Events in Palo Alto cover an enormous range. The catering requirement across all of them is the same: food that serves a diverse guest list, travels well, holds its quality over the service window, and gives guests something to talk about.
Indian street food satisfies all four. Pav bhaji, Mumbai's slow-cooked spiced vegetable mash with buttered rolls, holds temperature and texture over a two-hour service window better than most buffet preparations because it was designed to be cooked and held at street food stalls. Kachori chaat, with its crispy shell, cool yogurt, and layered chutneys, provides a visually impressive starter that guests photograph. The Tikka Masala Burrito is individually portioned and self-contained, which makes it ideal for standing events where guests eat in rotation.
The Opening Course
Begin with kachori chaat as the arrival dish. The crispy North Indian pastry topped with yogurt, tamarind chutney, and sev is visually striking and immediately conversation-generating for guests who respond to bold, authentic presentations. Follow with pav bhaji as the communal warm dish. Mumbai's spiced vegetable mash with buttered rolls is fully plant-based, warmly spiced without being aggressive, and works across every dietary profile at the table from a single preparation.
Main Service: Pav Bhaji and Burritos
The Tikka Masala Burrito is the strongest individual format for event catering. Individual portions labeled by protein build. Chicken tikka for meat eaters, paneer for vegetarians, vegan saag for plant-based colleagues, and riced cauliflower for keto and gluten-conscious team members. Every option is halal-certified. Every build is labeled individually.
The Table Centerpiece
The Naughty Naan Indian pizza, built on naan flatbread with caramelized onions, jalapeño, mozzarella, cotija, and choice of tandoori protein or pav bhaji as a topping, works as the centerpiece dish for event tables where the food is part of the celebration atmosphere. It is visually distinctive, shareable, and consistently the dish that converts first-time Indian food guests immediately.
Family and Dietary Coverage
For events with families present, the kids bowl covers younger guests with a mild, halal-certified, filling meal that integrates with the adult catering spread without requiring a separate children's service track. Complete allergen and ingredient detail for every menu item is available at curryupnow.com/allergens.
