Jain wedding catering in Juhu: the separation rule
Juhu Jain weddings of 200 to 400 guests need more than onion removal — they need a separated Jain prep area, a rebuilt aromatic base, and a tasting that is itself Jain.
A Jain wedding in Juhu is not a dietary accommodation overlaid on a regular catering plan. It is the entire spread, served to a crowd that grew up eating real Jain food and recognises every shortcut. The Kravvia rule before the menu conversation begins is operational: the Jain kitchen is a separate kitchen. Separate prep area, separate boards, separate vessels, separate serving utensils — and a cook whose first instinct is to ask rather than assume. Juhu families have been booking on this premise since 1999, and the Jain wedding remains the category that most distinguishes a serious caterer from a competent one.
What Juhu Jain wedding guests expect
Guest counts for Juhu Jain weddings typically run 200–400 for a reception, with mehendi and sangeet events in the 100–200 range. The crowd is often a mix of strict Jain (no roots, no fermented ingredients, asafoetida in careful measure) and Vaishnav-friendly guests who have some flexibility. We brief our serving staff on the distinction and label every dish clearly.
Juhu venues — the bungalow lawns near Juhu Beach, the hotel ballrooms off Juhu Tara Road — tend to have good service access. The real complexity is the Jain spec itself: a menu that is genuinely deep, not a stripped-down version of a regular menu.
The Kravvia Jain wedding spread
Our Jain wedding menu is built from the ground up. Starters: Hara Bhara Kabab (Jain), Rajma Kabab (Jain), Corn Tikki, Green Peas Ghughra. Main course: Jain Dal Makhani (slow-simmered urad dal without onion, garlic or roots — rebuilt with tomato depth and cashew paste), Jain Paneer Makhani, Jain Amritsari Chana, Jain Malai Methi Matar, Veg Kadai (Jain), Dum Aloo Punjabi (Jain). Rice: Jeera Rice and Veg Pulao. Breads: plain paratha, missi roti from the live Tandoor.
Dessert at a Jain wedding is a strong suit: Moong Dal Halwa with kesar milk, Gajar Halwa in winter season, Gulab Jamun, Rabri with fresh fruit. We don't serve anything fermented — so no yoghurt-based desserts, and all cream is confirmed fresh.
Pricing band
Jain wedding catering at Kravvia starts from ₹850 per guest for a full four-course Jain spread. A live Jain Chaat Counter (pani puri with Jain-spec pani, sev puri, bhel with Jain condiments) adds ₹200–₹300 per guest. The Jain specification adds a 10–15% prep premium to standard pricing because of the separate kitchen requirement.
Booking notes
Juhu wedding bookings need 30 days' notice minimum. Tasting at our Andheri East kitchen — same neighbourhood, a 15-minute drive — is complimentary for confirmed bookings of 150+ guests. We'll also walk you through the Jain spec in detail at the tasting so you can flag any family-specific restrictions (paryushana purity, no ginger, etc.).

Frequently asked
Is your Jain kitchen completely separate from the regular kitchen? Yes — separate prep area, separate boards, separate utensils. Not a shared kitchen with Jain substitutions.
Do you handle paryushana-level Jain spec? We can. Tell us at booking stage — paryushana spec (no green vegetables, no eggplant, stricter root policy) requires a 21-day notice so we can source appropriately.
What's the lead time for a 300-guest Jain reception? We prefer 30 days, but 21 days is workable with a confirmed menu and count.
Can you do a Jain tasting? Yes — our tasting menu includes Jain items specifically, not just the regular spread with Jain labelling.
