Our heritage

Seventy-five years of the same leaf.

A Valluvanadan food tradition carried into a company, and into thousands of celebrations across Kerala.

The story

Food that tastes like home, served like a discipline.

Naludesam Namboodiries grew out of three-quarters of a century of Valluvanadan cooking. In 1999 the family tradition became a company — Catering & Event Management — so the same sadhya could travel from the home kitchen to weddings, temple festivals and community halls.

The promise has stayed simple: a complete, traditional Kerala vegetarian feast, cooked with care and served in proper order on a banana leaf. Over 50,000 customers and 1Cr+ people who enjoyed our sadhya later, that's still the whole job.

The journey

From one kitchen to thousands of leaves.

Milestones in the Naludesam tradition.

A Valluvanadan kitchen

The family's traditional cooking takes shape — sadhya, payasam and the discipline of the banana leaf.

1999

Established as a company

The home tradition becomes Naludesam Namboodiries Catering & Event Management, taking the sadhya to public events.

Today

50,000+ customers

Weddings, housewarmings, temple programmes and office events across the region — 1Cr+ people have enjoyed our sadhya.

What stays the same

Three things we don't compromise on.

Tradition

Recipes and serving order kept the Valluvanadan way — the sadhya tastes like the ones people grew up with.

Discipline

Clean cooking, on-time service and food planned around your headcount, venue flow and timing.

Hospitality

The familiar Kerala welcome — guests leave a Naludesam meal feeling looked after, not just fed.

Make us part of your celebration.

Seventy-five years of sadhya, one booking away.
