Catering that starts with the food and covers the whole event
Good catering is more than cooking a lot of food. It is knowing how much to make, getting it to you hot and on time, and making the day easier for the host. That is how we think about every order at Amina's Biriyani, from a single tray for a family lunch to a full menu for a wedding.
We begin with a conversation. You tell us the occasion, the date, the venue and the number of guests. We suggest a menu, plan the quantities, cook everything fresh for your date and deliver on time. If you would like help with serving, ask us and we will plan it with you.
Our biriyani comes from a Mattancherry family kitchen. It is cooked by Arifa, the daughter of the late Kayikka and Amina, using the slow dum method.

Occasions we cater in Kochi and Ernakulam
We have served weddings, birthdays, religious functions in churches and mosques, and office parties. Each one asks for something different, so we plan each one differently.
Multiple cuisines, one kitchen
Biriyani is what we are known for, and for most events it stays at the centre of the menu. But a celebration often needs more than one dish, and guests have different tastes. We can cater a mixed menu across cuisines:
- Kerala and Malabar classics for a familiar, homely spread
- Mappila specialities that suit weddings and festive tables
- North Indian dishes for guests who prefer them
- Arabian rice and grills for larger celebrations
- Indo Chinese favourites that please every age group
- Desserts and drinks to complete the meal
Tell us your guest list and your preferences. We will suggest a balanced menu and a quantity plan, so you do not have to guess.
