About Nalabaagam

Nalabaagam

Owner

Nalabaagam is a South Indian catering business serving Seattle, Redmond, Bellevue and the greater Eastside. We cook authentic, home-style Tamil food for weddings, engagements, poojas, housewarmings, birthdays and community events. What we offer: Traditional vegetarian spreads such as vadai, idiyappam, uthapam, sambar, rasam, puli kulambu, poriyal, variety rice and payasam Non-vegetarian favorites including chicken and fish 65, chicken curry, and chicken biryani Indo-Chinese items like gobi 65 and hakka noodles for mixed crowds Sweets including badam halwa and paruppu payasam We create a custom menu for every event, from small family gatherings to large wedding receptions.

Real home cooking, not restaurant food. Our dishes are made from family recipes, the way they’re cooked in South Indian homes. Menus built around your family. We plan every menu with you, whether you want a traditional Tamil wedding sappadu, a pure vegetarian pooja meal, or a reception with biryani, 65s and Indo-Chinese favorites. Flexible, honest pricing. We price by the tray or by the piece, so you only pay for what you need. You can mix and match dishes to fit your guest count and budget. Cooked fresh for every event. Personal attention. You work directly with the cook from the first call to delivery day, not a sales team.

    We booked Nalabaagam for our family get together and couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the initial inquiry through delivery day, their team was friendly. The food itself was exceptional: homestyle dishes that felt personal and thoughtful, beautifully packaged and ready to serve.

    This place serves truly authentic South Indian food. I especially loved all the 3 chutneys and sambhar. Unbeatable taste. I also requested the owner (Jeyanthi) and team to host a live dosa counter at my event, and their service was flawless. They arrived on time, quickly setup the station and didn’t compromise the quality even at such a big event. Highly recommend this place!
