Caterers near Needham Heights

“My team worked with Forklift on catering a large client appreciation event this spring. We really appreciated everything the whole staff did to help keep things running smoothly at every step, from early planning advice to helping us pack up after the event. Forklift created a 100% vegan menu for us, and the food was DELICIOUS and so BEAUTIFUL! We were really blown away, and got many compliments from guests. We felt like it really demonstrated that you can have a 100% plant-based menu at an event and have it be crowd-pleasing. Thank you for everything, Forklift! We'd love to work with you again.“

“We just moved to Boston. A friend of mine recommended Ms. Yeşim. We went there to meet her and decided to eat something while we were there. The food we ate was delicious. Ms. Yeşim and her staff welcomed us with a smile. She also helped us with many things. We were very glad to have met her. If you ever go there, you should definitely visit her. Stop by to taste their food and meet them, thank you to Dolma Restaurant ?? “

“I absolutely love this shop. They've always been welcoming and friendly towards my lack of cheese knowledge. The selection from wines, cheese, and snacks is always on point. The people are friendly, engaging if needed, and so wonderful. I really love this shop. If you haven't been yet and have wondered if its worth stopping by, this is your sign.“

“I've been a regular customer here for a few months now. In that time, I've probably tried seven or eight different paninis, wraps, and chicken and rice dishes. Everything has been excellent - fresh, quality ingredients, scratch cooking, perfect ingredient proportions, and an eclectic mixture of culinary influences, including Indian and Italian.The prices are very reasonable for the excellent quality and generous quantity of the dishes. The service is great, as well - the owner, Sam, is very warm and friendly.As other reviewers have mentioned, ordering online is definitely recommended - the establishment is small, and there isn't much room to wait. My online orders have always been ready in 10-15 minutes.I really can't recommend TruFoods Kitchen highly enough. I've taken multiple friends here (to universally glowing reviews) and I will continue frequenting it myself. Give it a try!“

“I tried the plain bagel, muffin, chocolate croissant, danish, mixed fruits, and yogurt fruit cup with granola.- Plain Bagel: Subpar. Too chewy.- Muffin: Fluffy, moist, and tasty. This was my favorite of the things I tried.- Chocolate Croissant: Good but nothing special. Quality is comparable to supermarket-bought croissants rather than a fresh croissant from a bakery.- Danish: Too sweet so I wasn’t a fan.- Mixed Fruits: They weren’t that sweet, but you can never go wrong with fruits to balance out the heavier foods.- Yogurt Fruit Cup and Granola: The portion size was good. The yogurt was very smooth. I would have preferred plain yogurt. The granola was very crunchy and good.They have a lot of different menus to choose from for catering.“

“We used Baker's Best to cater an event at our home with 26 people. They were recommended to me by a friend and they did not disappoint! We ordered a range of food - our favorite was the salmon, yet the vegetable spring rolls, spinach triangles, shrimp, cheese/fruit platter and cookie platter were all delicious. I was pleased that the delivery arrived perfectly on time and the instructions for reheating were clear. I will definitely use them again!“

“I've been meaning to write this review for sometime, because Lisa and her staff absolutely deserve their flowers. We have used Tex's BBQ express for our annual staff cookouts for years. When we send out the invitation one of the first questions that are asked is "are we getting food from Tex's?" The staff are so polite, accommodating, and easy to work with. I am excited to use them each year for annual outings, but their food is so delicious and they make me want to host parties of my own with them on the grill. CANNOT recommend highly enough“

“We had a good experience with Flame ordering the Santorini package for 20. The chicken and rice were delicious, the salad was fresh, and the packaging was thoughtful, particularly the squeeze bottles for the dressing and garlic sauce. The hummus was okay and the tzatziki was good, as was the pita. The main complaint I have is that there was nowhere near enough falafel for 20 people. There were about 20 pieces in total, the aluminum container was nowhere near full, and many people didn't get to try it because a single piece of falafel isn't a serving for one person. The package definitely skewed heavily toward the cheaper things on the menu, like salad and rice. There were a lot of leftovers for both. That being said, would work with these guys again.“

“Love this shop so much! we have had multiple cakes made here for special occasions so we decided to put in a special request for my baby shower and they definitely came threw!! it wasn't only beautiful but also delicious and made with love, thank you so much!!“

“We have used La Bonne Maison twice. The first was for our wedding in 2016 and our guests raved about the food. Even our DJ said it was the best wedding meal he had ever eaten. The second time was for my graduation party following my master's degree in 2023. Same thing! Even the presentation for a backyard picnic meal felt special. La Bonne Maison delivered real ceramic serving dishes and elevated the whole affair. And their food is just SO GOOD. Their menus are not ordinary but not froufrou either. They are intelligently designed with your input and perfectly executed. For any special occasion, La Bonne Maison will make sure your menu meets your expectations -- and be delicious!!“

“The food there was amazing and the person at the cashier who served us was WONDERFUL! He came back to check on us often, he was VERY friendly, and we had a really nice talk. Would definitely come again, huge thank you to him, and indubitably this restaurant should get more than 5 stars.“

“I'm from Texas and there's only two places I eat BBQ there, Risky's and the Rib Crib, so I was hoping the chopped beef sandwich would taste the same. It tastes exactly the same! I am very pleased with Blue Ribbon BBQ! Thank you!! ❤️“

“I contacted Drew to cater a painting party for my daughters upcoming wedding. I ordered sandwiches and salads for the event. Everyone commented on how delicious and fresh everything was. The sandwiches were not skimpy.. they were generous with ingredients and sooo good. Don’t hesitate to use Cricket Catering…. You will be so happy did!!! Thank you Drew ?“

“We were so happy to have Maria's Catering cook all the great food for our Son and his new Wife's Wedding Reception Dinner! My Mother & Father had them cater many dinners and lots of our family members did also. They have catered at Son's of Italy for many years where we had the reception and they came highly recommended! I see why now. My son had his reception the weekend before Thanksgiving and even though Maria's Catering had back to back parties that weekend they still catered for us too! She also explained everything very well when I called with any questions! Everybody loved the food! My husband and I would recommend Maria's Catering to all for wedding receptions and any parties and wish them a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!“

“My team contracted Forklift Catering for a high-profile Harvard event early this year. Forklift's professional sales and event management team were incredible partners in the development and execution of a spectacular event every step of the way. They were always available to address any question or concern and were so adaptable to every plan change (down to just days before the event). They even functioned as our florist and arranged breathtaking floral displays to enhance the ambience. The catering staff and chef produced and provided great food that were the highlight of the event; I heard from everyone how much they enjoyed it (even had some on-call colleagues who gladly answered our calls because they knew they were going to be fed great food during their shift). Forklift is a top recommendation for any high-caliber catered event you might need.“

“I reached out to Mai and her team SUPER LAST MINUTE to create an 'elevated tropical' themed space/backdrop for a virtual event in our office in the Seaport. Mai circled the wagons on her team quickly and they were committed to help make the event a success. Mai is SUPER professional, prompt, imaginative, and truly a delight to work with. The room came out great, they stayed within our budget and we were so happy with the result. I would use Mai and her team at BG Concepts again in a heartbeat!“

“Excellent food! Abundant and tasty! We ordered from Arsenal Catering Group for our kids' B'nai Mitzvah celebration. It was a large party, but everyone said that the food was very good. Communication was excellent throughout the planning process. Delivery was prompt and the driver was very helpful with the set up. Overall, we are very happy with our experience. Thank you!!“

“I order Basil Tree for my office and every bite we rave about how fresh everything is. The salad, pad thai and sandwiches are our go to. Customer support in ordering and delivery personal are top quality and very communicative at every step.Highly recommend Basil tree for any of your catering needs.“

“We had so much fun at our tasting yesterday! John and Julie were so personable and knowledgeable. The food was absolutely delicious too - I think the brisket was our favorite. Super delicious and we look forward to sharing their food at our wedding.“

“One of the BEST scones, lemon squares and hand pies I have ever had (& I have a sweet tooth!) and the HAND PIES - no joke I watch a grown man actually jump for joy after biting into the Buffalo chicken hand pie - ha,ha. Chef Edith truly puts all her passion into her cooking & it shows. Love that I can also grab frozen items to go and heat at home after work - so delicious.“

“We had our bar mitzvah party catered by Virginia’s Fine Foods. The food was absolutely amazing - great variety, superb flavors, and very nice presentation. Everything was very fresh and tasty. To top it off ,working with Arda was a pleasure. She is extremely professional and also kind and accommodating and creative and just a lovely warm person. It felt more like I was being helped by a family member who is a great chef. I don’t think I will ever need to look for another caterer again.And her super comfy cafe/ restaurant has delicious sandwiches and the best falafel. Thank you Arda for helping make my sons’ bnei mitzvah a great success!“

“Our experience with Chef Noire Boston was outstanding!Starting with being an amazing human in general, she was a top-tier professional and executed our collaboration flawlessly but made it so fun to be a part of. When she said "full-service" that was an understatement. She arrived with her team promptly, more than prepared and accommodated the unique and flexible needs of our event as it evolved and that's even before I've even talk about the food-- a grazing table so beautifully presented that no one wanted to even touch it, let alone eat it and then once they did eat it they couldn't stop. We even had guests asking for "bigger plates" so they could enjoy more of her delicious food. The food was so thoughtfully curated and, in every bite, you could tell Chef prepares every dish and element of her menu from a place of love. I mean, the food was so good!I could go on but I'll simply leave this review with gratitude for Chef Noire Boston, her team and extraordinary talent and a 10/10-- highly recommend. We'll definitely be using Chef again (hopefully soon :))- Victoria Strickland and the lululemon Newbury Experiential team“

“I was very excited to come here for my birthday but was very disappointed that I was put in a corner by the bathroom. It was very shadowy so I could barely take good pics of my table set up. The table set up was cute though. The hostess was nice. The server sang happy birthday with a cupcake and a pink candle. She helped me take a picture of me. On the other hand I really liked the Alice in Wonderland theme in the restroom.“

“I ordered this cake for my sister’s birthday, and was so beyond impressed. I ordered over the phone, and asked them if they could make a dinosaur design on the top. They responded without a beat asking what kind of dinosaur! They were so ready to go above and beyond! I live out of state, and had never been to Lizzys before, so I was going in a bit blind, but I honestly couldn’t have anticipated how blown away I was by the staff and by the end product. My sister was so excited, and it really made her birthday special!“

“Better Life Food is AMAZING! We have had the pleasure of being able to have them cater several functions for us. Their suggestions for menus, attention to details, and service are incredible. It is incredibly comforting to know that every possible detail will be handled by them, and will be delicious too.“

“Clean, well organized corner grocery store and deli. Friendly and well staffed. The store is small, but not tiny. With that in mind they can't stock everything, however, all the basics are there and fresh with a few unique items. I appreciated being asked if I needed help a few times on my 10 minute visit. Keep up the friendly customer service!“

“The perfect ending to the perfect wedding. We had Frosty come towards the end of my son's wedding reception as a surprise to everyone. After a fun night of eating, drinking and dancing it was the perfect ending. What fun so many guests posted pictures having an ice cream. The attendant was fun and helpful and moved quickly. I highly recommend Frosty for any occasion, who doesn't love an ice cream!“

“I get take out here often for lunch during work days. Good tuna and chicken subs and the pizza is the best in Needham in my opinion. Wait time for calling in your order is usually 10 to 15 minutes even during half days when all the crazy kids are roaming around Needham. Staff is friendly.“

“The process with Mariah from Food Trucks 2 Go was seamless from start to finish!! I had called many food trucks on my own with no luck and she was able to secure a food truck in no time. Mariah always responded promptly to my messages or questions and was so accommodating. The food truck was a hit for my son and niece's high school grad party and everyone loved the food and the service. I would highly recommend working with food trucks 2 go for your next event!!“

“Dushez is not only a wonderful catering choice, it is the best! They catered our son's Bar Mitzvah and 3 years later we still get rave reviews about the food. I have attended many events catered by others and hands down prefer Dushez. The presentation is stunning, the food is delicious, and Yoel and Galit are amazing!“
