Happy kids = happy guests always. Children under three eat free. Children's meals are available at $20 each.

Yes - with notice before your event. Because our dishes are slow-cooked, we cannot adjust spice levels on the day. We recommend discussing this with us in advance so we can prepare dishes to suit your crowd. For guests who cannot tolerate any spice at all, we can advise on suitable additional options.

If a Government directive or natural disaster prevents your event from going ahead, we will do everything we can to reschedule. We hold permits that allow us to cook on total fire ban days. We are unable to cater on days declared catastrophic by the CFA in bush fire prone areas (city venues not affected).

Of course! Many of our dishes are served at our restaurants in Belgrave & Warburton. For those that are not, please make an appointment with our catering manager to organise.

Absolutely. Most of our best events are a mix of experiences: a buffet, a cart, a LIVE station.  Tell us what you’re imagining and we’ll build it around your event.

We require a 30% deposit upon booking. This deposit is fully refundable up to 6 weeks prior to your event. After this time the deposit is non refundable. The balance of payment, confirmation of total guest numbers and dietary requirements is required 10 days before your event. Minimum charges will be applied if guest numbers drop below this amount.

We are happy to use the kitchen at your venue and have all the necessary insurances and permits to allow us to do this. And just like an Indian mum, we’ll leave the place spotless when we’re done! Alternatively, we can set up our mobile kitchen - which can, if needed be fully self sufficient. For this we need a large flat space and potentially access to power.

Yes. A large proportion of our menus are naturally gluten free and vegan. We cater for most dietary and religious requirements with advance notice — please flag these at the time of booking. While we have strict allergen management processes in place, we are unable to guarantee our dishes are completely allergen-free due to the possibility of cross-contamination in our kitchen and across our suppliers.

You know that aunty who insists you eat, eat, eat! That’s us! We’re used to cooking for ’the village’, expect the food to flow and everyone to leave with satisfied bellies.

We can set up on all private properties (front lawns, driveways and sometimes back yards).

We require good accessibility and  a flat space of at least 4 x 4m  with no stairs to navigate.

To set up on council or Parks Victoria land, permits may be required. All event permits and associated costs are your responsibility. We can provide you with all our permits allowing us to cook outside, including our public liability insurance, CFA permits & Food Safety certificates.

Every event is different, so we adapt the service style to suit your venue and guests.

We can serve directly from our mobile street kitchen, set up a buffet, provide full table service or have our team roaming with canapés as guests mingle.

Whether you're hosting a backyard celebration, wedding, corporate function or festival, we'll help find the approach that works best for your space and budget

In most cases, we cook from our food van, our fully self-sufficient festival kitchen which we set up or our vintage food carts.  Watching us cook is the magic of an Indian kitchen – expect street food theatre, colour, cheesy banter & your guests salivating as the smells waft through your venue.

For most events we require the following space:

Festival Kitchen (marquee) - 4mx4m - flat space. We also require access to our van and clear access of no more than 10 metres away.

Trailer - 5m x 5m - flat space.

Carts - 3m x 2m (we do have a smaller option)

We are experienced in cooking for small events of 50 people, to cooking for thousands at large weddings and huge music festivals! We may require a larger space to cook for groups over 200 to allow us to set up a bigger mobile kitchen.

Because each dosa is cooked fresh to order, they do take a little time. As a guide, we can usually cook around 60 large dosas per hour, depending on weather conditions (if cooking outdoors)  and the complexity of the fillings.

Our dosas are generous in size (around 40cm across), so for events we often recommend cutting them in half and serving them as shared portions. For larger groups, we may also suggest offering idli or another accompaniment to keep queues moving and ensure everyone is well fed.

Planning an event with more than 100 guests? No problem. Let us know your numbers and we'll work with you to create a service plan that keeps the food flowing and your guests happy.
