacity.
The sequence is simple: share date, venue and guest count; we send a written per-plate quote the same day; we arrange a tasting for confirmed enquiries; you finalise the menu and spice levels after tasting; we do a venue recce and lock the counter plan.

- Tasting session before you pay in full
