Which festivals does KhanePe cater?
KhanePe sources catering for the festivals Gujarat celebrates in groups: Navratri garba nights, Diwali and New Year gatherings, Uttarayan (kite festival) lunches, Holi, Janmashtami and Ganesh Chaturthi, plus Christmas and Eid events. Offices, housing societies, clubs and families each get the best three quotes from vetted vendors.
Why book festival catering early?
Festival dates are fixed for everyone, so the best vendors fill up first. KhanePe’s minimum window is one week, but for Navratri and Diwali, booking two to four weeks ahead gives you a full choice of vendors and menus. Early booking also locks the price before festival demand peaks.

Frequently asked questions
Can KhanePe cater a Navratri event for our society?
Yes. Society garba nights usually need evening snacks or dinner for many guests across one or several nights. Share the number of nights, expected guests per night and the serving format. Vendors quote buffets, live counters or snack boxes, and KhanePe shortlists the three best. Book early, because Navratri dates fill up fast.
Do you cater Diwali office parties in Ahmedabad?
Yes. Diwali office parties are among the busiest corporate events of the year. Vendors offer festive buffets, live counters and Diwali sweets. Share headcount, venue and timing at least one week ahead, and earlier if possible, because many offices celebrate in the same week.
What food is served at Uttarayan?
Uttarayan, the kite festival on 14 January, is known in Ahmedabad for undhiyu, jalebi, puri, chikki and fresh seasonal snacks eaten on terraces. Vendors can deliver lunch and snack boxes to terraces or society common areas. Share the address and access details so delivery reaches the right floor.
Can festival menus be Jain or Swaminarayan?
Yes. Many festival gatherings in Ahmedabad include Jain and Swaminarayan guests. Vendors can prepare separate counters or packed meals without onion and garlic, and Jain meals also without root vegetables, so everyone eats the festive menu. Mention the number of guests in your inquiry.
