Vegetarian, Not an Afterthought
Real Veg Mains
Paneer tikka masala made with fresh paneer, and chana masala that carnivores steal. The same scratch cooking as everything else. See our veg & vegan menu.
Vegan Really Means Vegan
Chana masala is cooked in avocado oil instead of ghee, so it is genuinely dairy free. No quiet butter, no surprises.
Gluten-Free By Default
Every entrée is gluten-free. The naan has wheat, everything else is safe, and rice rounds out any plate.

Veg Catering Questions, Answered
Is the chana masala actually vegan?
Yes. It is cooked in avocado oil instead of ghee, so there is no dairy in it. It is also gluten-free, like every entree we make.
Can we order an all-vegetarian event?
Absolutely. Pujas, temple events and fully veg weddings are regulars. Call 480-691-4040 and we will build the menu around your event.
Can we mix veg and non-veg trays?
Yes, and most groups do: a paneer or chana tray next to the butter chicken so everyone gets a real main. Every meat we serve is certified halal.
What does it cost?
Trays feed up to 15 for $125 or up to 30 for $225, basmati rice included. Boxed meals are $15 per person with a 10-box minimum. Naan packs from $25.
How much notice do you need?
Boxed meals need just an hour; for 30 or more boxes, give us two. For multiple trays or weekend events, call a day or two ahead.

“Love it! Since the core model is drive-through, the food is served super quickly. The menu is short, but each item is very nicely prepared. It has a homely feel to it. We ordered the chicken curry and the paneer tikka—both were spot on. The owner…”
