Which buffet package suits my event?

Match the package to the occasion and time of day rather than just the guest count.

  • Simple Veg Buffet: poojas, satyanarayana vratam and small house functions
  • South + North Indian Buffet: birthdays, housewarmings and engagements
  • Premium Buffet with live counters: weddings, receptions and corporate events
  • Jain and no-onion-no-garlic dishes can be cooked separately in any package

How do you stop buffet queues at big events?

Queues form when one line serves everyone. We plan one main buffet line per 250–300 guests arriving per hour and spread the crowd with live counters, so starters, mains and desserts are served from different points in the hall.

Buffet or banana-leaf meal?

A seated banana-leaf meal suits a muhurtham or pooja where guests eat together. A buffet suits receptions, birthdays and housewarmings where guests arrive in waves over a few hours. Many families book both — see our wedding catering page for combined muhurtham and reception menus.
