Fifteen minutes from our kitchen, past New BEL Road. Sanjaynagar functions are usually family-sized, which is exactly how our mothers like to cook.
Sanjaynagar was laid out in the late 1970s, largely for public sector families, and it has aged into one of the settled corners of north Bengaluru. The houses are independent, single or double floored, with gardens that have had forty years to grow, and the streets carry the calm of a neighbourhood where people moved in young and stayed. The RMV extensions fold into it on the south side. Many homes now hold parents in their seventies and eighties with children visiting from abroad or from Whitefield, which shapes what a family function here looks like: smaller counts, older guests, and food that must suit both.
A settled residential pocket where a lot of families have lived for decades. Sixtieth birthdays, shashtiabdapoorthi ceremonies and Sunday lunches for visiting relatives are the usual reasons to call a caterer here.
Milestone birthdays, the sixtieth, the seventieth, the eightieth, are the signature events here, along with shashtiabdapoorthi celebrations when a couple completes sixty years. Sunday lunches for visiting relatives, upanayanas for the grandchildren, and annaprashana first-rice ceremonies happen quietly through the year, usually at home with the elders choosing the menu.
For a Sanjaynagar family lunch we would suggest Poori with Veg Kurma and Aloo Sagu for the older guests who like their food soft and familiar, a tovve and palya alongside, and Kar Kadabu and Kobbari Mithai with the coffee instead of a heavy sweet. It is a menu built for three generations at one table.
The drive past New BEL Road takes about fifteen minutes off peak, a little more when the morning traffic builds toward the BEL gates. Most houses here have driveways or wide streets to park on, so home setups are easy, and we bring the serving table and hot boxes in one load. The small community halls have limited parking, so we arrive ahead of the guests, never with them.
We set up in homes in the RMV layouts, small community halls and apartment party rooms, around Sanjaynagar Main Road and RMV 2nd Stage. Every plate is pure-veg, and we prepare Jain options on request.
Can you cook a Sunday lunch in Sanjaynagar for visiting relatives? That is a regular kind of order for us. Counts between fifteen and forty, served on the leaf or plate at home, with the menu tilted toward what the elders at the table will recognise. We cook the same morning in Malleshwaram and bring it over hot, about fifteen minutes away.
Do you make shashtiabdapoorthi meals for Sanjaynagar families? Yes. The meal follows the couple's family custom, typically a full vegetarian spread with tovve, huli, palyas and payasam, and can be prepared without onion and garlic for the pooja. We can serve it seated in courses if the guests are mostly elderly.
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.
