Unlike mixed caterers, Sukhdev Caterers operates a 100% pure vegetarian central kitchen in Hebbal Kempapura. We guarantee zero risk of cross-contamination, dedicated Satvik preparations (without onion/garlic for traditional rituals), and separate Jain counter setups for religious ceremonies.
Per-plate rates dip 8–12% between 100 and 500 guests as fixed logistics amortise. Above 500 guests the rate stabilises.
Two cuisines is the baseline. Each additional cuisine (Continental, Thai, Mexican) adds roughly ₹80–150 per plate depending on menu depth.
A single live counter (chaat, tandoor, pasta) typically adds ₹120–250 per plate. A full 4-counter reception spread can add ₹500 per plate.
Buffet is baseline. Plated/pre-set adds ~15%. Choreographed rotating service (5-star style) adds ~25%.
Central Bangalore and 5-star hotel venues add on-site kitchen surcharges. Farmhouses and community halls are the most economical.
November–February (peak wedding season) is 10–15% higher than off-season rates for the same package.
