East along Old Madras Road from our kitchen. Between the tech campuses and the old quarters, CV Raman Nagar keeps us doing both office and family work.
CV Raman Nagar is named for the scientist, and the institutions carry the name honestly. The research and defence laboratories off the main roads give the area its formal half: campuses behind gates, quarters inside them, and a population of scientists, officers and their families who live by the calendar and the circular. Along the Old Madras Road side the newer half has arrived, tech offices and apartment blocks filling whatever land the institutions left. Between the two, the older quarters streets keep their own rhythm, quiet mornings, temple evenings, and functions where the vegetarian rule is not a preference but a given.
Research institutions and long-standing quarters on one side, new tech offices on the other. That mix gives you formal institutional lunches one week and a family shashtiabdapoorthi the next, and both want the food to be properly vegetarian.
Departmental and institutional lunches, foundation day functions, retirement send-offs and seminar meals inside the campuses. On the family side, shashtiabdapoorthi and upanayana meals in the quarters homes, housewarmings in the new blocks, and festival lunches where the whole street is fed. Whatever the occasion, the expectation of properly vegetarian food, cooked cleanly, runs through all of it.
For an institutional lunch here we would suggest Rava Idli with Chutney for the morning sessions and Channa Masala with Jowar & Wheat Roti for lunch, heavy enough for a working afternoon and millet-true to the area's tastes. Coconut Burfi travels well for the tea break, and nothing on the plate needs explanation.
East along Old Madras Road the run is about forty minutes off peak, more once the traffic builds toward KR Puram side. Institution gates run on passes and escort rules, so we take the contact of the coordinating officer when booking and reach the gate with time in hand. The quarters community halls are inside the campuses, which means everything, food, tables, water, comes in with us and leaves with us.
We set up in campus dining halls, office cafeterias and quarters community rooms, around CV Raman Nagar Main Road and Old Madras Road. Every plate is pure-veg, and we prepare Jain options on request.
Can you deliver to institutions and labs inside CV Raman Nagar? Yes, with the campus process followed properly: gate pass applied for in advance, our team's names and vehicle number given ahead, and delivery coordinated with the administrative officer of the department. Institutional timings are treated as fixed, and we arrive before them.
Do you cater family functions in the CV Raman Nagar quarters? We do. Family functions in the quarters follow strict vegetarian custom, often without onion and garlic, and we cook exactly to that. The halls inside are booked through the administration, so we align with whatever timings and rules the allotment carries.
Use the enquiry form on this page with your occasion and headcount. We reply with a suggested menu and a quote, and adjust both until they fit. Weddings and corporate events need about a week, small gatherings a couple of days.
