Rivaaz Catering delivers authentic Indian catering across Melbourne. From intimate family functions to grand wedding celebrations, we make every event unforgettable.
Ever since I can remember, my favourite thing has always been feeding people. There is something deeply satisfying about watching someone take that first bite and smile. That feeling never gets old.
Fifteen years ago, I turned that passion into Rivaaz. What started as a love for cooking grew into a team that has catered hundreds of events across Melbourne. But the heart behind it has never changed.
My biggest joy on any event day is still the live charcoal station. The aroma, the smoke, the theatre of it — there is nothing quite like it. It brings people together before they even sit down to eat.
When you book Rivaaz, you are not just hiring a catering company. You are inviting a team that genuinely loves what they do — and it shows in every dish we serve.

We hired Rivaaz for our daughter's engagement party and honestly could not have asked for more. The live charcoal station had every guest gathered around it within minutes. The food was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Saurabh and the team made the whole evening completely stress-free. Our guests are still talking about it
