How much does house warming catering cost in Bangalore?+
Sukhdev Caterers' Griha Pravesha catering starts at ₹350 per plate for a traditional South Indian breakfast and ranges up to ₹850 per plate for an extended mixed lunch. Most 100‑guest house warmings settle between ₹45,000 and ₹75,000 all-in, exclusive of 5% GST.
Do you cater sattvic (no onion, no garlic) puja meals?+
Yes. Our sattvic Griha Pravesha menu is prepared in a segregated section of our kitchen with dedicated vessels, cold-pressed oils and rock salt. It follows traditional Iyer, Iyengar, Madhwa and Smartha conventions — tell us the community and we adjust the tempering and payasam choice.
Can you serve inside an apartment or gated community?+
Absolutely — apartment house warmings are our most-booked format. We work daily inside Prestige, Sobha, Brigade, Godrej, Purva, Salarpuria and DLF communities across Whitefield, Sarjapur, Bellandur, Hebbal, Yelahanka and Electronic City. Our setup uses induction and hot-boxes only, so no LPG cylinder is carried into the flat.
What is the minimum guest count you accept?+
We take house warming bookings from 50 guests upward. Below 50 pax, we suggest our tiffin-style Griha Pravesha thali box (₹425 per box, min. 30 boxes) which is delivered ready-to-serve.
How much space do you need inside the flat?+
For 100 guests we need roughly a 6ft × 3ft buffet table in the living area and a 4ft × 2ft prep corner near the kitchen. Balcony, service lift or corridor space works for staging. We do a site recce for bookings above 120 pax.
Do you provide priest coordination or pooja items?+
We coordinate serving timings around the priest's muhurtham but do not supply pooja samagri. On request we can recommend trusted purohits in your area for a Vastu Shanti or Griha Pravesha ceremony.
How far in advance should I book?+
Weekend and auspicious-date bookings (Akshaya Tritiya, Ugadi, Dhanteras) fill up 4–6 weeks in advance. Weekday house warmings can usually be confirmed with 7–10 days' notice.
Which Bangalore areas do you cover?+
All of Bengaluru — Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, HSR Layout, Koramangala, Indiranagar, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Bannerghatta, Electronic City, Hebbal, Yelahanka, Rajajinagar, Banashankari, Malleshwaram, Marathahalli, Bellandur and Kanakapura Road. Devanahalli and Nelamangala carry a small logistics add-on.
