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. A tasting 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.
