Keeping it smaller?

Build the table with party trays.

If you do not need a complete catered buffet, choose selective Cedars curries, samosas, and naan by serving count. Party trays are designed for straightforward pickup and smaller gatherings. For a complete buffet beyond Diwali, you can also explore Cedars catering menus.

Yes. The three feasts are starting points. Tell Cedars what you would like to change and the team will confirm the updated menu and price with you.

Do you offer vegetarian options?+

Yes. There is a vegetarian Diwali starting menu, and mixed menus can also be adjusted for your guest group. For severe allergies or cross-contamination concerns, contact Cedars directly so the kitchen can review the request.

Where is Diwali catering pickup, and do you deliver?+

What if I only want a few trays?+

Use the party tray menu for a simpler order of selected curries, samosas, and naan without building a complete catered buffet.
