RASA caters birthdays at three scales: kids' parties with counters children actually eat from (dosa, pasta, chaat, a dessert bar), adult birthdays with a two-counter dinner, and the 60th (shashtipoorthi) and 75th celebrations that are, in a Bangalore family, a small wedding with a leaf lunch. Birthday catering runs about ₹350–₹900 a plate in 2026.
Kids' parties want food that comes fast and does not need a plate: a dosa counter, pasta, a chaat counter without the chilli, sliders, and a dessert bar. Adult birthdays in the city's apartment communities are usually a two-counter dinner — wok and tandoor, or taco and grill — for 40 to 100. The 60th and 75th are family rituals with a satvik leaf lunch from the family's own seat and a reception at night, and are planned like a small wedding.

Birthday party catering in Bangalore — questions
What does birthday party catering cost per plate in Bangalore?
About ₹350–₹900 a plate in 2026; a kids' party with two counters and a dessert bar for 40 children and 40 adults typically lands between ₹35,000 and ₹60,000 before GST.
Do you cater a shashtipoorthi (60th) with a traditional lunch?
Yes — the leaf lunch from the family's seat (Karnataka, Tamil, Andhra, Kerala) with the sweets the ritual calls for, and a reception menu at night if there is one.
Can you cater a birthday in an apartment clubhouse?
Yes — most clubhouses in Bangalore allow outside caterers with a cleaning deposit; we check the community's rule first.
Tell the kitchen about the birthdays
Date, head count, the cuisines you have in mind. Enough for the first reply to carry a menu and a number rather than a brochure.
What happens after you send the ticket
- A written reply, usually the same day. A first menu built for your occasion, the per-plate figure it comes to, and the two or three questions we need settled before the number is firm.
- A tasting. For weddings and events of size we cook the shortlist for you before you sign. Each cuisine on the menu is cooked by the chef who will cook it on the day.
- The plan for the day. Counters, service staff, timings against your muhurtham or your agenda, and the venue's rules on outside catering, checked with the venue by us.
