The Olympia Handi Dish is a fantastic example of where aesthetic charm meets practical catering sense. It delivers that 'wow' factor guests love, making any dish feel more special.

  • Visual Impact: The authentic hammered copper look seriously elevates table presentation.
  • Care Required: It's hand-wash only and  needs polishing to maintain its lustre.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Indus Kitchen, a popular eatery in Leeds, was looking to enhance its table presentation to reflect the quality of its modern Indian cuisine. They replaced their standard ceramic bowls with the Olympia Handi Dishes to create a more premium and  authentic feel for their diners.

"Our customers absolutely love the new bowls. We've had so many positive comments, and  we've noticed a huge uptick in people photographing the food for their social media. They just look fantastic and  keep the curries lovely and  hot."

Sunita Joshi – Restaurant Manager

Since the switch, the restaurant reports a significant increase in user-generated content online, which has helped to attract new customers without any extra marketing spend.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth.
  • For hot dishes, you can gently pre-warm the bowl with hot water to enhance heat retention.
  • For cold dishes, pre-chilling the bowl in a refrigerator will keep the contents cooler for longer.
  • Always ensure the bowl is completely dry before adding food.

Keeping It Going

  • Strictly hand-wash only. Do not put in a dishwasher as the detergents and  high heat will damage the copper finish.
  • Use a soft cloth or sponge; avoid abrasive scourers that could scratch the steel or copper.
  • To maintain the bright copper shine, periodically clean the exterior with a dedicated copper polish (like products Y048 or Y050).
  • Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and  maintain its lustre.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Dish

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect serving dishes for your business.

Material Matters

A stainless steel inner wall is essential for food safety, easy cleaning, and  preventing flavour transfer. An attractive outer material, like the copper on this Olympia FE298 handi dish, provides the visual appeal.

Capacity & Portion Control

Think about what you'll be serving. This 660ml bowl is ideal for sharable sides, rice, or individual main courses like curry. Matching bowl size to portion size helps maintain consistency.

Aesthetics and  Ambiance

Does the style fit your brand? A hammered copper Indian serving bowl is perfect for traditional, rustic, and  artisan themes, instantly telling a story about your food's authenticity.

Heat Retention

For serving hot food, a double-walled construction is a non-negotiable feature. It makes a real difference to the customer experience, ensuring food doesn't go cold on its journey from the pass.

Practicality in Service

Consider the practicalities. Look for features like a stable base to prevent tipping and  a lipped rim to make carrying easier and  safer for your front-of-house team.

How a Double Wall Keeps Your Dishes Delicious

Ever wondered what 'double-walled' actually means for your food? Think of this commercial copper serving dish like a high-quality thermos flask, but for your table. There's an inner wall of stainless steel (touching the food) and  an outer wall of copper (what the customer sees). Between them is a small, sealed gap of air.

This trapped air is a poor conductor of heat, acting as a natural insulator. It massively slows down the process of a hot curry losing its warmth or a cold dessert dip becoming tepid. This means the food arrives at the table closer to its ideal temperature and  stays that way for longer, giving your customers a better, more consistent dining experience from the first spoonful to the last.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Indian & Asian Restaurants

    Use this medium copper serving bowl for authentic presentation of curries, biryanis, and  daals.

  • Gastropubs & Bistros

    Perfect for serving premium sides like rustic stews or triple-cooked chips in a memorable, high-quality bowl.

  • Hotel Banqueting

    A brilliant choice for elevating buffet displays or for serving shared dishes during functions and  events.

  • Event Caterers

    A durable and  stylish option that adds a touch of class to weddings, parties, and  corporate functions.
