65+ Years Of Experience
Tale of Our Culinary Legacy
Here Every Dish Reflects the Unique Tastes of Tradition
It is rightly said: “We pledge to deliver what we
promise.” That’s exactly what we at
Ambiswami Catering Services follow, even today. With high standards, our team at
Ambiswami Catering Services has maintained an everlasting legacy of culinary
excellence that remains unwavering. The driving force behind Ambiswami Catering
Services is M.S. Krishna Iyer, also known as Ambiswami, affectionately known as the
brand ambassador of Kerala Sadhya.
The natives, who are fond of his culinary expertise, started calling M.S. Krishna Iyer
"Ambiswami," thus making him the most celebrated culinary expert in Kerala. From
assisting his father Sangameswaran to becoming a household name, the founder of
Ambiswami Catering Services, Ambiswami left a legacy to be followed by his next
generation.
Sangameswaran, the father of Ambiswami, was his mentor. His father carved a
name for himself at that time; he was a renowned cooking wizard and has handled
numerous wedding caterings. By working alongside his father, it didn't take long for
Ambiswami to perfect his culinary skills and earn accolades and trust from clients.
Ambiswami started his culinary journey at the tender age of 17 by preparing Kalyana
Sadhya. He was a person who didn't let the unique tastes be confined to the kitchens
of the Brahmin families. He was instrumental in revealing those unique flavours to the
world and became a pioneer in the field.
The Beginning of Ambiswami Catering
Services
After the demise of his father, Ambiswami took
over. Started as a modest business in
the year 1960 by the eminent Ambiswami in Minalur, Ambiswami Catering Services
has flourished to become South India’s leading catering service company,
specialising in traditional vegetarian Sadhyas prevailing in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Ambiswami's Palada Payasam is equally renowned across the world. Thrissur folks
say: "If you want to experience the real taste of Payasam, try Ambiswami's Palada."
With gifted hands and utmost devotion, Ambiswami charmed the palates of many.
Here at Ambiswami Catering Services, we place great emphasis on the quality of our
ingredients, fresh and without any additives, as they help in preparing exceptional
food with the best quality, distinctive taste, and nutritional benefits. Ingredients for
preparing dishes, including milk, were sourced from Ambiswami’s own dairy. We
even assess the quality of the water before preparation (at the venue), as it
directly impacts the taste of our food. Before his demise, Ambiswami passed down the
rich culinary heritage to his dearest
sons, preserving the rich legacy of their family. And for the last 55 years, Ambiswami
Catering Services has been operating from Thrissur, Kerala, under the stewardship of
his cherished sons, offering the same distinguished taste and quality synonymous
with their father.
With 65+ years of collective domain experience, Ambiswami Catering Services has
been setting the benchmark for catering services in South India and overseas. And
the best part is that the people who once tasted Ambiswami's Sadhya will recall his
name for any next occasion, like weddings etc. in the family.

world-famous Sadhya.

the same gifted hands engaged in preparing Kerala cuisine without compromising
on taste, are managing Ambiswami Catering Services. And there is no drop in the

testament to the quality of our offerings. The reason behind the consistently excellent
Sadhya, even if it’s prepared for 100 or 1 lakh people, is our knowledge of culinary
variations in every dish across districts and adapting to changing trends in the food
industry. And that’s our secret recipe for the success and acceptance of our
authentic traditional dishes.
