About Anil Caterers - Lucknow's Trusted Catering Experts

Chefs preparing dishes in the Anil Caterers kitchen
Our story

Where culinary excellence meets elegant events

Anil Caterers has been cooking for Lucknow since 2000. The company was founded by Chef Anil Gupta, who spent his career in five-star kitchens before bringing that standard to catering — Mughal Sheraton, Trident Oberoi, Taj Palace Delhi, Holiday Inn and Taj Mahal Lucknow.

That background is the reason our kitchen runs the way it does. Hotel discipline on hygiene and timing, hotel-level attention to how a plate looks when it reaches a guest, applied to events of every size across the city of Avadh.

  • Vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus, refreshed constantly
  • Indian traditional, Asian, Middle Eastern, Italian, French and Continental
  • One coordinator from first enquiry to final clearing

Our values

Values that shape every dish we serve

Freshness first

Ingredients are bought for your event, not held over from another one.

Hygiene without exception

Five-star kitchen practice carried into every venue we work in.

Respect for the occasion

Your event is not a booking slot. We plan it like it matters, because it does.

Honest coordination

If something cannot be done well, we say so early rather than disappoint on the day.
