The short answer
Mehfill plans Indian catering for cultural celebrations, religious gatherings, community festivals, association events, and family observances. Hosts should share every menu rule, ingredient restriction, preparation expectation, serving convention, and venue requirement for review.
Current GTA catering terms
Start with the facts that apply to every event.
Your quote brings the menu, event address, serving window and service scope into one plan. These current operating terms help you prepare the details before enquiring.
15 to 1,000 guests
Catering starts at 15 guests, with private, corporate, wedding, school, and community events planned up to 1,000 guests.
Urgent and same-day
Urgent and same-day requests are reviewed with at least four hours’ notice, subject to availability. Request seasonal dates early and confirm the final menu and headcount with the team.
Delivery, setup, and service
Standard GTA delivery is C$40 with drop-off setup. Live/BBQ service instead uses a C$100 transportation, setup, teardown, and equipment fee. Staffing is C$18 per staff member per hour before HST with a 3-hour minimum for each staff member.

Celebrations that share the same thoughtful planning.
These related occasions can begin with the same service and menu questions. The final food, timing, and presentation are tailored to the event itself.
Plan the service, not just the dishes
Four decisions that shape the quote.
Share your preferred date, approximate headcount and serving window. Mehfill confirms menu availability, delivery, staffing and commercial terms before booking.
Tradition and menu rules
State required and excluded ingredients, preparation expectations, meal timing, and serving customs without relying on broad labels.
Community scale
Review arrival waves, service capacity, queues, volunteers, seating, and replenishment with the venue plan.
Venue requirements
Confirm access, utilities, on-site cooking rules, waste, equipment, permitted service hours, and cleanup.
Verified suitability
Dietary, religious, allergy, vegan, Jain, gluten-aware, and halal statements require exact ingredient and process approval.
Menu packages and pricing
Two useful package starting points.
Buffet frameworks still lead to a tailored proposal. Public tray pricing and live package rates are shown on their dedicated pages, while your written proposal brings the selected menu, delivery, setup, staffing, equipment, tax, and other event requirements into one clear scope.
