Navratri office catering Mumbai 2026: 11 to 20 October

Nine nights, 11 to 20 October

Navratri 2026 runs from Sunday 11 October to Tuesday 20 October. For a Mumbai office that is two briefs: the working-day lunch across the nine days, and one garba or dandiya evening, usually on a weekend inside the window. Kravvia, founded in Santacruz in 1999 by Priti S Shah, quotes both off the same published rate card, across eight cuisines, all of them vegetarian.

The office lunch

For a nine-day run, the daily office lunch programme is the format built for repetition: ₹180 to ₹280 a head plus GST, a 25-employee minimum, hot delivery Monday to Friday between 12:30 and 1:00 PM, a weekly menu vote and no lock-in. The first step is a free five-person tasting. A single Navratri lunch for one floor runs as drop-off from ₹650 per guest from 20 guests, or as a buffet with service staff from ₹850 per guest from 50.

Strict Jain on the same quote

A Mumbai office list carries strict Jain colleagues as a matter of course. Kravvia has run a fully isolated Jain kitchen since 2012, with separate prep and separate utensils, to strict spec: no roots, not merely no onion and garlic. Strict Jain service runs from ₹850 per guest, and the Jain count goes on the same written quote as the regular spread.

Fasting menus

Fasting menus are not on Kravvia's published card. If part of the office is fasting, put that headcount in the first message and ask before planning around it.

The garba evening

After two hours of garba, a slow buffet queue is what people remember. Live counters start at ₹1,200 per guest from 100 guests, and Kravvia runs nine: tandoor, wood-fired pizza, live pasta, chaat cart, churro bar, waffle press, dosa tava, Asian wok and khow suey. Offices in Powai, Goregaon and Lower Parel quote off the same card. A housing-society evening of 500 to 1,500 runs on the staffed-line format set out on the society and festival page.

The date Navratri shares with Diwali

11 October, the first night of Navratri, is also the corporate cut-off for Diwali. Lakshmi Puja falls on Sunday 8 November, the festive lead time is four weeks, and branded boxes start at 50 units. The eight assembled hampers, ₹2,000 to ₹10,500 each, and mithai at ₹850 to ₹2,100 a kilo (laddu and katri by the box, from ₹700) are on the Diwali 2026 page. An office that briefs its Navratri lunch and its Diwali gifting in one message runs one thread instead of two.
