From a good idea to a gathering

A simple way to book.

    Share the date, guest count, location, and the kind of service you want.

  2. Get your full quote.

    We confirm availability, menu, delivery or travel, and everything included.

  3. Confirm your gathering.

    Your booking is confirmed after you accept the quote and pay the agreed deposit. We send the payment request after confirming the details.

Please request private gatherings at least 7 days ahead when possible. Public events and larger setups need additional planning. Final guest and pastry counts are due 48 hours before the event. Payment, changes, cancellations, and equipment return arrangements are stated in your written quote.

Before we gather.

Where do you cater?

Pickup is at Mehfil Co., 82 S Lake Ave, Suite 101, Pasadena, CA 91101. For delivery or a hosted station, send your event address so we can confirm the service area and travel charge.

What is included in the chai?

Our whole-milk Karak chai is sweetened black tea with cardamom, cloves, whole milk, and condensed milk; this option contains milk. The 96oz dairy-free oat option uses oat milk and a dairy-free replacement for condensed milk, made with dairy-free ingredients. For Pasadena pickup, choose whole milk at $75 or dairy-free oat at $80 (+$5). Please tell us about dietary requests and allergies before ordering or booking. Milk alternatives for standard station packages are quoted separately.

Can you cater fewer than 30 people or more than 50?

For smaller gatherings, request our 96-ounce chai containers. The standard station packages begin at 30 guests. Larger groups, additional rounds of chai, and longer service need a confirmed production and equipment plan.

What does the venue need to provide?

A stable service table and suitable access for setup. We confirm any power, handwashing, water, and venue requirements before the quote is finalized. Live cooking is available only by prior arrangement and venue approval.

Can we book catering regularly?

Yes. Include your preferred schedule for office meetings, studio events, or recurring gatherings. We can quote a repeat service plan once the dates, quantity, and location are agreed.

Does submitting the form reserve my date?

Submitting the form sends a catering request. Your date is reserved only after we confirm availability, agree on your quote, and receive the required payment.
