At catering scale

Catering Indian, honestly

Indian catering lives or dies on depth — the layering of spice that cannot be rushed — and our kitchen gives it the time it demands. Butter chicken simmered in tomato-cream masala, hyderabadi biryani steamed with saffron basmati, chicken tikka charred in the tandoor tradition, and a vegetarian bench that is a menu in its own right: chana masala, dal makhani, paneer tikka masala. Naan arrives fresh and generous, raita cools the table, and gulab jamun closes it in syrup. All meats are halal · zabiha-sourced, and heat is tuned to your crowd — from mild to properly spicy, labeled dish by dish.

Indian food is the strongest vegetarian-and-vegan catering canvas we offer, which makes it a favorite for mixed corporate teams and multi-generational family events across LA. The curries hold superbly on a buffet, biryani scales without losing its perfume, and gluten-free guests eat almost the entire menu. As with every kitchen in the house, it can be blended with any other menu and priced on one quote.

Questions

Indian catering, answered honestly

What does Indian catering cost per tray in Los Angeles?
Curries and biryani run $35–$110 per tray or per-guest service — butter chicken and biryani sit around $95, vegetarian mains like chana masala and dal makhani from $70, and raita and sides from $35.
Is your Indian food halal, and how spicy will it be?
All meats are zabiha-sourced — butter chicken, biryani, tikka, everything. Heat is tuned to your crowd from mild to properly spicy and labeled dish by dish, so the fire is a choice, never a surprise.
Does Indian food hold well for buffets and deliveries?
Exceptionally — curries are built to hold, biryani keeps its perfume in a covered tray, and naan travels warm. That is why Indian anchors so many corporate buffets; we deliver sterno-ready or staff the line.
What should a mixed vegetarian and meat crowd order?
Split the mains: butter chicken and biryani for the meat side, paneer tikka masala and dal makhani for the vegetarian bench — it is the strongest vegetarian canvas we offer. Naan, raita, and gulab jamun serve everyone.
