Halal Party Catering in Ajax

Authentic halal Sri Lankan & Indian party catering delivered to Ajax, roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount).

When guests arrive in waves

Birthday and anniversary parties in Ajax often run for hours. Some relatives come straight from work, some arrive after evening prayers, and some stay until the last cup of tea. The food needs to be just as good for the guests who walk in at nine as for those who were there at six.

A few habits make that work:

  1. Do not put everything out at once. Keep one tray of each dish in a chafing dish, and hold the extra trays covered in a low oven if you have the room.
  2. When a tray runs low, swap in a fresh one instead of tipping new food on top of the old.
  3. Set aside a covered plate for anyone you know will be late, before the second round of seconds.
  4. Once the last wave has eaten, cool the leftovers and get them into the fridge within two hours.

Biryani and fried chicken for a long evening

Some dishes handle a long night better than others. Biryani has the rice and meat cooked together, so it reheats well and does not separate on the plate. Fried chicken can be crisped again in a hot oven for a few minutes. Gravy curries thicken as they sit, so stir them and add a small splash of water before a late round. These are ordinary kitchen habits that work with most home cooking, ours included.

The Mutton Biryani Combo for an anniversary

For a milestone, many families want mutton on the table. Our Mutton Biryani Combo (roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount)) has mutton biryani, chicken chukka, eggplant moju, maasi sambol, pineapple curry, yogurt sambal, acharu and ktull wattalapam. That is two meats, sweet and hot sides and a dessert in one order, so there is no need to arrange a separate dessert. More on the dish is on our mutton biryani page.

Worked numbers, before tax and delivery:

  • 60 guests on the Mutton Biryani Combo: final pricing depends on your menu and headcount.
  • 30 guests on Chicken Biryani Combo 2 at quoted for your event: final pricing depends on your menu and headcount a lighter option for a birthday at home.

Both prices are per person, and every combo starts at 20 people. Ask us about mixing combos if part of the family prefers chicken.

Winter parties: driveways, steps and parking

Ajax is 25 to 30 minutes east of our kitchen on the 401, about 27 km. In winter, snow and slow traffic can stretch that, so allow for it in the time you give us. Help the drop-off go smoothly: shovel and salt the driveway and front steps, keep one spot free close to the door, and switch on the porch light. On a crowded street where every driveway is full of guests' cars, tell us whether to use a side door or the garage. Winter weekends around the holidays fill quickly, so book early. And keep a mat or old towel inside the door, because trays come in faster when nobody is worried about wet boots on the carpet.

A quick word on halal

Our chicken, beef and lamb are HMA-certified halal. If an older relative asks how you checked, you can tell them documentation is available from us on request. Elders at an anniversary often care about this more than anyone else in the room, and it is a fair question to ask any caterer.

Placing the order

Call or text (647) 449-2924 with your date, address and headcount. Our catering is drop-off or pickup only: the food arrives packed and ready to serve, and your family handles setup and serving. For a small get-together under 20 people, order individual dishes from our direct ordering page or on Uber Eats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep extra trays for later in the evening?

Keep them hot in a chafing dish or a low oven, or refrigerate them within two hours and reheat until steaming hot before serving.

What is chicken chukka?

A dry, well-spiced chicken dish with very little gravy. It is part of our Mutton Biryani Combo, so the table has chicken as well as mutton.

Do you deliver to Ajax?

Yes. Ajax is about 27 km from our kitchen, roughly a 25 to 30 minute drive along the 401.

Can we order mutton for fewer than 20 guests?

The Mutton Biryani Combo needs 20 people. For a smaller group, order Biriyani with mutton ($12) from our menu, or Boneless Mutton Devil ($14.99), which needs 10 or more people.
