Planner's guide

Best For: Indian cuisine events, corporate lunch catering, wedding receptions, community gatherings and cultural celebrations

What planners usually like:

  • Specialized cuisine expertise allows for authentic menu offerings that differentiate your event from standard catering options
  • Clear communication practices reduce misunderstandings about dietary requirements, portion sizes, and delivery logistics
  • Dedicated catering teams handle setup and service, freeing planners to focus on other event details and guest experience

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales differently for smaller versus larger events
  • Verify what's included in service (staff, serving equipment, cleanup) versus what requires additional fees or rentals
  • Discuss delivery radius from their Phoenix location and any travel fees, especially if your event is outside central Phoenix
  • Ask about flexibility with custom menu requests versus set packages, and timeline needed for menu approval

Common questions

Does Aja Catering work with events outside their Phoenix location?

Their primary service area is Phoenix, but you should contact them directly at +1 602-412-7870 to discuss your specific event location. Some catering companies have delivery radius limits or charge additional fees for outlying areas, so clarifying this early prevents booking complications.

What dietary accommodations can Aja Catering provide?

Since they specialize in Indian cuisine, they're well-positioned to handle vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free requests common in Indian cooking. Contact them to discuss any allergen concerns or specific dietary restrictions for your guest list, as accommodation options may vary by menu selections.

How far in advance should I book Aja Catering for my event?

Catering services typically need 2-4 weeks minimum notice, though peak seasons (weddings, holidays) may require longer lead times. Reach out early to check their availability for your date and any deadlines for menu finalization or guest count confirmation.

What's included in their catering service—staff, plates, utensils?

The description emphasizes quality service, but you'll need to ask specifically about what's bundled versus separate costs. Clarify whether service staff, serving utensils, plates, napkins, and cleanup are included or if you need to arrange rentals separately.

Can Aja Catering accommodate last-minute changes to guest counts?

Most caterers can adjust quantities if given reasonable notice (24-48 hours), but this depends on their prep schedule. When you contact them, ask about their policy on changes and whether there are minimum adjustments they can accommodate.

What's the best way to schedule a menu tasting or consultation?

Call +1 602-412-7870 during their business hours (Mon, Wed, Fri-Sat 11 AM-6 PM; Sun 11 AM-3 PM) or use their website to inquire. Since they're closed Tuesdays and Thursdays, plan your contact timing accordingly to get prompt responses.
