Southeast across the city from our kitchen. Koramangala offices order in constantly, so what stands out at an event here is food that clearly came from a kitchen, not a chain.
Koramangala is the city's startup address, a layout of eight numbered blocks where the old bungalows became offices and the offices became brands. Along 80 Feet Road and the blocks around Sony World, the ground floors hold cafes and the upper floors hold companies that pitch on the second floor and eat on the first. The residential heart of the blocks survives, older families and long-time tenants amid the churn, and the food economy is the most competitive in the city. Anything catered here has been compared, priced and reviewed before it is ordered, so what arrives has to be genuinely good.
Startup offices stacked above old residential blocks. Team lunches, launch evenings, offsite kick-offs and the occasional big family function in the same building. The counts change weekly, so the menu is built to scale up or down late.
Team lunches, the weekly and the celebratory, launch evenings and offsite kick-offs in the office lofts and co-working event spaces, investor and client dinners, and milestone birthdays in the independent homes of the inner blocks. Big family functions still happen in the same buildings, and the counts on any given booking can move sharply up or down a day out, which our menu planning is built to absorb.
For a Koramangala working lunch we would suggest Baby Corn Kabab and a salad to open, Veg Jalfrezi with Aloo Parota or phulka for the main, and Classic Cold Coffee rather than the default black, which this crowd notices. For an evening event the same kitchen happily runs a chaat counter alongside, and everything scales late if the headcount does.
Southeast across the city the run is about forty-five minutes, more when Sony World and the 80 Feet Road junctions jam, which is most evenings. Buildings here have basement access but narrow ramps, so we bring the hot boxes down in trolleys sized for them. The food street side of the 5th block is avoided on our routes at dinner time, and for loft venues we confirm the lift's working state with the host before loading, not after.
We set up in startup office floors, co-working event spaces and independent homes in the blocks, around Koramangala 80 Feet Road and Sony World Signal. Every plate is pure-veg, and we prepare Jain options on request.
Can you scale a Koramangala team lunch up at the last minute? Yes, that is the norm here rather than the exception. Counts can move until the previous evening, and the menu is built so the base dishes stretch with added rice, breads and a quick snack. Because cooking happens in small batches, a jump from thirty to sixty plates rarely needs more than a heads-up.
Do you cater startup launch events in Koramangala? We do, evenings especially, from a coffee-and-canapes scale to a full spread. We serve staffed and unobtrusive, work with whatever the loft or event space allows on kitchen use, and keep the counters running for the guests who arrive late, which at a launch is most of them.
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.
