Since 2010

One kitchen in Badda. Then 800+ events.

We are not a hotel banquet arm and not a hall with a kitchen attached. We are a catering company — the food is the entire product, and everything else exists to get it to your table at the temperature it left the pass.

Our story

It started with a wedding we nearly ruined.

In 2010, Chef Mizanur Rahman cooked kacchi for fifty guests at a cousin's holud out of a single kitchen in Badda. The food was good. The logistics were a disaster — it arrived forty minutes late and half of it was lukewarm.

He spent the next two years fixing the part nobody photographs: insulated transport, prep schedules built backwards from service time, a thermometer on every container. The recipes never changed. Everything around them did.

Fifteen years on we run nine vehicles, a forty-person service team and a kitchen that is audited every quarter. We still cook the same kacchi.

“Anyone can cook well for eight people. Catering is the discipline of doing it for eight hundred without anyone noticing the difference.”

Chef Mizanur Rahman, Founder

What drives the kitchen

Mission, vision, and the thing we argue about most.

Mission

To make large-scale catering taste like it came out of a home kitchen — and to make the logistics invisible to the person hosting.

Vision

To be the caterer Dhaka recommends by name, not by price — the one planners call first and hosts book again without shopping around.

Food philosophy

Cook seasonally, season assertively, and never let a dish sit. If it needs a heat lamp to survive the journey, it does not belong on a buffet.

Quality commitment

Five things we will not compromise on.

  • Daily market runs. Buyers are at Karwan Bazar before sunrise. Nothing waits in a freezer for an event.
  • Three approved meat suppliers. Halal-certified, audited, and never substituted at short notice.
  • Temperature, measured. Food leaves at 68°C and is served above 60°C. Every container is probed, and the log is yours on request.
  • Quarterly HACCP audits. External, unannounced, and we publish the outcome to clients under contract.
  • Separate allergen prep. Nut-free, gluten-free and vegan plates are made on dedicated equipment, not wiped-down shared boards.

Fifteen years

How the kitchen grew.

  1. 2010

    One kitchen, one cook

    Fifty guests at a family holud. A rented van and a lot of optimism.

  2. 2014

    First cold-chain van

    The fix that made everything else possible. Late, lukewarm deliveries stopped.

  3. 2019

    Corporate contracts

    Daily office lunch launched. A different discipline entirely — consistency over spectacle.

  4. 2024

    Mobile kitchen

    Generator, water tank and a full outdoor rig. Venues without kitchens stopped being a no.

Who cooks your food

The people at the pass.

The chef who cooks your tasting is the chef who runs your event. We do not hand off between sales and kitchen.
