Mandira's Kitchen Information

Everyone else brought India to the city. We brought it to the land. Mandira's Kitchen started on £750 and two thali platters in Mandira's living room. It now lives in a 400-year-old converted cowshed on the Albury Estate by Silent Pool in the Surrey Hills, and does rather more than anyone planned. What we do: • Catering across Surrey, London and the South East, from 10 to 200 guests, at your venue or ours • Corporate lunches, team away days, client entertaining and Christmas parties • Weddings, private parties and celebrations, with a full bar service if you want one • Venue hire at Mandira's Kitchen, Silent Pool: 42 inside, 170 outside • Spice masterclasses and cookery sessions for teams of 8 to 30 • Supper clubs and ticketed events, including Beer, Curry & Quiz on the last Friday of every month • Chai in the Barn, our café, open every day except Christmas Day • Frozen meals delivered UK-wide, plus chutneys, spice kits and hampers We don't send everyone the same menu folder. Our menus have names and stories. A Tale of Three Cities takes guests through Calcutta, Bombay and Delhi in one sitting. The Great Indian Railway Journey is built around the food served on India's long-distance trains. We've fed Lego, Merlin and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and work regularly with the University of Surrey, Surrey Research Park and Guildford Jazz. Along the way: 15 Great Taste Awards, Surrey Businessperson of the Year, Great British Entrepreneur Awards South East winner, Small Business 100, the Dynamic Awards 2026 Customer Service Award and Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice 2026. We've been on Channel 4, BBC and ITV, and in The Times and The Telegraph. "It's like having your very own Indian Auntie fill your freezer with exquisite foods."
