Diwali & Festive Catering in Bangalore: Menus and Live Counters

Festive catering in Bangalore is its own micro-season. Between Navratri and Diwali, corporate parties, apartment-block celebrations and family dinners collapse into a three-week rush — and the menu format shifts accordingly.

Here's how we approach festive and Diwali catering.

The festive menu shape

Starters lean rich: hara bhara kebab, dahi ke kebab, paneer tikka, tandoori aloo.

Mains stay traditional — paneer butter masala, dal makhani, sarson ka saag, rich pulaos.

Mithai matters more than at any other event: badam kheer, moong dal halwa, gulab jamun, kaju katli, boondi ladoo.

One live counter — chaat or jalebi-rabdi — sets the mood without over-producing.

Corporate Diwali parties

Corporate Diwali celebrations in Bangalore usually run 200–600 guests, with a mithai-forward menu, live chaat counter and a curated main course.

See our corporate catering guide for logistics on tech-park venues.

Home & apartment celebrations

For home and society Diwali parties, we lean into full traditional format — welcome drinks, chaat, hot starters, rich mains, mithai spread, live jalebi.
