Our story

From our family's kitchens to your celebration

Royal Caterers is the catering division of a family-owned group of Nashville restaurants: Nawabi Hyderabad House, Woodlands Indian Vegetarian Cuisine, Amaravati and Saffron The Indian Kitchen. The division grew from our dining rooms, as guests asked the same kitchens to cook for their weddings, religious ceremonies and corporate events.

If we would not serve it at our own family table, it does not go on your buffet.

The family kitchen rule

Every order is prepared in our own restaurant kitchens by the chefs who cook for our dining rooms each day. That continuity is the foundation of our consistency: the recipes have been refined over years of daily service, and the same standards of sourcing, preparation and food safety apply whether we are serving twenty or two thousand. Woodlands, our kosher-certified vegetarian kitchen, was voted Best Indian Restaurant in the Nashville Scene readers' poll in both 2025 and 2026.

Under the direction of Shiv Biradar, a single team is responsible for your event from first consultation to final service: menu design, tasting, production, logistics, installation and staffing. This structure, rather than a chain of subcontractors, is why our clients return to us for occasions of every scale.

Our restaurants

Every dish is prepared in a kitchen we own and operate. One menu can draw on Hyderabadi biryani, South Indian dosa and New York style pizza without compromise in any of them.
