Vegan Catering Services in Mumbai
Fully plant-based catering for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations — dairy-free Indian and global menus prepared separately in our own kitchen in Marol, Andheri East.
Vegan catering is not vegetarian food with the paneer taken out. Indian cooking leans on dairy at almost every step, so a vegan menu has to be rebuilt rather than edited, and that is the part most caterers get wrong.
We have been catering across Mumbai for over 14 years, for gatherings of 20 through to functions of 2,000.
How We Make Indian Food Genuinely Vegan
Ghee in the tempering, cream in the gravies, paneer as the default protein, curd in the marinades, khoya in nearly every mithai. Here is how each of those is handled:
Instead of ghee
Cold-pressed groundnut and sesame oils, chosen per dish so the tadka still carries aroma rather than tasting flat.
Instead of cream and malai
Cashew and almond pastes, coconut milk and melon seed bases give gravies the same body. A vegan makhani made this way holds up beside the dairy version.
Instead of paneer
Firm tofu where the texture suits it, and equally often jackfruit, mushroom, soya chaap or slow-cooked vegetables — so it is not just paneer dishes with a substitute dropped in.
Instead of curd
Coconut and cashew curd for marinades, raitas and kadhi, prepared in-house rather than bought in.
Instead of khoya
Coconut, cashew and date-based mithai, jaggery halwas and kheer on plant milk, so the dessert counter is not the weak point of the meal.
Kept genuinely separate
Vegan dishes are prepared with their own utensils and their own oil, not alongside dairy. If a guest is vegan by conviction rather than preference, this is what matters.

Vegan Catering FAQs
What is the difference between vegan and pure veg catering?
Pure vegetarian food includes dairy such as milk, curd, paneer and ghee. Vegan food excludes all animal products, so no dairy or honey at all. We offer both, prepared separately. If dairy is acceptable for your event, our pure veg catering may suit you better.
Can you cater a full vegan wedding?
Yes, including multi-day functions with different menus for mehendi, ceremony and reception, with live counters and a full vegan dessert selection.
Can you serve a mixed menu where only some guests are vegan?
Yes, and this is the most common request. We run a clearly labelled vegan section prepared with separate utensils and oil, so vegan guests can eat with confidence while the rest of the menu stays as you want it.
Do you offer Jain vegan food?
Yes. Jain vegan menus exclude dairy along with onion, garlic and root vegetables, and are prepared as a separate menu rather than by removing ingredients from existing dishes.
Can we taste the menu before booking?
Yes. We arrange a tasting for larger functions so you can finalise the menu before confirming.
Is vegan catering more expensive?
Broadly comparable. Cashew and almond bases cost more than dairy, but that is usually offset elsewhere in the menu. We quote per plate once we know your guest count and menu.
Where in Mumbai do you cater?
Across Mumbai from our kitchen in Marol, Andheri East, including Andheri, Bandra, BKC, Powai, Juhu, Lower Parel and South Mumbai, and out to Navi Mumbai and Thane for larger functions.
