How to Plan Indian Catering for Your Next Big Event

November 20, 2025 6 min readBy Shaan Curry House

From guest counts to menu tiers, here is a simple, stress-free guide to catering your celebration with authentic Indian food.

Planning a big celebration can feel overwhelming, but the food does not have to be. At Shaan Curry House we have catered thousands of Ottawa events, and we have learned that a little planning goes a long way.

Step 1: Count Your Guests

Start with an honest guest count. Our catering packages are priced per person, so knowing your numbers helps you choose the right tier and avoid last-minute surprises.

Step 2: Choose Your Package

We offer three clear tiers. The Family Celebration package is perfect for house warmings and small gatherings. The Festive Gathering package suits baby showers and anniversaries. The Grand Celebration package is our most complete spread, ideal for weddings and engagements.

Step 3: Add Buffet Setup

For a truly hassle-free event, add our Buffet Setup Service. We deliver to your venue, set up chafing dishes and serving equipment, and provide a buffet operator so you can focus on your guests.

Step 4: Book Early

Popular dates fill up quickly, especially in wedding season. Submit a catering inquiry or call us at (613) 228-9759 and we will walk you through every detail.
