When you're feeding a crowd, the menu can make or break the event. If you're searching for Indian catering in Edmonton, New Asian Village has been doing exactly this for roughly four decades — bringing North Indian, South Indian, Tandoori, and Indo-Chinese dishes to weddings, parties, and boardrooms across the Edmonton area.

Events We Cater Across Edmonton & Sherwood Park

Our catering kitchens handle everything from intimate family gatherings to full-scale celebrations. The events we're asked to cater most often include:

  • Weddings and receptions — a generous Indian spread is a natural centrepiece for a wedding, whether the celebration is traditional or fusion.
  • Birthday and anniversary parties — milestone dinners where you'd rather host than cook.
  • Corporate lunches and meetings — office-friendly trays that elevate the standard sandwich platter into something the team actually looks forward to.
  • Holiday parties — festive, warming food that suits Edmonton winters perfectly.
  • Community and cultural events — graduations, fundraisers, religious celebrations, and family reunions.

With locations in West Edmonton and Sherwood Park, we can serve events on both sides of the city — from the west-end neighbourhoods of Callingwood and The Hamptons out to Strathcona County.

Why Indian Food Works So Well for Big Groups

There's a reason Indian food catering has become a go-to for event planners. First, the range: a single spread can move from mellow, creamy kormas to smoky tandoori to bold Indo-Chinese, so every palate at the party finds something to love. Guests who've never tried Indian food gravitate to butter chicken and naan; adventurous eaters dig into the rest.

Second, Indian catering handles dietary needs gracefully. A traditional spread naturally includes a strong vegetarian line — dishes like dal makhani, palak paneer, and vegetable samosas were never "substitutes," they're stars in their own right. That means vegetarian guests eat as well as everyone else, and many curries can be adapted for vegan diners on request.

Third, spice-level flexibility. Our curries are prepared mild, medium, or hot, so you can keep the shared trays crowd-friendly while still offering bolder options. Curious what a full menu looks like? Browse our à la carte menu for a sense of the breadth we can bring to your event.

How Catering Works at New Asian Village

Both of our locations cater, and getting started is simple. Visit our catering page, then send an enquiry to the location closest to your event:

Tell us the occasion, your approximate headcount, and any dishes you already know you want, and our team will work with you to shape a menu that fits your event and budget. Since each location is family-run — three sisters each operate a New Asian Village restaurant — you're dealing directly with people who treat your event like their own.

Not sure what to serve? That's normal, and it's exactly what the enquiry conversation is for. We'll walk you through appetizers, mains, breads, rice, and desserts, suggest how much of each a group your size typically eats, and flag which dishes travel and hold best on a buffet line. You bring the occasion; we'll bring a menu that fits it.

Planning Tips: Headcount, Dietary Needs & Crowd Favourites

A little planning goes a long way toward a stress-free event. Here's what we recommend thinking through before you enquire:

  • Nail down your headcount range. An estimate is fine to start — "somewhere between 40 and 60" is enough for us to begin shaping quantities and a menu.
  • Collect dietary needs early. Ask your guests about vegetarian, vegan, and allergy requirements when they RSVP. Indian menus adapt well, but it's easiest when we know up front.
  • Anchor the menu with proven crowd-pleasers. Butter chicken is the safest bet in the building, and biryani is a one-pan showstopper that feeds a crowd beautifully. Round the spread out with a korma, a tandoori item, a hearty vegetarian curry, rice, and plenty of garlic naan.
  • Balance veg and non-veg trays. A roughly even split rarely goes wrong — the vegetarian dishes get eaten by everyone, not just the vegetarians.
  • Keep shared trays at mild or medium. Guests who love heat can always ask for more; guests who don't can't take it away.

Book Early — Especially for Weddings & Large Events

The single best piece of advice we can give: reach out early. Large events — weddings especially — involve menu planning, quantity calculations, and kitchen scheduling, and popular dates fill up. The sooner you contact us, the more flexibility we have to build exactly the menu you're picturing and confirm your date.

For smaller gatherings, we can often move quickly, but even then an early enquiry means less stress for you in the final week. And if your event is more of a casual office lunch, remember you can always place a large pickup or delivery order through our West Edmonton online ordering or Sherwood Park online ordering pages.

After 40 years of feeding Edmonton, we know what makes an event menu work. Send us an enquiry today, and let's make your next celebration the one people talk about — for the food, in the best way.
