An ancient saying goes:

“You can take an Indian away from India, but you can never take India away from an Indian.” A phrase that summarizes how much the population of the Asian subcontinent is linked to its rites and traditions, even if it is thousands of kilometers from home.

Entrepreneur Jyoti ‘Giotti’ Singh, the chef most requested by those who want to introduce our country to the highest range of business travellers, knows this well.

Already the owner of the longest-running Indian restaurant in Florence, Haveli, and creator of a “dream factory for hundreds of Indian citizens who want to get married in our country, for 20 years Jyoti and his wife Rubel have been combining the wedding sector with that of events corporate. Together with high-end catering, which led him to sign some of the most sumptuous Indian weddings celebrated in Italy, fulfilling the wishes of politicians, sportsmen, business captains, finance magnates and Bollywood stars, Singh is today the most sought after among chefs also for hosting corporate team building events and for all the occasions in which an Indian company offers its executives a taste of Italy, in a context not linked to business.

Chef, just wanted to drop you a little note to say thank you very much for all your effort! The feedback from everyone was that the food was perfect, better in respects than it would be in India, so again thank you for making it such an amazing experience for all guests.

Jyoti Singh, besides being an established chef and sommelier, is a master at creating an unforgettable culinary experience. With extensive knowledge of the different regional cuisines of India, he can satisfy every request with expertise. “The cuisines of Punjab and Kerala, for example, differ as much as those of Sicily and Emilia,” says Jyoti. “But thanks to our roots in Chandigarh and the travels we have undertaken, we can present and propose dishes from different regional traditions, ensuring an unparalleled culinary offering. In the context of an Indian wedding, the food must always be perfect, and that’s what we aim for.”

In addition to catering, Haveli is an authentic Indian culinary home. Under the guidance of Jyoti and Rubel, the restaurant welcomes its guests with an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, enriched with ethnic suggestions and timeless elegance. The term ‘Haveli,’ which means high-ranking residence, reflects Jyoti and Rubel’s approach to their guests: treated like real Maharajas, or kings, with impeccable service and unmatched quality.

With a culinary offering that ranges from Indian tradition, including that of Punjab, to new and fascinating gastronomic discoveries, Haveli offers a selection of dishes that bring diners closer to the original dishes of the entire Indian subcontinent. From the famous Veg Samosa, pyramids filled with spiced potatoes, to the delicious Paneer Pakora, chickpea flour rolls filled with cheese, and the legendary Tandoori chicken, marinated in yogurt and spices and cooked in the namesake oven, each dish is an expression of authentic flavors and enveloping aromas.

DELICIOUS FOOD FOR EVERY TASTE

When it comes time to choose the catering service for your private party, you first need to think about who your guests will be. The food you offer must be able to satisfy many different tastes, any intolerances, or special diets. Indian catering for private parties is perfect because it allows you to set up a buffet with meat, fish, vegetarian, and vegan dishes. Additionally, many recipes are made without dairy and gluten to accommodate those with allergies and intolerances. Would you like to get a better idea of the recipes we could propose for your party?
