Good to know

How pricing works

Ingredients — extra

Package prices cover the chef's planning, cooking and service. Ingredients are billed separately at actual cost with receipts — or you may purchase them yourself from a shopping list we share.

Travel — within Nagercoil included

Travel within Nagercoil town limits is included. Locations elsewhere in Kanyakumari District and beyond are charged per km, quoted upfront before you confirm.

Guest count & menu

Prices are tentative starting points. The final quote depends on guest count, number of dishes, choice of meat or seafood, and service style.

Helpers, crockery & equipment

Additional service staff, serving crockery, chafing dishes or live-counter equipment can be arranged on request at an extra charge.

Confirming your date

A booking is confirmed only after Chef Kavin approves the date and final price. A small advance secures your date; the balance is paid on the day.

All prices in Indian Rupees (INR). Packages: Basic Home Cooking · Family Dining Package · Special Occasion Package · Premium Private Dining · Customised Menu.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do you bring your own ingredients?+

We can source everything for you (billed at actual cost with receipts) or share a detailed shopping list if you'd rather buy them yourself.

How far in advance should I book?+

For weekends and festival dates, 1–2 weeks ahead is ideal. For weekdays, 3–4 days is often enough. Last-minute requests are welcome — just WhatsApp us.

Can you cook for allergies or special diets?+

Absolutely. Vegetarian, vegan, Jain, low-oil, diabetic-friendly, nut-free and gluten-aware menus are all possible. Please mention it in your enquiry.

Do you need my kitchen?+

Yes, a basic home kitchen with a stove and some counter space is all that's needed. For larger events we can bring additional burners and equipment.

Which areas do you serve?+

Nagercoil and all of Kanyakumari District. Thiruvananthapuram and other nearby cities are possible on request with travel charges.

How is the booking confirmed?+

After you enquire, Chef Kavin reviews your date and requirements and sends a menu and quote. Once you approve it and pay the advance, you'll receive a booking confirmation on WhatsApp.
