Halal Nikah Catering in Vaughan

Authentic halal nikah catering delivered to Vaughan, from $20 per person.

A smaller guest list opens up the menu

In Vaughan, plenty of nikahs take place at home with close family, before a larger reception somewhere else. Thirty people in a living room is a very different job from three hundred in a hall. The good news is that at this size, even our top-priced combos stay manageable. Thirty guests on a $29 combo is $870 before tax and delivery, so you can choose the menu you actually want rather than the one the budget forces.

String Hopper Biryani or Mutton Biryani: a side-by-side

Both cost $29 per person. Each combo is priced per person with a 20-person minimum. They suit different families.

String Hopper Biryani Combo

String-hopper biryani, chicken korma, eggplant moju, pineapple curry, yogurt sambal and maasi sambol. String hopper biryani is made with string hoppers, fine steamed rice-flour noodles, cooked biryani style instead of rice. The chicken korma alongside it is slightly sweet, with tomato and onion. Pick this one if your elders love string hoppers, or if you want something guests will not have had at every other wedding this year. It has no dessert, so plan the sweet separately.

Mutton Biryani Combo

Mutton biryani, chicken chukka, eggplant moju, maasi sambol, pineapple curry, yogurt sambal, acharu and kithul watalappan. This is the fuller, richer table, with two meats, a pickle and dessert included. Pick it when you want the classic celebration plate and do not want to think about sweets.

Something sweet right after the signing

Many families share sweets as soon as the nikah is announced, before the meal itself. If you go with the String Hopper Biryani Combo, add Vattalappam ($15 on our menu): a Sri Lankan coconut custard made with kithul jaggery, coconut milk, eggs, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon. It is served cold, so it can sit in the fridge until the dua is done and come straight out. Note the eggs if anyone avoids them. Read more about it on our watalappan page.

Grandparents and little ones at the same table

A home nikah puts every generation in one room. For older relatives, the softer dishes go down easiest: biryani, chicken korma, pineapple curry and the cool yogurt sambal. Keep the maasi sambol in a small bowl with its own spoon rather than next to the rice, since it is hot and contains fish. Children usually manage the biryani and the chicken without trouble. Seat elders first and bring their plates to them, so they are not standing in the queue in their best clothes.

Getting to Vaughan on the day

Vaughan is about 35 km from our kitchen in north Scarborough, usually 35 to 40 minutes on the 407 or the 401. Home nikahs often run on family time rather than the clock, so give us a delivery window that starts before the earliest likely end of the ceremony. Weekend traffic on the 400-series highways can be heavy, so book early and confirm the address, buzzer or gate details a few days ahead. If guests are parking on the street, keep the driveway free so the delivery can pull right up to the door.

Two Vaughan budgets

• 30 guests, String Hopper Biryani Combo: 30 x $29 = $870, plus Vattalappam for the sweet.
• 60 guests, Mutton Biryani Combo: 60 x $29 = $1,740, dessert included.

Both are before tax and delivery. Catering is drop-off or pickup only, so set up your own warmers and serving spoons. To learn more about the first option, see our string hopper biryani page, or call or text (647) 449-2924.
