Anyone who’s tried to book a table for eight people knows the pain. Half the group wants curry, someone’s vegetarian, someone else can’t decide, and the group chat has forty unread messages arguing about where to go.
We built our banquet menu to end all of that.
One Menu. Everyone Eats. Nobody Argues
At Waadiya, our banquet is simple: pick Indian or Sri Lankan, and we bring out a full spread for the table — entrée, mains, rice, bread, and dessert. No one has to choose between six different curries or figure out who’s splitting what.
It’s $64 per person, with a minimum of two people, and here’s the part everyone loves — the mains are bottomless. Once your table’s plates are empty, we bring out more. No re-ordering, no awkward “should we get one more dish to share?” moment.
What's Actually On the Table
If you go Indian, your table gets a mix of entrée (think Samosa, Tandoori Chicken, Seek Kebab), mains like Butter Chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh, plus rice, naan, and raita — finished off with Kulfi or Gulab Jamun for dessert.
If you go Sri Lankan, expect entrées like Fish Cutlet and Hot Butter Calamari, mains built around chicken, lamb, beef, black pork, or Jaffna fish curry, served with rice and egg roti, and Watalappam or Kulfi to finish.
One heads-up: the whole table orders the same style — Indian or Sri Lankan — so it’s worth a quick chat with your group before you book.
Who Books This (Hint: Probably You)
- Birthdays — no one wants to cook or clean up on their birthday
- Work dinners — good food makes people forget it’s technically still a work event
- Family get-togethers — Nanna’s vegetarian, your cousin only eats spicy food, we’ve got both covered
- Just because — you don’t need an occasion to eat well
Our dining room has a warm, relaxed feel — soft lighting, a proper wine and cocktail list, and enough space that your group doesn’t feel like it’s spilling into the table next to you.
