mysri prepares the food that matters most — the Muhurtha Sapadu of an Iyer wedding, the quiet Seemantham of a young couple, the Graha Pravesham of a new home. 100% pure vegetarian. No onion. No garlic. The way it was always meant to be.
"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 and we will advise from there.
For weddings, we recommend reaching out at least 3 to 4 months in advance — auspicious Muhurtham dates fill up quickly. For smaller functions, 4 to 6 weeks is generally sufficient.
Always. We never pre-cook and transport. Our team arrives at the venue with raw ingredients and prepares everything in-house. The Arachivitta Sambar is ground fresh; the payasam is made to order.
Yes, and we handle this carefully. We understand the subtle distinctions in menu composition, serving sequence, and preparation between the two traditions. We work with the family beforehand to ensure both sides are served as they expect.
A full package covers all meals across wedding days — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — served on vazha ilai, including the Muhurtha Sapadu and full Virunthu spread. We can also arrange Mangala Vadhyam, Kolam, Bakshanam, Thamboola bags, Mandapam decor, and the signature Beeda Stall.
We serve Chennai and surrounding areas including Tambaram, Guduvanchery, Pallikaranai, OMR, ECR, and Porur. For locations beyond, please contact us.
Reach out today. We will listen, understand your tradition, and prepare a menu and plan worthy of your family's occasion.
