House party
Ten to thirty people, one kitchen you would rather not use.
Small enough that a full buffet counter would be in the way, big enough that cooking it yourself ruins your evening. Food arrives packed in serving trays, you put it out, and nobody has to know.
- 10–30 guests
- Lunch or dinner
- 24 hours' notice
- Delivery works
What to put on the buffet
- Starters
- Two, one fried and one grilled
- Mains
- One paneer gravy, one seasonal veg, dal
- Rice and breads
- Pulao and a bread, counted per head
- Dessert
- Shrikhand or gulab jamun by the kilo
What hosts get wrong
Order for your confirmed number, not your invited number. Below thirty guests the no-show rate is what leaves you with four kilos of pulao.
Menus we would suggest
Combo meals and mini meals — the sizes that make sense below thirty guests.

Budgeting a house party
House party: the questions we are asked
How many guests is a house party usually?
Most run to 10–30 guests, and 18 is the headcount we plan around by default. Tell us yours and the spread is scaled to it rather than to a package size.
What does catering a house party cost?
Menus run ₹299–₹399 per guest, so 18 guests works out around ₹5,382–₹7,182 on the food, with delivery and GST on top. That is an indication rather than a quote — the quote follows once we have your date, headcount and menu.
How much notice do you need?
24 hours' notice for this one. Sooner is better for weekend and festival dates, which fill first.
When is it served, and how?
Lunch or dinner. Delivery works.
What do people get wrong about a house party?
Order for your confirmed number, not your invited number. Below thirty guests the no-show rate is what leaves you with four kilos of pulao.
Planning more than one function?
Ready to book the house party?
Send us the date and a rough headcount. We will confirm kitchen capacity, adjust the menu to your budget, and hold the slot while you check with the family.
