Moti Raja Catering

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Moti Raja Catering is a Vancouver caterer with a dedicated Temple Wedding Menu alongside Indian, BBQ and tandoori, hors d’oeuvres, deli and breakfast menu options. For couples researching Vancouver Indian wedding catering, its official materials offer a starting point for comparing meal formats, dish choices and event support.

The business states that it has catered in Vancouver for more than 40 years. Its official site lists a production kitchen on Ross Street and describes event services that can include food, dishware, linens, servers, decorations and tenting. The exact scope, cost and availability of these services should be confirmed for each wedding.

Services and specialization

Moti Raja’s most clearly documented wedding offering is its Temple Wedding Menu. The page lists three wedding lunch formats with breakfast or tea service, vegetarian dishes, dal, breads, sides, desserts and beverages. It also says the company prepares Indian sweets and food for Gurudwara ceremonies, and that items can be made vegetarian on request.

The official site also publishes Indian buffet, Indian tandoori BBQ, table-service and East Meets West buffet formats. Couples planning a reception or a separate wedding event can review hors d’oeuvres, canapés, deli and breakfast menus. These menu pages show available examples and choice structures; they do not confirm that every item is available for every event.

• Temple wedding lunch menus A, B and C
• Indian buffet, table-service and tandoori BBQ formats
• Hors d’oeuvres, canapés, deli and breakfast options
• Vegetarian items available on request, according to the official menu page

Service area and who it may suit

Moti Raja is based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Its event-services page says it works with venues across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, and it lists venues the company describes as favourites. This supports a Lower Mainland event focus, but couples should ask whether their specific venue is within the service area and whether staffing, delivery or travel costs apply.

The published menus may suit couples seeking Indian food for a temple wedding, Gurudwara ceremony, reception, family gathering or another wedding-related event. The site also includes mixed-menu options such as an East Meets West buffet. Couples with fully plant-based, halal, allergen-managed or other specific dietary needs should discuss them directly, because the published menus do not establish the final accommodation process.

• Based in Vancouver
• Officially describes venues across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland
• Relevant to temple weddings and Gurudwara ceremonies
• Also publishes broader Indian and mixed-menu event formats

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the amount of menu detail on Moti Raja’s own website. Couples can review wedding lunch formats as well as Indian buffet, tandoori, hors d’oeuvres and breakfast selections before making an enquiry. The event-services page also lists practical event categories beyond food: dishware, linens, servers, decorations and tenting.

The company says it can help clients choose a venue and bring food, service and décor to it. That statement does not mean Moti Raja owns or operates the venues listed on its site, and it does not confirm availability at a particular venue or date.

The practical limitation is that the online menus are not a complete wedding proposal. Staffing levels, rentals, décor scope, service style, dietary procedures, delivery coverage and timing must be confirmed directly. Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published.

• Published menu detail helps couples prepare an initial catering brief
• Officially listed event-service categories extend beyond food
• Date availability and final inclusions are not published
• Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published

Pricing

Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published. The Temple Wedding Menu identifies menu formats and notes that certain specialty items or décor options carry an extra charge, but it does not list current per-person wedding rates, minimum spends, staffing rates, delivery fees, rental charges or tax and gratuity treatment.

Request a written quote that names the selected menu, guest-count assumption, service format, staffing, rentals, travel or delivery, speciality stations, décor and applicable fees. This gives couples a consistent basis for comparing proposals.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

• No current wedding per-person rates are published on the official pages reviewed
• Specialty items and décor are identified as extra-charge options
• Request a detailed written estimate before committing

Contact and booking

Moti Raja lists telephone number (604) 325-5014 and an address at 8273 Ross Street, Vancouver, BC V5X 4W1. Its official website provides the menu and event-service information most relevant to a first enquiry, and the contact page includes an enquiry form and the email address info@motiraja.ca.

For a productive initial conversation, provide the wedding date, event locations, estimated guest count, preferred meal style, dietary requirements and whether staffing, rentals, décor or tenting may be needed. The published choices can frame the discussion, but direct confirmation is needed before relying on a menu item or service.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm availability for the date and for every event in the wedding schedule. Ask which format best suits the guest count and service style, whether a tasting is available, and how final guest-count changes or menu substitutions are handled.

Couples should also confirm vegetarian, dietary and allergen procedures; venue kitchen access; beverage responsibilities; rentals; staffing; set-up and clean-up; delivery boundaries; payment schedule; cancellation terms; and the total quoted price. For a temple or Gurudwara event, ask specifically about ceremonial-food requirements and service timing.

• Date availability and wedding schedule
• Final menu, tasting options and dietary/allergen procedures
• Staffing, rentals, décor, tenting and set-up/clean-up scope
• Venue logistics, payment, cancellation terms and total price

Menu planning notes

The temple-wedding menus include vegetarian dish choices, a dal selection, bread, sides, dessert and beverages, with optional specialty stations and décor identified separately. The Indian menu also shows buffet and community-style table-service structures with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. These formats can help couples decide whether a buffet, table service, stations or lighter reception food best fits their plans.

Ask for the exact proposed menu and all add-ons in writing. This is particularly important for multi-day celebrations, changing guest numbers, ceremony-specific food requirements or a guest list with varied dietary needs.

• Compare buffet, table-service and station-oriented formats
• Use published dish lists to discuss preferences
• Get final inclusions and add-ons in writing
