Formats

Six ways to serve.

One wedding usually uses three or four of these across its days.

  • Buffet

    Haldi, sangeet, large numbers

    Display tables in silver, glass, wood or ceramic, with risers.

  • Seated dinner

    The reception, the family dinner

    Full mise en place and staff at every table, imperial or round.

  • Family style

    Smaller receptions, the day after

    Shared platters on the table. Fewer courses, more time.

  • Live stations

    Every day of the wedding

    Tandoor, dosa, chaat and pani puri, a chef at each.

  • Passed canapés

    Mehndi, cocktail hour, sangeet

    Trays and finger food, staff moving through the guests.

  • Street food and food truck

    Welcome evening, late night

    The NURA truck, the first Indian food truck in Italy.

Behind the day

The work nobody sees.

The result depends on what happens before the guests arrive: spaces, equipment, flows, and the coordination with the venue, the planner and the other suppliers.

A brigade of chefs from different regions of India, the service staff, and the people who plan the floor. Three hundred guests in a villa without a kitchen is a normal day.

For planners

The questions planners ask.

Can NURA work inside a project run by another caterer?

Yes. In food-only mode we bring the Indian kitchen, the tandoor and the live stations into a set-up run by others, and coordinate with them.

Do you handle beverage as well?

In full-service mode, yes: bar, beverage stations, lassi and juice dispensers, samovar and coffee stations.

What does NURA need from the venue?

Where there is a professional kitchen, we use it. Where there is none, we bring a mobile kitchen and agree its position, access and utilities with the venue.

How quickly do you reply?

Within 24 to 48 working hours. On days when the team is on an event it can take a little longer.

Send the date and the venue.

We will tell you what the day takes, in writing.
