December fills up fast in Mississauga. Between office year-end lunches, team dinners and family get-togethers, a lot of people end up asking the same thing: what can we serve that everyone will actually enjoy? At Pepperfry we handle office catering in Mississauga and holiday parties with halal South Indian and Hyderabadi food for groups of 15 to 500+ guests, and this guide covers what to order, how much, and when to book.
Why Indian food works for an office party
It is built for sharing. A tray of biryani, a pot of curry and a stack of parottas in the middle of the table, and people serve themselves. Meat eaters and vegetarians both have plenty to choose from, and since everything we cook is 100% halal, most teams can eat from the same spread without separate orders.
What to order for office catering in Mississauga
Mains
- Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani: the dish most groups start with. Our Hyderabadi biryani guide lists all 11 we make.
- Mutton or ghee roast mutton biryani: for a richer, more festive table.
- Chicken, mutton or mix mandi: slow-cooked meat over mildly spiced rice. A safe pick if some guests prefer less heat.
Curries and breads
- Butter chicken, Hyderabadi chicken curry, gongura chicken or gongura mutton
- Paneer butter masala and kaju paneer masala
- Malabar parotta, naan and rumali roti
Starters
- Chicken 65, Guntur chicken and chilli chicken
- Gobi Manchurian, crispy corn and chilli paneer
For vegetarian groups
Paneer, special veg, gutti vankaya and gongura paneer biryani, plus vegetarian curries and starters. There is more in our vegetarian catering guide.
What guests say about our food for groups

How much food do you need?
It depends on the crowd and the time of day, but here is a simple starting point: a medium biryani on our menu serves 3 people. For a bigger event, tell us your guest count and how many are vegetarian, and we will help you balance mains, curries and starters so nothing runs short.
Small team lunch or a big party?
For four or five people, a couple of medium biryanis or our combos for two (a biryani, a curry, three parottas and a soft drink) usually does the job. For anything larger, we cater from 15 up to 500+ guests: office parties, holiday dinners, birthdays and family celebrations.
When to book holiday catering
As early as you can. December is a busy month for parties across the city, so send us your date, guest count and any dietary needs, and we will plan the menu with you in good time.
