Punjabi wedding catering in Bandra West

A Punjabi wedding reception in Bandra West runs on a calendar that is now twenty-six years old at Kravvia — the kitchen at Hubtown Solaris in Andheri East is twelve kilometres and one flyover from the venues off Linking Road and the garden lawns at Carter Road. The economic decision a Bandra host makes when booking a 400-guest reception is whether the catering reads as buffet or statement. The food choices that separate the two are specific — slow-cooked dal makhani from the previous evening, a live tandoor running through the evening, dessert plated rather than self-served — and the gap is mostly invisible in the proposal stage.

What a Punjabi wedding in Bandra actually requires

Guest counts at Bandra West weddings typically run 300 to 600 for a reception, with cocktail pre-dinners pulling 150–250. The venue logistics matter: Bandra's older buildings have narrow service corridors, and newer event spaces along the Western Express Highway have loading docks that demand a tightly timed arrival. For a 400-guest reception, we deploy four kitchen runners, two live-counter chefs, and a dedicated dessert station crew — all briefed on the venue layout 48 hours before.

Dietary range at a mixed Punjabi-Marwadi Bandra wedding can be wide: pure Jain guests at the same table as non-Jain guests who want the full garlic butter naan experience. We handle both, simultaneously, with labelled dishes and separate serving tongs.

The Kravvia Punjabi wedding menu

The foundation is non-negotiable: Dal Makhani slow-cooked from the previous evening, Paneer Makhani in a velvety tomato-cashew gravy, Dum Aloo Punjabi, Palak Paneer. Starters include Hara Bhara Kabab, Rajma Kabab, Mini Punjabi Samosa and Corn Tikki — plated and passed before the buffet opens. The live Tandoor counter runs all evening: missi roti, tandoori naan, stuffed paratha. A dedicated Veg Biryani station keeps the rice anchored.

Dessert is where Bandra receptions tend to go quiet — people stop talking and start eating. Moong Dal Halwa, Gajar Halwa, Gulab Jamun, and Rabri form the standard quartet. We'll add a Churro Station or Waffle Bar for younger crowds who want theatre with their sugar.

Pricing band

Catering at Kravvia for a full Punjabi wedding reception in Bandra starts from ₹850 per guest for a four-course spread. Live Tandoor counters add ₹250–₹350 per guest.
