Live Counters

5 questions

How many live counters should I book?

100 to 250 guests: one or two. 250 to 500: two or three. 500-plus: three to five, depending on format. The right number is more about cuisine balance than headcount: one savoury station, one sweet or dessert station is the working baseline.

What is the minimum guest count for a live counter?

100 guests. Below that, chef labour math doesn't balance for either side: a buffet from the regular menu is the better call.

Do you provide the equipment for live counters?

Yes, fully equipped stations, plating, utensils, decor and the chef. The venue provides power (if outdoor) and a 6-by-6 ft footprint per station.

Can I mix counters across cuisines?

Yes. Most events do. Chaat plus pizza is the classic crowd combo. Tandoor plus pasta is the other regular. Kravvia suggests pairings based on guest profile.

How long does live counter setup take?

Three hours from arrival to fully operational. The team handles equipment, uniforms and mise en place. The venue confirms footprint and power point the week before.

Jain

6 questions

What makes Kravvia's Jain catering different?

A genuine Jain kitchen is not a regular kitchen with the onion left out. It is a separate prep area, separate utensils, no roots (no onion, garlic, potato, ginger, beetroot or carrot), no fermented food after sundown, and a menu written to either Vaishnav-friendly or strict Jain spec. That kitchen is kept fully separate from regular prep.

What is on a typical Jain wedding spread?

For a 200-guest sangeet or reception: Jain Dal Makhani, Jain Paneer Makhani, Veg Kadai (Jain), Paneer Kadai (Jain), Jeera Rice, plain paratha, plus a dessert station with moong dal halwa and kesar milk, gulab jamun and fresh fruit. Live counters in Jain spec: chaat (Jain), pizza (Jain, served before sundown), churro, waffle. Pricing from ₹850 per guest.

Do you cater to strict Jain versus Vaishnav-friendly?

Both. Strict Jain: no onion, garlic, potato, ginger, beetroot or carrot, asafoetida only where the family's spec permits, and dietary timing observed on request. Vaishnav-friendly: no onion, no garlic, root vegetables permitted. Send the spec sheet; the menu plans around it.

How far in advance should I book Jain catering?

Weddings of any size: 14 days notice is the comfortable minimum, longer in peak season (October to February). Under-50-guest events: a week is usually workable. WhatsApp +91 98207 11758 to lock dates.

Do you have Jain Diwali or festive sweet boxes?

Yes. The exotic dry fruit sweet line is fully Jain-friendly at ₹2,400/kg, boxed from eight pieces at ₹560. The sugar-free line is not sold as Jain: its Honey variety is excluded in Jain observance. Logo branding on the box for orders of 50-plus.

What areas in Mumbai do you cover for Jain catering?

Andheri East and West, Bandra, Juhu, Powai, BKC, Lower Parel, South Bombay, Vile Parle, Santacruz, Khar, Worli, Goregaon. The Jain kitchen is fully isolated: separate prep, separate utensils.

What is the minimum order for sweets?

Yes, cold-chain courier for perishables. Ice halwa and peda ship best within 48 hours. Dry fruit sweets and the sugar-free range keep longer and ship pan-India reliably. Mumbai delivery is free on orders above ₹3,000; below that, and courier outside Mumbai, is charged at actual cost. Food is not returnable; an order damaged in transit is replaced.

All are dry-fruit base with no refined sugar and no artificial sweeteners. Honey and dates are still sugars, so diabetic recipients should check with their doctor.

Are all Kravvia sweets Jain-friendly?

Most of the range is naturally Jain-friendly: no onion, garlic or root vegetables in sweets. The exotic dry fruit range, ice halwa, peda and barfi are Jain-acceptable; the sugar-free line is not, because its Honey variety is excluded in Jain observance. Confirm specific spec on WhatsApp.

General

6 questions

What is Kravvia?

Kravvia, listed on Google as Kravvia Catering Services, is a women-led vegetarian caterer in Mumbai, founded in 1999 in Santacruz by Priti S Shah. It caters offices, weddings and house parties in eight cuisines from ₹650 per guest and runs strict Jain service. Head office: Hubtown Solaris, Andheri East. Kravvia, spelt with two Vs, is a caterer; it is not KRVIA, the architecture college.

Is Kravvia FSSAI licensed?

Kravvia's catering, mithai and the food in its hampers are produced to Kravvia's specification in FSSAI-licensed partner kitchens. Licence details on request.

Do you accommodate gluten-free requirements?

Most Indian and regional dishes can be prepared gluten-free: rice-based mains, dal, curry and Jain preparations are naturally gluten-free. Production is not, however, fully segregated for gluten, so trace cross-contamination is possible. Flag celiac sensitivity at enquiry.

Is there a sugar-free or diabetic-friendly menu for events?

Yes. The sugar-free dessert range matches the sweets line and is available at events. For diabetic guests, reduced-sugar versions of select dishes can be prepared and clearly labelled at the buffet. Mention at enquiry.

Do dishes contain nuts or are they nut-free?

Many Indian dishes (gravies, sweets, kormas) carry cashews, almonds or other nuts as core ingredients. Production cannot be guaranteed nut-free. For severe nut allergies, flag at booking and the menu plans accordingly.

Who is the founder of Kravvia?

Kravvia was founded in 1999 by Priti S Shah, a culinary entrepreneur who began catering family weddings and has grown the business since then into one of Mumbai's women-led culinary houses. She is still on the tools and replies to WhatsApp herself.
