Manjeet ‘Jeeta’ Zaildar lands in Melbourne from rural Punjab with $300, limited English, but unlimited passion for authentic Indian cooking and an unwavering dream to share his culture’s flavors with Australia.

While working in cleaning services and mining across Victoria, Jeeta never stopped perfecting his Indian recipes in small community gatherings. Each weekend, he catered friends’ weddings and parties, building a reputation for authentic flavors and generous portions that would become the Jeeta Catering trademark.

With a small loan and a big heart, Jeeta Catering officially launches in Laverton, Melbourne. Starting with just 5 signature dishes and one delivery van, the mission was clear: deliver Melbourne’s most authentic Indian catering experience at every event, from 15 to 500 guests.

Word spreads fast. Jeeta Catering becomes the preferred Indian caterer for Melbourne’s Indian community and beyond – catering 200+ weddings, 150+ corporate events annually. Expanded menu to 150+ dishes including live tandoor stations, chaat counters, and customizable wedding packages. Service areas now cover all of Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Jeeta Catering achieves a milestone no other Indian caterer in Australia has reached – successfully catering events from 15 intimate family dinners to 50,000-guest mega celebrations. With 24/7 service, halal certification, 15+ live food stations, and a team of 50+ trained staff, we’re now Melbourne’s #1 choice for Indian wedding catering, corporate catering, and party catering across Victoria.
