FAQs


  • Absolutely! We can cater for as few as two people, you don’t always need a crowd to make an event special. For an event for two or three, or a small party of four to ten, our party boxes, grazing hampers, and dabba, high chai, and private dining experiences are best suited.

  • As few as two, as many as 50. We have a number of different catering experiences including self-serve hot buffets, private dining, grazing hampers, dabba and High Chai experiences, and party boxes, and the type of experience we can cater would depend on the number of guests you have.

  • This is what we’re all about! Our recipes are all rooted in Indian tradition, but not bound by it. Our food has been influenced by family traditions, travels across India, and experiences thereafter. We can cater a sit-down Indian dining experience for your event, complete with table decoration and waiting staff, or set up a self-serve hot buffet or High Chai experience, or deliver party boxes, grazing hampers, or a dabba experience.

  • Yes! We can cater for an event at your home or another venue of your choice, indoors or outdoors.

  • We can provide eco-friendly disposable crockery, cutlery, and serviettes. We bring all tableware if we’re catering a sit-down private dining experience.

  • Our menus are designed around your guest and your preferences, so we can certainly include vegetarian or vegan options. However, some of our food cannot be made vegan unfortunately, for example our raitas, or a curry that uses yogurt.

  • All our food is prepared in a kitchen where allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, milk, fish, crustaceans, eggs, lupin, molluscs, mustard, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide and sulphites are handled directly or as ingredients in another product. Any specific allergens used in the preparation of an item are mentioned in our menus when we design these for you.

    Please be aware of the above if you have an allergy, and before you order with us.

  • We are happy to drive upto an hour from our kitchen in GU23. This is to ensure our food reaches you safe and fresh. Please note there may be a delivery charge/travel cost depending on where you are located.

  • Absolutely! Self-serve hot buffets with curries, accompaniments and sides. We can provide eco-friendly disposable crockery, cutlery, and serviettes too, and you are welcome to hire our buffet equipment, tables, table cloths and serve ware. We set up before your event, leave you to enjoy it, and then return to break down and clear up.

  • Yes! Our party boxes are ideal if this is your preference. Our hampers can be delivered cold too.

  • It’s best to book as early as possible, we’re more likely to be available and we’ll also have plenty of time to plan and agree the menu and other details between us this way. However, do get in touch with a week’s notice if you need us to step in and we may still be able to help!

  • We do! Our grazing hampers, private dining, and hot buffets are best suited for corporate events.

  • Absolutely! Our catering menus are always designed around your guest and your preferences.

  • That’s right! Our meat, eggs, vegetables, honey, and bread are all sourced from Surrey based businesses. To support fellow local businesses and reduce food miles, as best as we can.
