Indian Catering Dubai

Absolutely. your chef prepares pure-vegetarian, vegan, and Jain menus, including no-onion and no-garlic preparations on request. We can run an entirely vegetarian event or arrange dedicated vegetarian sections within a larger spread.

Yes. Halal meat and poultry are standard for all our Indian catering in Dubai, sourced from trusted suppliers. Halal is the baseline across our menus and we are happy to confirm sourcing details when you plan.

We tailor heat and seasoning across dishes so spice-sensitive guests and those who love bold flavour are both comfortable. We can also flag the heat level of each dish on the buffet for your guests.

Yes. Partner-chef-led tandoor stations grill kebabs, tikka, paneer, and fresh naan to order, while live chaat counters serve pani puri, bhel, and tikki. These interactive stations are popular at weddings and large receptions.

For smaller gatherings, one to two weeks is ideal. For weddings and large functions, we recommend three to four weeks. During peak wedding and festival season, earlier booking is strongly advised.

Indian catering in Dubai is priced by custom quote, because the per-head cost depends on your menu, guest count, and whether you add live tandoor or chaat stations. Buffet-style spreads are the most economical, while plated multi-course dinners and premium dishes like Hyderabadi biryani or lamb rogan josh sit higher. Share your date and numbers and we'll send a clear, itemised proposal, during business hours.

Every quote covers menu design, ingredient sourcing and shopping, on-site cooking, plating and serving, and full cleanup afterwards. Live tandoor and chaat counters, warmers, buffet styling, and coordination are built in, so there are no surprise add-ons. See exactly what a booking includes on our how it works page.

No hidden charges, your proposal itemises everything, and the only statutory addition is 5% VAT as required in the UAE. Optional extras like additional serving staff or specialty live stations are quoted transparently up front so you can decide what to include. You approve the full menu and price before anything is confirmed.

We cater Indian menus for a wide range of gatherings, from an intimate villa dinner to a wedding banquet for several hundred. For very small groups a private chef preparing a regional tasting in your kitchen is often the better fit, while buffets and live stations suit larger celebrations. Tell us your headcount and we'll recommend the right format.

myCHEF coordinates services through culinary partners. Food handling, transport and service arrangements are reviewed for the booking. If your venue or organisation requires specific licensing or food-safety documentation, tell us early so the relevant information can be requested and reviewed before confirmation.

Yes, tasting sessions can be arranged for larger events such as weddings and corporate functions so you can confirm dishes, spice levels, and portion sizes before you commit. It's a good chance to fine-tune your menu across starters, mains, breads, and sweets. Ask about a tasting menu when you request your proposal.

Yes, professional serving staff and waiters are available for buffets, plated dinners, and live-station setups. Staffing is optional and scaled to your guest count and service style, so a relaxed villa buffet can run lighter while a formal reception gets full front-of-house support. We'll suggest the right number of staff for a smooth service.

Yes, we prepare complete Jain menus with no onion, no garlic, and no root vegetables, cooked as a full spread rather than a stripped-back version. Pure-vegetarian, satvik, and vegan dishes are handled with the same care, and veg and non-veg are kept separate during preparation. Explore our dedicated Jain catering options for festivals and family gatherings.

Yes, our chefs come fully equipped to villas, apartments, and private residences across Dubai and cook, serve, and clear on-site. For a Diwali dinner, a birthday, or a family celebration, we bring the tandoor, chaat counter, and buffet to you so you can host without lifting a finger. We cater in villas and private residences throughout the city.

Yes, we prepare traditional Indian sweets and mithai, from gulab jamun and jalebi to kheer and barfi, and can style a dedicated dessert or sweets table for weddings and festivals. Low-sugar and vegan dessert options are available on request so every guest is looked after. It pairs beautifully with a dessert table setup for larger celebrations.

Yes, interactive chaat counters with pani puri, bhel, and tikki are among our most-booked party formats, cooked fresh in front of your guests. They keep people mingling and add real theatre to receptions, birthdays, and festival evenings alongside a live tandoor. See our full range of live cooking stations to build your spread.

For a wedding or large function we recommend booking three to four weeks ahead, and earlier during peak season from November to March when dates fill quickly. Smaller villa dinners can often be arranged with one to two weeks' notice. The sooner you reach out, the more flexibility you have on menu, staffing, and live stations.

Yes, we regularly build multi-course Indian menus for large weddings and sangeets, flowing from chaat counters to live tandoor stations and a sweeping main buffet. We scale kitchen capacity, staffing, and logistics to match your guest count without compromising on freshness or authenticity. Plan the full celebration through our wedding catering service.

A buffet is generally the more economical choice because it needs less serving staff and lets guests help themselves, while plated and multi-course service costs more due to higher staffing. For weddings, many hosts combine both, live stations and a buffet for the crowd, with plated courses for a head table. We'll advise the best value format for your occasion and can compare a buffet against plated service in your quote.

Send us your event date, guest count, and any dietary needs and we'll reply with a tailored Indian catering proposal, during business hours. There's no obligation, you review the menu and pricing before anything is confirmed. Start by reaching out through our contact page or WhatsApp.

There is no single number for how much Indian food cost in Dubai: guest count, menu, service style and staffing move the figure. Send the date, headcount and venue and you get an itemised proposal, food, chefs, staff, hire and 5% VAT shown separately, usually within a working day.

We design the menu around your event, bring the chef and team to your address, and quote it itemised so you can see what each part costs. Tell us the date and headcount and we recommend the format.
