Where Centuries of
Daawat Heritage Meet
Intimate Family Tables.
Welcome to Umbers Food Catering Service. We reject mass-production catering. Every slow-cooked Biryani, royal Nargisi Kofta, and simmering Karahi is handcrafted from scratch by Chef Umber using hand-ground spices and 100% Zabiha Halal meats.
Family Dastarkhwan Spread
Chicken Dum Biryani, hand-rolled Shami Kebabs, homestyle chicken karahi, fresh tawa naan, and badami kheer.
Why We Cap Gatherings at 50 Guests & Require 7 Days Notice
Industrial banquet halls cook for 500 guests with steam kettles and premade pastes. At Umbers Food Catering Service, every dish is an artisanal creation.
1. The 50-Guest Ceiling
When you exceed 50 people, food preparation shifts from loving home cooking to commercial manufacturing. By strictly capping orders at 50 guests, Chef Umber personally seasons, simmers, and garnishes every single pot.
2. Mandatory 7-Day Notice
Authentic Mughlai and Lahori cuisine cannot be rushed in an afternoon. Whole spices must be dry-roasted and stone-ground. Halal meats require 24 to 48 hours of slow yogurt and spice marination for unparalleled tenderness.
3. Strictly 100% Zabiha Halal
Every chicken cutlet, piece of prime beef, and tender mutton shank is strictly hand-slaughtered Zabiha Halal from trusted local abattoirs. We never compromise on faith, hygiene, or spiritual purity.
