Alfie Davies28 Jul 2025
Would highly recommend - we held a camping party of around 70 guests for a combined hen/stag-do and requested the chickpea masala and potato & spinach, along with samosas and bhajis - all of which was delicious!
Asad was super responsive and very friendly. He was understanding and easy to communicate with, which was important for us as we had two guests with severe nut allergies and one coeliac, who were all carefully catered for. Although usually he said that they can't ensure that the (did I already say delicious?!) samosas aren't cross-contaminated with nuts, Asad went the extra mile and sourced nut-free pastry so that the bride (who was one of the two guests with a nut allergy) could eat them. He also made sure the samosas were safely stored away from the rest of the food to make sure the pastry didn't cross contaminate the rest of the food for the coeliac guest.
All in all a great experience and the guests all loved it!

Banana Leaf was excellent. The food was amazing and all the guest said how much they enjoyed it ( we had vegan, beef ad chicken curry with sides of samosas). Shahid was so professional from when he contacted me to discuss food and organize the events , to the set up on the day and clearing away. It took l the stress out of catering and was a lovely event in itself seeing Shahid and Ibrahim cook this wonderful food in the garden. I would highly recommend them .

Your Go-To Guide for Hiring Indian Caterers in Leicester
Leicester and Indian food go together like naan and a good curry. With one of the largest South Asian communities in the UK, the city has a deep-rooted love for vibrant spices, generous hospitality and big, joyful celebrations. So, if you’re planning a wedding, birthday or corporate dinner and thinking about Indian catering, you’re absolutely in the right place.
We’ve put together this buyer’s guide to help you book the perfect Indian caterer in Leicester. From menus and pricing to venues and vibes, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know, minus the waffle. Let’s get your event tasting as good as it looks.
Why Indian Catering Works So Brilliantly in Leicester
Indian cuisine is a natural fit for Leicester’s event scene. It’s colourful, aromatic, endlessly customisable and ideal for feeding a crowd. Whether you’re hosting a traditional South Asian wedding, a laid-back birthday party or a polished corporate dinner, Indian catering delivers flavour, flexibility and proper wow-factor.
Another bonus? It’s incredibly inclusive. With so many vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options built into the cuisine, it’s one of the easiest ways to keep all your guests happy without needing a separate menu for everyone.
In short, if you want food that gets people talking for the right reasons, Indian catering is a cracking choice.
The Types of Events Indian Caterers Are Perfect For
Indian caterers in Leicester are well-versed in all sorts of celebrations. Here’s where they really shine.
Weddings
From multi-day traditional South Asian weddings to modern fusion celebrations, Indian catering is a staple for Leicester weddings. Expect generous spreads, rich curries, fragrant rice dishes and plenty of extras to keep guests fuelled from ceremony to dancefloor. Buffet-style catering is popular for larger wedding receptions, while plated service works beautifully for more formal banquets.
Birthdays
Big milestone birthday? Surprise party? Family get-together that’s grown legs and turned into a full-blown event? Indian catering brings warmth and variety to birthday celebrations. Guests can mix and match dishes, go back for seconds and linger a little longer at the table. Always a good sign.
Corporate Dinners
Indian food isn’t just for parties. It’s also a brilliant option for corporate dinners and office celebrations. A well-presented buffet or plated Indian menu feels generous, sociable and just different enough to make your event memorable without being risky.
Choosing the Right Venue in Leicester
One of the lovely things about Indian catering is how adaptable it is to different spaces. In Leicester, three venue types work particularly well.
Community Halls
These are a go-to for larger weddings, birthday parties and cultural celebrations. They offer plenty of space, flexible layouts and often have kitchen access for caterers to work their magic on-site.
Hotel Banquet Rooms
If you’re after a more polished, all-in-one experience, hotel banquet rooms are ideal. They’re popular for weddings and corporate dinners, and many Indian caterers are experienced in coordinating with hotel staff to keep everything running smoothly.
Restaurant Event Spaces
For smaller, more intimate gatherings, private dining areas within restaurants can be a great fit. These work especially well for birthday dinners and corporate events where atmosphere and service are just as important as the food.
Buffet or Plated? Picking Your Service Style
When it comes to Indian catering, the big decision is usually buffet versus plated.
Buffet Style
This is the classic choice for Indian catering and for good reason. It offers variety, flexibility and a relaxed, sociable feel. Guests can help themselves, try new dishes and go back for their favourites. It’s perfect for weddings and larger parties where you want everyone to eat at their own pace.
Plated Service
For more formal events, plated service adds structure and elegance. It’s popular for corporate dinners and banquet-style weddings. Plated menus tend to be more streamlined, focusing on a smaller selection of beautifully presented dishes served directly to each guest.
What You’ll Pay for Indian Catering in Leicester
Let’s talk numbers. Indian catering in Leicester typically starts from around £16 per head and can rise to £30+ depending on your menu, service style and guest count. Here’s what influences the price:
- Number of guests. Larger events often bring the per-head cost down slightly.
- Menu complexity. More dishes and premium ingredients mean higher costs.
- Service style. Plated service usually costs more than buffet.
- Dietary requirements. Custom menus for allergies or specialist diets can add a little extra.
- Venue logistics. Travel distance, setup time and kitchen access all play a role.
Our advice? Set a realistic budget early on and be upfront about it. A good caterer will help you shape a menu that delivers maximum flavour without blowing the bank.
How to Choose the Right Indian Caterer
Not all caterers are created equal, so here’s how to find one that’s a perfect match for your event.
Start with the Menu
Look for caterers who offer a balanced mix of classics and crowd-pleasers. Think rich curries, fragrant rice, fresh breads and a few lighter options for contrast. If you’re hosting a traditional South Asian wedding, check they’re experienced with the specific dishes and service styles you want.
Ask About Flexibility
Great caterers don’t just serve food. They collaborate with you. Whether you need vegan options, mild alternatives or a completely bespoke menu, flexibility is key.
Check Their Experience
Make sure they’ve handled events of your size and type before. Weddings, corporate dinners and large birthday parties all come with different challenges.
Think About Presentation
Food should look as good as it tastes. Ask how they present their buffet or plated dishes and whether they provide serving equipment and staff.

- Confirm your guest numbers early. Last-minute changes can affect pricing and logistics.
- Check venue facilities. Make sure your caterer has the access and equipment they need.
- Ask about setup and clear-down. Know who’s responsible for what.
- Be clear about dietary requirements. Get everything in writing.
- Build in a little buffer time. Food tastes better when nobody’s rushing.
