At a Glance
Basement, 261 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 (02) 8021 7696 bookings@thegrandpalace.com.auChoosing the menu is one of the biggest decisions in planning an Indian wedding — it's the part guests remember longest. The Grand Palace builds wedding menus around the richness and variety Indian celebrations are known for, from tandoor classics to slow-cooked curries, while making sure every dietary requirement at the table is genuinely covered, not just tolerated.
Quick Answer
The Grand Palace builds every Indian wedding menu around the couple — guest count, budget, style and must-have dishes — rather than picking from a fixed list. Vegetarian, vegan and Jain (no onion, garlic or root vegetables) requirements are accommodated with advance notice, and the whole menu is halal certified.
Why Indian Food Suits a Wedding Feast
Indian weddings have always been built around spectacular, generous food — it's part of the tradition, not an afterthought. That same range of curries, tandoor-grilled meats, biryanis and desserts translates naturally to Sydney celebrations, and it happens to solve one of the hardest parts of wedding catering: keeping a mixed guest list happy.
Wide variety
curries, tandoor dishes, biryanis, fresh breads and desserts in one feast
Naturally inclusive
the cuisine already accommodates vegetarian, vegan and Jain eaters without feeling like an afterthought
Traditional preparation
real spice blends and slow-cooked techniques, not shortcuts
Menus flex to your budget, guest count and the formality of the occasion
Dietary Accommodations for Wedding Guests
A wedding guest list is rarely uniform, and dietary diversity is the rule rather than the exception. Our kitchen is set up to handle it without splitting your menu into an afterthought "special" plate.
Vegetarian
a full range of meat-free dishes prepared with the same care as the non-vegetarian menu
Jain
no onion, garlic or root vegetables, prepared separately; flag it when you book
Allergen awareness
tell our team about any serious allergies at booking, not on the day
Spice level
every dish can be adjusted milder or bolder for different guests
Pre-Wedding Dinners & Engagement Celebrations
The Grand Palace also suits the smaller gatherings that lead up to the wedding day — engagement dinners, the night-before family dinner, and post-wedding lunches. The same custom-menu approach applies here too: a curated, no-fuss experience sized to a smaller group.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does The Grand Palace build a wedding menu?
Every wedding menu is custom — built around your guest count, budget and any dishes that matter to you, with a tasting to confirm before the day. Vegetarian, vegan, Jain and halal requirements are built in from the start.
Can you cater for Jain guests at a wedding?
Yes. We prepare Jain meals with no onion, garlic or root vegetables — just flag it when booking so the kitchen can prepare it separately.
Is the wedding menu halal certified?
Yes, fully halal certified, so it suits multicultural guest lists without a separate menu.
How far ahead should I book wedding catering?
We recommend 2–4 weeks' notice. For larger weddings or a heavily customised menu, book earlier so we can plan properly.
