How It Works
Two ways to book your catering
Either fill out the catering form for a custom quote, or place your order right now in our online catering portal.
Option 01
Fill out the form for a custom quote
Send us your date, headcount, service style and dietary needs. We'll come back with a menu and a quote built around your event — best for weddings, staffed service and restaurant buyouts.
Option 02
Order online through our catering portal
Know what you want? Our portal lists dishes by the individual order, so just add the quantities you need and choose pickup or drop-off delivery at checkout — ideal for office lunches and smaller gatherings.
When you order several of the same dish, we'll combine them into a single large tray to keep the food hotter, easier to serve and to cut down on single-use packaging. Want them boxed individually instead? Just add a note to your order.

Catering FAQ & service areas
Indian catering — questions & where we serve
We cater offices, weddings, campus events and parties across Madison and Dane County — and anywhere in Wisconsin when you need us. Pickup, drop-off delivery, fully staffed service or a private buyout of the restaurant.
How do I place a catering order?
Two ways: fill out our catering request form for a custom quote, or order directly through our online catering portal. You can also call (608) 284-7958 with your date and headcount.
What catering service options do you offer?
Pickup at 444 S. Park St., delivery (drop-off) with setup, fully staffed catering where our team serves and cleans up, and private dining — you can buy out the restaurant for your group. Browse the full food menu and drink menu to start planning.
Can I buy out the restaurant for a private event?
Yes. We offer private dining buyouts of the dining room and full bar. Fill out the catering form with your date and guest count and we’ll quote a full buyout — see directions and parking for your guests.
How far in advance should I book catering?
The sooner the better, especially on weekends and for staffed events or buyouts. Call (608) 284-7958 with your date and headcount and we’ll build a menu.
Do you deliver and set up catering?
Yes — drop-off delivery arrives hot in serving trays, set up and ready to serve. For fully staffed catering our team stays to serve, replenish and clean up.
Can you handle vegetarian, vegan or halal-style menus?
Yes, we build vegetarian and mixed menus regularly and can adjust dishes for dietary needs — see the vegetarian sections of our menu. Tell us what you need on the form or when you call.
Does the online catering portal order by the tray?
Our online catering portal is set up by the individual order rather than by the tray — add the quantity you need of each dish. When several of the same dish are ordered together, we combine them into one large tray so the food stays hotter, serves more easily and uses far less single-use packaging. Prefer individually packed portions? Add a note to your order or call (608) 284-7958. For tray-by-tray buffet pricing, use the catering request form instead.
Can I get individually packed portions?
Yes — tell us in your order notes or on the catering form and we'll pack each portion separately. Otherwise we default to combining bulk quantities of the same dish into large trays to reduce packaging waste.
Is there a minimum order?
It depends on the menu, service style and date — call us and we'll walk you through options for your group size.
Do you cater anywhere in Wisconsin?
Yes. For larger events we travel statewide — tell us the city, date and headcount and we’ll quote delivery and setup. Catering in these Wisconsin cities:

Can you cater at a venue or office we don't own?
Yes. Tell us the venue and load-in time and we'll coordinate delivery and setup — we regularly cater at campus buildings, hotels, event halls and office parks around Madison.
Can we do a group lunch instead of catering?
Absolutely — our daily lunch buffet and lunch combos work well for teams, and every visit earns Taj Rewards points.
