What We Do
Catering for Every Occasion
From a five-hundred-guest reception to a five-thousand-guest valima, the same kitchen discipline and the same warmth of welcome — at your banquet hall.
Valima & Reception
The valima reception is where a family is seen at its most generous. Grand buffets, live counters and service paced so no guest ever waits.
Plan Your Valima →Corporate & Delegations
Flawlessly coordinated hospitality for conferences, iftars and formal dinners — punctual, presentable and briefed to your run-sheet.
Request Proposal →Engagement & Aqiqah
Mangni, aqiqah, milad and sunnat functions held at banquet halls across the city. Full setup and clearing handled by our brigade.
Check Availability →Our Riwayat
A Tradition Carried, Not Copied
Riwayat means tradition — a narration passed carefully from one hand to the next. That is exactly how our kitchen works. The masalas are ground, not bought. The rice is aged basmati, layered by hand. The handi is sealed with dough and left alone over charcoal embers until the steam has done its slow work.
"Every dish carries a little piece of Hyderabad."
There are faster ways to cook for a thousand people. We have not adopted any of them. What reaches your guests is what would reach our own table — and that is the only standard we have ever kept.

Zafrani Dum Biryani
Aged basmati and saffron milk layered over marinated meat, sealed under dough and cooked until the steam alone finishes it.
Royal Main Table

Set cream strewn with almonds, pistachio and silver varq — carried to the main table and cut in front of your guests.
To Finish
Qubani ka Meetha

Kind Words
What Our Hosts Say
A few words from families whose celebrations we have had the honour of feeding.
★★★★★
Guests are still talking about the biryani weeks later. The team arrived early, set up without a single question to us, and served four hundred people without one plate running short.
Valima, Hyderabad
★★★★★
We had a tasting, changed two dishes, and they accommodated it without hesitation. On the day itself the presentation was far beyond what we had expected.
Nikah Function
★★★★★
Twelve hundred guests and not one of them waited. The counters stayed full from the first sitting to the last, and the biryani was as good at the end as it was at the start.

Common Questions
Before You Book
We have been catering in Hyderabad since 2018. In that time we have served hundreds of nikah, valima, aqiqa and reception functions across the city and destination events elsewhere in India.
We are based at Bandlaguda Jagir, Hyderabad and cater at function halls and banquet venues across the city — Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Tolichowki, Mehdipatnam, Attapur and beyond — as well as destination events throughout India.
We recommend booking 4 to 8 weeks ahead for weddings and valima functions. Peak wedding season dates are taken earlier, so enquire as soon as your date is fixed.
Yes. Our biryani is sealed and slow-cooked on dum in copper handis at your venue, so it reaches your guests at its peak.
Yes. Shadi, valima and reception functions are the majority of what we do. The Mehfil package is our most chosen for valima, with live chai and paan stalls; the Shahi and Nawabi packages add Pathar ka Gosht, Arabian Mandi and whole roast lamb.
Yes. Every package can be prepared fully vegetarian or as a mixed menu on request. The printed packages show our non-vegetarian selection, so let us know when you enquire and we will build the vegetarian menu around your guest count and occasion.
