Planner's guide

Best For: South Indian vegetarian events, corporate lunch and dinner functions, wedding receptions and ceremonies, family celebrations and gatherings

What planners usually like:

  • Extended operating hours (6 AM – 10 PM daily) provide flexibility for breakfast events, lunch functions, and evening gatherings without scheduling constraints
  • Consistent availability throughout the week, including weekends, eliminates the challenge of finding weekend catering availability during peak event seasons
  • Velachery location with service across Chennai reduces travel logistics and setup time for events in central and southern Chennai areas
  • Direct contact availability (+91 95001 97209) allows planners to discuss customization and special dietary requirements without intermediaries

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales differently for smaller versus larger events (50 guests vs. 500 guests)
  • Understand their typical menu offerings and whether they can accommodate specific regional preferences, dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free), or fusion cuisine requests
  • Verify what's included in their catering package—whether it covers serving staff, table setup, cutlery, plates, beverages, and desserts, or if these are add-ons with additional charges
  • Ask about their lead time requirements for booking, cancellation policies, and whether they handle events on short notice or require advance planning of 2+ weeks

Common questions

What's the typical process for getting a catering quote from SSI Iyengars?

Contact them directly at +91 95001 97209 or through their website with details about your event—guest count, date, venue, and menu preferences. They'll provide a customized quote based on your specific requirements. Since pricing varies by menu and guest count, discussing your budget upfront helps them tailor appropriate options.

Can they handle events with short notice, or do they require advance booking?

Most catering services prefer 1-2 weeks' advance notice for smooth coordination. Contact SSI Iyengars directly to confirm their minimum lead time, as this varies based on guest count and menu complexity. Weekend events and large gatherings typically need more advance planning.

What should I ask about their menu to ensure it fits my event theme?

Inquire about their standard menu options, regional specialties (they appear to focus on Iyengar cuisine), vegetarian offerings, dessert selections, and whether they customize menus for specific themes. Ask if they can accommodate fusion menus or specific dietary requirements like vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious preparations.

Are serving staff, setup, and table service included in their catering pricing?

Catering packages vary—some include full service (staff, setup, cleanup) while others provide only food delivery. Clarify whether staff, table settings, beverages, bar service, and cleanup are included or charged separately to avoid unexpected costs.

How do they handle events at different venues across Chennai?

Ask about delivery and setup logistics for your specific venue location. Confirm whether they provide onsite setup, keep food warm during transport, and if there are additional charges for venues far from Velachery or those with limited kitchen access.

What's their cancellation or modification policy if event plans change?

Understand their cancellation timeline—whether changes within 7 days incur fees, what happens if guest count increases/decreases, and if deposits are refundable. This protects you from unexpected charges if plans shift.
