Indian Buffet Catering Melbourne — Weddings, Corporate & Large Events
A full Indian buffet for your wedding, function or corporate event — chafing dishes, live stations and a team who keep every tray full. Curry Queen Catering Co. caters events across Melbourne, from intimate functions to 2,000 guests.
Why Choose Us for Your Indian Buffet
A buffet only works when it's hot, full and on time. That's what we do.
From 50 to 2,000 Guests
We plan quantities, staffing and service for events of every size — our largest events have fed 1,000 to 2,000 guests.
A Menu From Every Region
Curries from five regions of India, tandoori, chaat, Indo-Chinese — plus Mediterranean and Asian fusion when your crowd is mixed.
Melbourne's Hospitality Partner
Official catering partner of W Melbourne, led by Curry Queen Chef Manpreet Sekhon and the teams behind Masti, Elchi and Eastern Spice.
Planning an Indian Buffet for a Large Event
An Indian buffet is the easiest way to feed a big crowd well. Guests choose what they love, portions look after themselves and there is something for every diet on the same table. The key is planning: enough variety across vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, the right quantities for your guest numbers, and a team who keep the buffet hot and full from the first plate to the last.
For weddings and large functions we usually recommend a mix of entrées, three to five curries across vegetarian and meat dishes, rice, freshly made breads, a few sides and two desserts. Live stations — a tandoor, a chaat counter or an Indo-Chinese wok — add theatre and take pressure off the main buffet line.
Tell us about your venue, timing and guests, and we will plan the menu, quantities, staffing and setup. Our largest events have fed 1,000 to 2,000 guests, so no function is too big.
