From the Muhurtha Sapadu of a Kalyaanam to the quiet first meal of a Graha Pravesham — mysri prepares every dish the orthodox way. No onion. No garlic. 100% pure vegetarian. The way it has always been done.
"A meal prepared without onion or garlic is not a restriction — it is a devotion."
mysri was born from a simple conviction: that the food served at a Brahmin function must be prepared the way it has always been done — not adapted, not simplified, not approximated. Every dish on a mysri vazha ilai follows the order, the method, and the respect that the occasion demands.
We serve Iyer and Iyengar families for their most sacred occasions — Kalyaanam, Upanayanam, Sashtiapthapoorthi, Graha Pravesham — approaching every engagement with the same care that your household would expect from family.
We are a single, end-to-end team — handling food, Mangala Vadhyam, decor, Bakshanam, and every ritual requirement — so that your family carries no burden beyond the joy of the occasion.
A wedding or family function should not require your household to coordinate between ten different vendors. mysri handles every element — from the first nadaswaram note to the last beeda — as a single, accountable team.
From Mylapore to Tambaram, from Besant Nagar to Anna Nagar — mysri serves Iyer and Iyengar families across Chennai and its surrounding areas.
For Brahmin families, catering is not a transaction — it is a matter of trust.
Most vegetarian caterers serve food broadly suitable for all communities. mysri is exclusively trained in orthodox Tamil Brahmin samayal — the preparation methods, the sequence of a proper vazha ilai, and the distinction between Iyer and Iyengar menus. No onion, no garlic, no compromise.
Yes. We cater to functions of all sizes — from an intimate Graha Pravesham or a small Naamakaranam to a multi-day Kalyaanam. Please contact us to discuss your occasion.
For weddings, we recommend reaching out at least 3 to 4 months in advance. For smaller functions, 4 to 6 weeks is generally sufficient.
Always. We never pre-cook and transport. The Arachivitta Sambar is ground fresh; the payasam is made to order.
Yes. We understand the subtle distinctions in menu composition, serving sequence, and preparation between the two traditions.

We serve Chennai and surrounding areas including Tambaram, Guduvanchery, Pallikaranai, OMR, ECR, and Porur.
Reach out today. We will listen, understand your tradition, and prepare a menu and plan worthy of your family's occasion.
