The first meal two families share.
A roka or engagement is where two families sit down together for the first time. We cook a menu that feels generous and familiar to both sides, served with warmth at home, in a banquet hall or at a farmhouse.
Engagement & Roka Catering in Greater Noida, Noida & Delhi NCR
Roka and engagement ceremonies are smaller than the wedding but carry just as much meaning. The guest list is mostly close family, the mood is relaxed but formal, and the food has to please grandparents and cousins alike.
We usually suggest a menu with a few well-made starters, a classic North Indian main course and a generous sweets table for the ring and shagun moments. Tell us about both families' tastes and we will balance the menu between them.
