Biryani Catering in Toronto
Large-batch chicken, mutton or lamb biryani for events. Feeds a crowd from one tray.
Biryani is one of the best dishes to cater. It feeds a lot of people from one tray, it holds heat well, and almost everyone likes it. For gatherings across Toronto we make large-batch biryani in chicken, mutton or lamb, cooked the same way as our regular plates: basmati layered with marinated, spiced meat and steamed together.
Good for groups
Whether it is a family event, a work lunch or a community gathering, biryani scales cleanly. We portion it for your headcount and send raita to go with it. Add a curry or a dessert like watalappan to round out the spread.
How catering works
Biryani is a safe, popular choice for feeding a big group. We are a weekend kitchen, so we cater by preparing your order fresh and having it ready for pickup, or delivering it within our range. We do not staff events on site; we send the food, packed and ready to serve.
- Tell us your headcount and date and we will sort quantities.

Biryani for a Toronto crowd
Biryani is the safest catering choice there is: it travels, holds heat for hours and portions cleanly from a tray. Ours is Northern Sri Lankan style and comes with sides that most Toronto caterers do not make: eggplant moju, pineapple curry, maasi sambal, acharu and yogurt sambal.
- Vegetable Biryani Combo, roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount)

Combos have a 20 person minimum. Ask about our catering trays for 5 to 30 people (small feeds 5 to 8, medium 10 to 15, large 20 to 30).
Delivery across Toronto
We deliver from 328 Passmore Ave in north Scarborough. Scarborough, North York and East York are quickest; downtown is about 35 to 45 minutes. For large events, call and we will plan the drop.
Allergy notes
Some of our dishes contain egg (kottu, egg masala, watalappan), dairy (yogurt sambal), fish (maasi sambal is made with dried Maldives fish) and nuts (green pea cashew curry). If anyone has an allergy, tell us when you order and we will tell you what to avoid.
Splitting one Toronto order across two combos
Most Toronto groups are mixed, so one combo rarely fits everyone. Each combo has its own 20 person minimum, which makes a split easy to price. For 60 guests with a handful of vegetarians, 40 x Chicken Biryani Combo 2 (quoted for your event) plus 20 x Vegetable Biryani Combo (quoted for your event) comes to $1,000 + $300 = confirmed in your event quote before tax and delivery.
Serving biryani from a tray
Spoon from the bottom of the tray, not just the top, so every plate gets meat and rice. Keep the lid on between rounds so the rice stays moist. For a condo party room or an office tower, book the service elevator and loading area ahead so the drop-off is quick.
