Here's exactly how it works from our kitchen at Basement, 261 George Street, two minutes from Wynyard Station.

Platter Boxes vs Full-Service Office Catering
Platter Boxes
Order online, pick a pickup slot, and collect — no staff on site, no setup. Best for smaller teams and quick turnarounds.
Full-Service Catering
Our team comes to your office, sets up and serves — suited to small teams through to large functions. We recommend 5–7 days' notice (2–3 weeks for groups over 100).
What's Actually in Each Box
Each box holds 5 rolls, one of each variety below — no picking and choosing within a box.
Veg Platter Box — $75
Paneer Tikka, Malai Soya Chaap, Hara Bhara, Samosa Chaat, Mirchi Vada
Non-Veg Platter Box — $85
Butter Chicken, Rogan Josh, Kadhai Chicken, Chicken 65, Seekh Kebab
Ordering a Platter Box
Ordering a platter box for the office is a short process: choose your quantity of Veg ($75) and Non-Veg ($85) boxes, pay securely online, and collect from our restaurant on George Street at your pickup slot. For anything bigger than boxes can comfortably cover, ask about full-service catering instead.
Conclusion
For a CBD office order, the logistics matter more than the menu itself — and between the George Street pickup point two minutes from Wynyard, clear same-day and next-day cutoffs, and real box contents rather than a vague description, The Grand Palace's catering box process is built to be predictable.
Whether you're grabbing a handful of boxes on the walk back to the office or arranging full-service catering for a bigger team, ordering ahead of the stated cutoff is the one thing to get right. Get your Veg and Non-Veg box quantities sorted and place your order online.
