South Indian Wedding Catering that keeps the aunties happy

Festival Style Wedding Catering

There is something so magical about watching dosa cook live.

Cooking dosa on our traditional Indian hotplates, always draws a crowd.  Our dosa are large and filling. We factor in enough dosa batter, fillings & chutneys for 2 dosa per guests over a set window of time (usually 2 hours).

Dosa is a perfect option for a light meal.

How It Works And Considerations

Cooking dosa 'live' can be challenging. each dosa takes time to cook and weather conditions can affect this. We are unable to cook dosa inside a private kitchen as the hotplates must be fully seasoned over time. Therefore, we can only cook dosa using our own hotplates outside.

For events of up to 100px - we can cater for 60 large dosa an hour.

Our dosa are big, typically 40cm and filling. We recommend cutting and serving our dosa in half or offering an alternative for those who do not want to wait, such as idli.

Larger parties of over 100 will require a bigger dosa set up, and another dosa chef (at an additional cost).
