For smaller corporate gatherings, the business lunch package offers refined Cantonese dining at an accessible price. These packages include a curated selection of appetizers, main courses, and desserts, all served with the attentive service that Chows is known for. It’s an excellent option for team lunches, client meetings, or networking events during the workday.

Cantonese cuisine is particularly well-suited for celebrations because of its communal dining style. Dishes are designed to be shared, encouraging conversation and connection among guests. From a whole steamed fish symbolizing prosperity to a platter of golden dim sum, every dish can carry meaning and sentiment.

One of the biggest advantages of hosting at Chows is the ability to customize your menu. Whether your guests prefer seafood, meat, or vegetarian options, the chefs can prepare dishes to suit every palate and dietary requirement. Halal options are available, and the team can accommodate allergies and special requests with advance notice.

Event Formats, Capacity and Timings at Chows
Chows runs three event formats in Banani. Boardroom-style private dining suits 6-12 guests for review meetings and client lunches, served as a set Cantonese menu with a dedicated server. Standing receptions use the same room in a buffet configuration for 20-40 guests, which works for product launches and team celebrations. Full-day conferences and workshops can be booked from morning to evening, with tea service and lunch built into the schedule.
Timings are flexible: Chows is open Sunday to Saturday, 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and quiet weekday mornings are the easiest slot for a workshop booking. Menus are built around Cantonese classics – steamed whole fish, wok-tossed prawns and dim sum platters – with a vegetarian version of every course on request, so a mixed dietary group only needs one room.
Capacity, configuration options and photographs live on our private dining and event space page. If the booking only needs a short weekday slot, the business lunch packages are the cheaper route, and location, hours and contact details are on the visit page.
