Who Caters Corporate and Office Parties Near MG Road
For a corporate or office party in Bangalore, the caterer to know near MG Road is the rooftop kitchen at Hotel Ivory Tower, operating asEbony and The 13th Floor. Most people know Ebony as a restaurant on the 13th floor of Barton Centre since 1993. What matters for an office event is that the same kitchen caters off-site.
Off-site catering means the food comes to you. Rather than moving an entire office across the city, the kitchen prepares and brings the spread to your office or event space. For a corporate event that is usually the simpler arrangement, because it keeps the team in a familiar space and removes the logistics of getting forty people to one table at the same time.
The working range is about 40 to 250 guests, covering corporate functions and conferences at one end and full company celebrations at the other. Below 40, the answer is usually to hold the event at the hotel instead.
What You Can Actually Serve
The value of a restaurant kitchen doing your catering is that you get restaurant food at your own event rather than the flat buffet that corporate catering defaults to. The catering draws on the full range of the rooftop kitchens, which share a single menu across three outlets.
Pan Indian and Parsi, from theEbony kitchen. North Indian and Mughlai cooking, kebabs, biryanis, dals, and breads, plus regional specialities such as the Arcot Mutton dishes, the Rajasthani Laal Maas, and the Parsi Dhansak that has been on the menu since 1993.
Thai and South East Asian, from theASEAN On The Edge kitchen. Curries, noodles, salads, and the signature Burmese Khaoswe, drawing on Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
Vegetarian, across both kitchens. Tandoor starters and paneer dishes, vegetable curries and biryanis, and South East Asian tofu and vegetable plates.
A single event can combine all three, which requires two distinct kitchens rather than one kitchen attempting a second cuisine.
The Menu Is Built, Not Chosen
There is no single fixed package, which is the right answer for a corporate event because no two office parties are the same shape. The team builds a set menu with you, choosing dishes around four inputs: the occasion, the number of guests, the balance of vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and any dietary requirements across the team.
Signature dishes can anchor it. Ebony's Ultimate Butter Chicken, made with a makhni gravy of imported sun-blushed Italian tomatoes, the layered Arcot Mutton Biryani, and the Burmese Khaoswe are the ones that usually do the work, with a full spread of starters, mains, breads, and desserts around them.
Range matters more than any single dish. The hardest part of feeding a corporate crowd is the spread of preferences in the room: vegetarians and non-vegetarians, people who want familiar food and people who want something interesting. A caterer working from two kitchens covers the whole office rather than a slice of it.
Why an Experienced Central Kitchen Matters
Two things separate a dependable corporate caterer from a risky one: track record and location.
On track record, the food is prepared by the team that has run Ebony since 1993, so the catering menu carries the same depth as the restaurant. Ebony was named Best North Indian Restaurant in Bangalore at the 2020 Times Food & Nightlife Awards. A corporate event is not the place to discover a kitchen's off day, and three decades at one address is a more useful signal than a portfolio.
On location, the kitchen works from 84 MG Road, in the middle of the city's oldest commercial core, which keeps it close to the offices it caters and easy for an organiser to reach on the Purple Line (Purple Line, Namma Metro, Wikipedia).
What to Look For in a Corporate Caterer
What to look for | Why it matters for an office party |
Real cuisine range | A corporate crowd has mixed tastes and dietary needs. Two working kitchens beat one kitchen with a long menu. |
A menu built to the event | A fixed package forces your party into someone else's format. A set menu planned around headcount and format does not. |
Scale that matches your headcount | Ask the working range up front. Off-site catering here runs about 40 to 250 guests, and smaller events are better held on-site. |
A consistent, experienced kitchen | A corporate event is not the place for an off day. Ebony's kitchen has run since 1993. |
A central base | A caterer near the city's office core reaches corporate venues without a long haul. |
Holding It at the Hotel Instead
If the event is smaller than 40 guests, the three rooftop outlets take bookings directly. Ebony seats group tables for up to about 30, which suits a team dinner. ASEAN On The Edge seats 30 to 40 and has no separate private section, so a private event takes the whole restaurant.The 13th Floor is the venue for parties and private events, with room for up to about 70, and entry is for guests aged 21 and over.
Because all three share one floor and one kitchen, a single event can move between dinner and drinks without changing venue. There is more on the options inWhere to Host a Private Dinner for 30 to 40 People on MG Road andWhere to Host a Corporate or Team Dinner in Bangalore.
How to Arrange Corporate Catering
Give the kitchen enough to plan around. The details worth sharing up front are the date, the rough headcount, the format you want, whether that is a seated meal, a buffet, or a standing reception, and any dietary requirements across the team.
Get in touch well ahead of the date, since a tailored spread for a large group needs lead time to plan and prepare. Hotel Ivory Tower is on the 12th and 13th floors of Barton Centre, 84 MG Road, Bengaluru 560001. For catering and event enquiries, call +91 80 4178 3333 or email ivorytower@aswati.com.
