Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book event catering in Noida?
For events under 100 people, 2–3 weeks is usually enough. For 100+ attendee events with live counters or multiple cuisines, book 4–6 weeks ahead to secure your preferred date and menu.
Can the headcount be adjusted closer to the event date?
Most caterers, including The Tadka Box, allow a 10% headcount adjustment up to a week before the event without penalty.
Are live counters more expensive than standard buffets?
Live counters typically add ₹50–₹150 per person depending on the cuisine, but they significantly improve the guest experience and are worth it for flagship events.
Does the catering team handle setup and cleanup?
Yes, our Premium Banquet and Custom Enterprise packages include full setup, service staff, and post-event cleanup as standard.
