Packed and boxed meal catering in Ahmedabad
Individually packed meal and snack boxes for offices, trainings, exhibitions, school trips and events in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, labelled by diet and delivered on time.
What is in a packed meal box?
A packed meal box holds a complete meal for one person: for example a main dish, a bread or rice, a side, salad and a sweet, with cutlery and a napkin. Snack boxes hold two to four items for tea breaks. The meal boxes page lists sample tiers across Indian, Asian and continental menus.
Why choose boxed meals over a buffet?
Boxed meals need no counters, staff or serving space, and each guest gets an equal, hygienic portion. They suit short breaks, exhibition stalls, buses, outdoor shoots and offices where people eat at their desks. Packed and boxed meals are the same service, so KhanePe treats them as one.
How are special meals labelled?
Vendors label each box by type, such as regular vegetarian, Jain, Swaminarayan or vegan, and can add a name or team where needed. Share the count of each type in the requirement call, and the vendor packs them separately so distribution is quick and nobody receives the wrong meal.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for meal boxes?
The minimum order for meal boxes through KhanePe is 50 pax, counted across all box types in one order. Share the count of each box type, such as regular, Jain or vegan, so vendors can plan, pack and label them correctly. Large orders may be split across two vendors if needed, with one KhanePe team coordinating both.
How long do packed meals stay fresh?
Packed meals are meant to be eaten soon after delivery. Share the delivery time and when people will actually eat, so the vendor cooks as close to that time as possible and chooses dishes that hold well. For trips, mention travel time so the menu suits the journey.
Can boxed meals be delivered to several locations?
Yes, if the vendor can cover all addresses. Share every delivery point, headcount and time in one brief. KhanePe includes the delivery plan in the quotes, so you can see which vendor can reach all locations on time before you confirm.
Are the boxes eco-friendly?
Packaging depends on the vendor: options include compartment boxes, paper-based or bagasse containers and reusable steel for regular contracts. If you need plastic-free packaging, say so in the requirement call; only vendors able to supply it will quote, and the material is written into the order.
Can we get breakfast boxes for an early event?
Yes. Breakfast boxes with items such as poha, upma, idli, sandwiches, fruit and juice suit early starts, trainings and travel days. See the breakfast menus page for samples, and share the delivery time so vendors plan cooking and transport for an early morning.
