Mehendi, sangeet and haldi menus at RASA are snack-led: a chaat counter, a wok counter, a taco or slider bar, kathi rolls, a mocktail bar and a live dessert, served over three to four hours rather than as one sit-down meal. In Bangalore these functions run about ₹450–₹900 a plate in 2026.
The pre-wedding functions have a different rhythm from the wedding: guests arrive over hours, dance, leave, come back, and eat standing. A buffet is the wrong format. The right one is counters and passed plates — chaat from the chaat seat, noodles from the wok seat, tacos from the Mexican seat, kathi rolls, kebabs, and jalebi from the halwai at the end — with a mocktail bar running the whole time.
Haldi is the morning function, and its menu is a Bangalore breakfast from the tiffin seat plus a chaat and a juice counter; mehendi is the afternoon, with high tea and chaat; sangeet is the night, with the full counter set.

Tell the kitchen about the mehendi & sangeet
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.
