Just across Sankey Tank from our kitchen. Sadashivanagar gatherings tend to be smaller and more particular, which suits food cooked in small batches by hand.
Sadashivanagar was laid out in the 1960s for ministers and senior officials, and it still reads that way: wide quiet avenues, large compounds, canopy trees, and houses set well back from the road. The Sankey Tank edge gives the area its morning walkers and its evening quiet. Property here rarely changes hands, so the neighbourhood has stayed residential while the city commercialised around it, and the families who live here value discretion and order. Numbers at a function are usually modest, twenty to sixty, but the expectation of care is high: courses should arrive on time, the leaf should look considered, and the vegetarian food should be beyond complaint.
Homes here are large and the gatherings are usually not. Milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners and family lunches where twenty people are looked after properly rather than two hundred fed quickly.
Milestone birthdays from the sixtieth onward, shashtiabdapoorthi and bhimaratha shanthi ceremonies, wedding receptions held at home for close family, and quiet anniversary dinners. Thithi meals are also part of the year here, cooked plainly and served with minimum fuss. The occasions are intimate by choice, so the food is often served rather than laid out, as a seated course meal.
For a seated dinner in Sadashivanagar we would suggest a lighter hand than a wedding spread: Vegetable Stew or a Palak Daal with phulka and jeera rice, a salad and a curd course, then Paal Payasam and Halu Holige for the sweet. It eats like a private dining menu and still cooks entirely in our home kitchen.
The kitchen is across Sankey Tank, about ten minutes along the tank bund and in through the Sadashivanagar side roads. The avenues are wide and quiet, so we arrive close to the agreed minute, set up quickly and without noise, and keep the service discreet for house functions. Parking inside the large compounds is usually offered, which makes unloading simple.
We set up in private homes, garden lawns and small hotel banquet rooms, around Sadashivanagar Park and Bellary Road. Every plate is pure-veg, and we prepare Jain options on request.
Do you do small seated dinners for twenty guests in Sadashivanagar? Yes, small seated dinners are some of our favourite work. We serve in courses if you prefer that to a buffet, keep the staff count minimal so the house does not feel crowded, and take back everything we bring. The food is cooked the same morning as always.
Can you cater a shashtiabdapoorthi at our Sadashivanagar home? We can. The menu follows the family's tradition, usually a full leaf meal with tovve, huli and payasam, and we can cook it without onion and garlic if the pooja requires that. Tell us the date and the expected count and we will hold the morning's cooking for it.
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.
