Ordering Food for a Wedding Function in Lahore — What to Know

Not every wedding function needs a full catering contract. Smaller mehndi gatherings, family dinners the night before, or after-function meals for close relatives are often better served by a large, well-planned restaurant order than by hiring a full catering team for a hundred-plus guests.

Matching the Menu to the Function

Mehndi functions tend to lean toward shareable, snackable food — BBQ platters, rolls, and pizza work well since guests are mingling rather than sitting for a formal meal. Walima and barat-adjacent family dinners usually call for a more traditional sit-down spread: biryani, karahi, and naan.

  • Mehndi (20–40 guests): BBQ platters, mixed shawarma trays, pizza — easy to eat standing.
  • Family dinner before/after function (10–20 guests): Biryani, 2 karahi flavours, naan, raita.
  • Small walima gathering: Full-course order with rice, 2 mains, bread, and dessert if available.

Ordering at Scale

For anything above 15–20 people, call or WhatsApp directly rather than ordering through the website cart — this lets the kitchen plan proper batch cooking rather than treating it as several small simultaneous orders, which affects both quality and timing.
