Vegetarian and fasting requests

Tell Cedars how your group observes Navratri.

Navratri food traditions are not identical from one household or community to another. The suggested menus above are standard vegetarian Cedars catering menus; they are not automatically strict fasting or vrat menus. If your group follows specific ingredient restrictions, include them in your inquiry so the kitchen can confirm what can be accommodated.

Garba, office, campus & community events

A festival can be bigger than one dining table.

For workplace celebrations, university groups, Garba or Dandiya gatherings, temples, cultural organizations, and larger Dussehra events, start with the headcount and serving time. Cedars can help shape a buffet around the room, dietary mix, and event format.

Keeping it smaller?

Build the table with party trays.

If you do not need a complete catered buffet, choose selected Cedars curries, samosas, rice, and naan by serving count. Party trays are a simpler path for family gatherings and smaller celebrations.
