The portions are large and the prices are reasonable and the Gingembe is made in-house. Would totally recommend this restaurant experience.“

Naveen's Cuisine Caterers • $$
2523 W North Ave, Chicago

“I hosted a private group cooking class for 25 people for my birthday, and everything was absolutely perfect! The space is beautiful and needed no addition decoration. I connected my ipad to the built-in sonos speakers to play my spotify playlist, and I was able to project a picture slide show on the large tv display monitors. From the moment I walked in he had everything accounted for - circular name tags for the wine glasses, hair ties for those with long hair, latex gloves, glasses for beverages (it's BYO), bottled and sparkling water, etc. Chef Naveen and I consulted on the menu and he took into account people who had food restrictions. Everything we made was absolutely delicious. I didn't tell my group we were cooking Indian food because some people automatically assume they won't like it, but let me tell you there were NO LEFTOVERS! The staff was amazing, always cleaning and organizing in the background. Chef Naveen was the highlight of the evening! He was so funny and engaging and he could remember everyone's name. My guests absolutely loved him. Everything was absolutely perfect. I give him 10 stars and will definitely be back again!“

Ovy Signature Catering Caterers • $$
7035 W Addison St, Chicago

“Ovy Signature Catering is the best of the best when it comes to wedding catering! From start to finish, working with Ati, Ovy and the rest of the team was such an enjoyable and seamless process. We could tell immediately how much they care for the couples that they work with and there was no doubt in our mind we made the right decision by working with them! Upon our first meeting they took the time to get to know us, our cultural backgrounds and used the details to put together an incredible wedding tasting menu. Everything was so delicious and just an exceptional experience - our hardest choice was deciding which of their amazing dishes we were going to select for our big day!We felt the love from the entire team through the entire process - they joined us at our venue walk-throughs at Wildman BT in West Town and worked seamlessly with the staff on site, helped us with our timeline, made last minute adjustments for us and assured us that no matter what requests we had they would do their best to deliver and they did 10 fold!The week of the wedding Ati texted me directly to make sure we were enjoying the week, offered to take on any tasks and assured us that we were taken care of so we could sit back and enjoy - it helped to relieve so much stress and I could not be more thankful for his kindness, attentiveness and his true concern for Brett and I on such a big weekend!When it came to the wedding day Ovy and the team provided 5 star service from start to finish - Brett and I had all our Hors d'oeuvres and a drink waiting for us right after our ceremony while the rest of our 200 guests enjoyed drinks from the incredible bartenders and 6 incredible Hors d'oeuvres through our passed cocktail hour. We have not gone a day since our wedding without someone telling us how incredible the food was! The entrees were served hot, timely and tasted even better than we had remembered it. We were even told that the presentation was like it was served at a gourmet restaurant - it truly was!Ovy Signature Catering is the best in the game and I would recommend them over and over again to anyone throwing a wedding! Thank you to the team for being part of the best weekend of our lives!“

“Wow! We loved these guys. Our venue sent us a list of recc'd caterers and I am so happy we went with Amazing Edibles. Firstly Remedy, Sarah Ann and Andrea were super responsive, totally knew all their stuff and were incredibly respectful of our budget and desires. The tasting with them was fun and Very tasty and I can't thank them enough for how our wedding went last weekend. We got to the venue and honestly everything was done and done better than I could have imagined. They flipped the room after the ceremony and I can't get the picture of how beautiful it looked out of my mind! They know how to set a gorgeous table even with our sort of minimal decor. The lead greeted us and asked us only necessary questions and then just got it done which was a godsend because of all the chaos of our families and wedding party etc. We came back to the private room after our photos and there was a gorgeous plate of appetizers and our signature drinks there waiting. All of our guests told us how amazing the food was, bar staff was great, and not a single thing was out of place or late or off. At the end of the night them or the venue staff Both? (they worked in tandem with Ovation, Chicago) handed us a box of all our stuff rounded up from everywhere and thank god they did because by midnight I dunno if we would have been super able to find it all ourselves! Absolute professionals who know exactly how to cater an amazing party. Our venue was super happy that we chose them because they love working with them too and it's clear to see why. They took all the stress out of all those small things you don't even think to think about and I can not recommend working with them enough. Thank you all again!“

“I have worked with Jewell many times since 2015, this was my first time using "Jewell To Go Catering" and the service and quality is just as high level. Most recently used for a cold serve lunch of 3 proteins, salad and starch for 20ppl - everything was great. The sauces did not have much punch to them, they were super mild, but I thought this was ideal for a business lunch where everyone had to be comfortable in a long meeting following eating without getting to brush their teeth, etc.“

“As someone who constantly seeks out innovative and health-conscious food options, I was thrilled to stumble upon this unique vegan hot muffin that intriguingly resembles an empanada. The quality of ingredients is top-notch. You can tell that each component has been chosen with care and consideration for both flavor and health benefits. The muffin is free from artificial additives, reinforcing its commitment to natural, wholesome nutrition. When it comes to price, this vegan hot muffin hits the sweet spot. It's affordable enough to be a regular part of your diet without feeling like a splurge, yet the quality and taste make it feel like a treat. This balance of cost and quality is not easily found in the market, especially for vegan options that are often priced at a premium.“

My husband and I knew we wanted to do great and delicious mexican food for our wedding and we were struggling to find someone who could do that in a large venue setting, and was willing to travel to Janesville, Wisconsin. I found Rossy through tons of research online and so happy I did! She is so incredibly kind and we enjoyed taking the drive to Chicago where she cooked right in front of us a variety of options to try for our wedding.I know that my husband and I probably over communicated often in the 9 months leading up to the wedding with tons of questions and making sure all would go right. She was so patient and kind, communicated with us as we needed, and made sure we were confident with the day of.The day of was amazing! The set up of the food was great for a buffet for 220 people! It was delicious and was a HUGE talk even after the wedding from family and friends. She had plenty of food that people were able to go up for seconds if they wanted to! :)Her team was so friendly and fast.

“I've always bought Kasia's frozen pierogi's in my local market and honestly did not know that Kasia Deli was the same company. I was delighted to see other products made fresh like the cabbage rolls that I did not hesitate to ask for. They were sold by weight so I bought 2 pounds, 1 IB with no sauce and 1 IB with what seems like a thin layer of tomato sauce. I did ask for extra sauce which I thought I was getting a few ounces but only saw that she gave a 1 oz ($.35) added to my bill. (I suggest you not get extra sauce). I did see a box of kolaczki cookies on top of the deli counter and I thought they were made in-house (they are not). The cookies were doughy and not enough fruit jam. Overall, the food was fantastic and I would come back for more cabbage rolls and fresh pierogi's. Location is convenient and they have limited free parking spots on the side of the building.“

AFTER A QUICK GOOGLE I WAS LEAD TO THE BRIGHT PINK BUILDING THAT HAD SO MANY GOOD REVIEWS. WHEN I ARRIVED I SAW THAT THEY HAD SLICES AVAILABLE BUT THEY WERE SOLD OUT OF CHEESE AT THE TIME, SO I DECIDED TO JUST ORDER A SMALL CHEESE THIN CRUST SINCE I WAS ASSURED IT WOULD ONLY BE ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THE GUYS HERE WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND MADE THE 10 MINUTE WAIT GO BY WITH EASE. BEFORE I KNEW IT I WAS BEING TOLD THAT MY PIZZA WAS READY. I HAD TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PIZZA BEFORE I LEFT OUT AND IT WAS A CLASSIC LOOKING THING OF BEAUTY. I HAD TO TRY A SLICE BEFORE CLOSING THE BOX BACK AND MY TASTE BUDS WERE GREETED WITH PIPING HOT DELICIOUSNESS. THE QUALITY OF THE SAUCE WAS VERY GOOD AND IT HAD THAT TRADITIONAL CLASSIC TASTE THAT YOU LOOK FOR IN A GREAT PIZZA. THE CRUST MAINTAINED ITS CRISP INTEGRITY, EVEN THOUGH I ASKED FOR A LITTLE EXTRA SAUCE ON IT. THE MELTY PULL ON THAT CHEESE WAS PERFECT FOR ME AS WELL. I ONLY ADDED CRUSH RED PEPPERS TO IT BECAUSE I LIKE A LITTLE KICK WITH MINE AND THAT MADE IT PREFECT FOR ME.

“I recently hosted a 50th birthday party for my wife with approx. 175 guests. Nit and his team helped make this event the greatest night of our lives. From first contact, to the tasting, to executing flawlesly the night of the event, everything was top notch and professional !! The tasting was a first of its kind experience for me and everything was so delicious it was hard to decide what not to include... but Nit helped guide my decisions, knowing from experience what people want to eat at a party, how they want to eat it, and how much of it they will eat.. but his greatest feat of the night may have been his last minute change to the floor plan to put a quad bar in the middle of the room, resulting in quick, no line beverage service the entire evening! I received many compliments specifically about just that!! They served alcohol provided by me, and when we started to get low on tequila and vodka, Nit sprung into action, ran down the street, and came back with 7 bottles of each!! I wanted food stations and not a sit down dinner. they set up 3 stations around the room, each with something different, as well as an amazing desert table, and the service from the staff was outstanding !! I would definitely recommend using J&L catering for your event. I would also recommend slightly over estimating your number of guests as I did to be sure you hopefully have a little leftovers of each item, not only because it was delicious, but because if you have no leftovers, it means at some point, you ran out... Thank you Nit and the staff at J&L catering !!“

Not only that but she was literally our 'day of' planner in the sense that she took charge on our wedding day and made sure everything stayed on schedule and ran smoothly without me having to worry. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a top quality caterer where you get individualized attention and flexibility. I looked at some of the large caterer wedding packages where they want to charge you for extra forks and were hard to get ahold of and I couldn't imagine having worked with any of them for our wedding.

It didn't help that 2 couples walked in and went to the bar in order to "jump" the line and 1 couple ended up being seated, that was unfair. It did also take the waitress a while to take our order. If it were not for my date and the fact that this was important to him and that I absolutely love Italian food, I would have opted to leave the restaurant.

“I almost don't want to write a review because it's my hidden, cool spot! This is an amazing location, especially when it's warm and you can sit outside, to get some incredible food (this is some of the best barbeque you've ever had - no exaggeration, and I'm notoriously critical about food things) and enjoy feeling like you're in nature without having to leave the city.Give Soul and Smoke some love and all the dollars. But make sure Rockwell on the River doesn't get too crowded now that I've shared my secret. Deal?* Also I totally crave their BBQ enough that I'll trek over here just for takeout too.Parking: You can usually park really close by on the street. At most I've parked about half a block away.“

“Andrew and his team catered our wedding in October 2021. He is a true pro and the type of guy that makes you feel like a cool and more special person for knowing him. The stunning pictures of his food posted here are truly representative of his talents/execution and are as delicious as they look. Most of all Andrew was an absolute pleasure to work with and was exceedingly patient and kind to us. My mother in law, who has past professional experience in the industry as well, was able to book his team for a subsequent event for her office and she sang his praised for that event as well. He is from Louisiana and has mastered Creole/Cajun classics but was also able to riff off of all our ideas (for a ~7 course cocktail style menu) and provided plenty of helpful feedback to hone the final menu. He even sourced specific product imports from back home to ensure the quality of his dishes. Andrew was flexible and adaptive in responding to challenging/unpredictable situations with grace and poise. I am jealous of anyone who gets to attend one of his events and hope for the privilege again someday soon.“

“We are so happy we booked Biagio for our wedding!! We first met with Zaneta at the very beginning of our venue search, she answered every question (and I had many!), I am still amazed by how quickly she replied to my emails. She was so incredibly patient and worked with us to make our day special. We absolutely loved the rustic vibe and cool decorations, it has a loft style to it. We were able to have our rehearsal dinner right next door (at a discount) which was a huge perk and convenience. The food sold us - Blanca made sure every detail was perfect for our wedding!! We cannot recommend Biagio enough!!“

“There are no words to express how appreciative and grateful we are for using Entertaining Company as our wedding caterer! Jane, who was our go to person throughout the planning, was truly exceptional. I really loved her energy and personality while speaking to her, she was very attentive and communicated very effectively throughout this entire process and then I took that first bite and was sold. The food was so flavorful and the presentation was beautiful, and creative I knew I wanted her and Entertaining Company to cater my wedding. To this day my guests can’t stop talking about how amazing the food was: flavorful and warm and the service was impeccable. They also created our escort candy boxes, and provided our late night bites and coordinated with our wedding venue and florist and created custom dessert trees which were a big highlight of the night! They also created our wedding cake which was very tasty and beautiful too! We wanted unique, different, fun, and overall excellent quality for everything and that is exactly what we got! I would seriously have my wedding all over again, just for the food – it was that good.“
