50 Best Caterers near Albany

“Friendly staff and lovely seating interior. Food was delicious with good wok fire. The sizzling seafood plate was flavorful and went well with jasmine rice. The red duck curry was delicious with sticky rice. Coconut pad Thai was very satisfying and great portion. I saw lots of take out orders getting delivered every several minutes at dinner time. Glad to find out about this restaurant as it stays open till 10 pm. Easy parking in its own lot. I will come back to try other dishes.“

“Mashaallah started out as a food truck but now has a stall in the food court of Westfield San Francisco. Despite its humble appearance, this small business offered some of the best Pakistani food I've had in the city from its steam table of freshly-prepared meat and vegetable curries. A star dish here (which came recommended by Soleil Ho) was the Lamb Korma, made of super tender, lean, meaty chunks of lamb in a spiced curry. On my combination plate, I also got the Chana Masala (chickpea curry) and the Palak Paneer (cheese cubes in a velvety puréed spinach sauce), served along with rice. Every item was delicately spiced and flavorful without being too salty, and the garnishes of raw onion and cilantro brought out the freshness of the dishes. On the side, I also had an order of Garlic Naan (another star item), which was perfectly soft and chewy and had a wonderful flavor and aroma from the garlic and herbs. Overall, the food here was absolutely delicious, and the owners were so friendly and hospitable too!“

“My friend recommended this place to me. The place is fairly simple and clean. You order at the counter. There are a few tables for you to dine in, but I find most people order to take out.I like the Simurgh kebab sandwich. The kebabs were delicious but what stood out for me was the Turkish bread. It's not like anything I've had before. It is grilled, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is probably my favorite sandwich bread now. They make them all from scratch.I've only been there twice, but it's a place I would return again.“

“A charming spot in downtown Oakland, where great service meets quality coffee. The owner’s dedication to improvement, seeking customers feedback, and surprising us with special treats, be it coffee or pastries, adds a delightful touch to the experience.“

“Kiss My Seoul is a great reason to come to the alley across from Hall of Justice, even if you don't have jury duty. A very well priced, very large bowl of food, with many ingredients. I had the pork, it was seasoned beautifully. This is now my go-to when I want "Seoul Food". ??“

“This Korean market used to be in Downtown Oakland and a few years ago to moved to Montclair which is my neighborhood so I personally was happy it moved there.EM Deli has a wide range of Korean and Asian products ranging from meats, noodles, rices, some veggies and a variety of sauces and spices.There is some prepared cooked foods (fried rice, kimpap, etc.)They have a meat section which has Korean bbq grade cuts (thinly sliced steak, pork for hotpot or Korean bbq)“

“GREAT FLAVOR, GREAT FOOD, GREAT PRICES.Been hunting around the East Bay for a couple of weeks now looking for that good Kefta And Doner experience, and I was really disappointed with a couple of the restaurants because their meat just didn't have any flavor. Really bland.Not here! Ordered the Kofte kebab plate, and it was absolutely delicious. Tender perfectly seasoned on fresh pita bread, a scoop of rice, both yogurt and hot sauce, and a dollop of Baba Ganoush.This is one of the best combination Middle Eastern plates I've had in the East bay, ever. I highly recommend this place. Clean interior, friendly staff, clean bathroom, and it easy to find location.“

“Ordered BBQ catering for a Christmas party. Everything was amazing, on time, great communication and easy. I paid via invoice, and then just showed up to pick up everything. Would order again! Brisket, chicken, and mac and cheese were all delicious.“

“Hired Hedge coffee for a private event. They accommodated my special timing. Thier coffee was just divine, so smooth and tasty. My team members were very impressed with them. Fantastic friendly service as well. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them.“

“We hired Jason to cook and serve two paellas for a Christmas party. His paella is delicious, made with fresh and creative ingredients, and beautifully prepared! Our guests really enjoyed the food! Jason was also very responsive and easy to work with in planning the event. We highly recommend him and look forward to another paella party in the future!“

“I had the best red lentils I've ever tasted here. The vegetable wot is especially good, well seasoned greens, cabbage, corn, etc. on injera. And the parking's good, especially for Berkeley. My companion and I each got parking spots right in front of the restaurant.“

“I like the pastries here but I usually come Sunday morning and they are either late to open - or not open it seems today. Also the pastries are extremely limited and seem left over at that time. I mean just close Sunday I guess. I doubt I'm coming back again that time.“

“We have now been here several times. This the perfect 1/2 way point between picking my son and going home. It is across from the Coast Guard Island. The location is safe. Plenty of parking. We come for the FILIPINO STYLE barbecue and friendly service. Everything is great! Especially when the mother-in-law makes a surprise visit and cooks up her specialty pansit (not on the menu). Everything is fresh and cooked (and barbecued) with love. I think we’ve tried everything now. My favorite is toss between the FILIPINO STYLE barbecue Banh Mi sandwich and “THANK QUE” chicken bowl. There are a few tables inside and when the weather is nice, plenty of seating outside. I look forward to hearing live music in the future out there.Parking: Parking is shared with the charter school during weekday school hours. Take notice of parents, zooming in/out of their designated entrance and exit at the end of the school day!“

“I stopped here out of curiosity to after getting items from Arizmendi and Los Cantaros Taqueria. I got the Honey Cake slice, chocolate baklava, and pistachio almond cookies (gluten free). Hatice the owner is very friendly and answered any questions I had. The Honey Cake was amazing, just the right amount of sweetness, not too much. I ate up the cake and baklava but shared the cookies. My family members said the cookies were great. I'll try to arrive before 12noon another time to get their breakfast items, like the egg in the hole. This will be one of my new go to places for food.“

“Creperie Saint Germain had served crepes for us at our company and it was such a success. They had a lot of options for me which is not usually the case since I have gluten-free restricted diet. Their crepes are awesome, the crepe bar was a great idea to have in the office. And the holiday theme was looking awesome.“

“First time eating here. I got the Chicken Curry rice bowl with the sides and hot sauce. It was so delicious!!! Amazing. And? Next time I’ll ask for less rice and more food on top. It was pretty rice heavy and wished I’d gotten twice as many greens. And weird - I only got one piece plantain, and? regardless- the my meal was amazing. Service was kind and friendly.Love this place!!!Welcome to West Oakland!! ??“

“Laetitia and her crew came to Google, to boost team morale and fill us up with DELICIOUS crêpes. My teammates have not stopped raving about how amazing they were and have already begged me to bring them back to campus for round 2! Laetitia is easy to contact and communicate with. Her team set up in under an hour and were very prepared to serve as the lines built. I personally cannot wait for them to come back. It was such a hit and so reasonably priced. I highly recommend asking them to cater your next event!“

“Dennis was very responsive. And assigned team for event was also very responsive. Team brought in their own plates silverware, tools to the party home. Arrived early and took everything back out. Their storage equipment was clean and organized! Appetizers were a bit dry, but salads, Chicken, salmon, ribeye, dinner rolls, and mashed potatoes were wonderful!!!! Successful event so family could focus on celebrating, instead of cooking! Thanks Liberation Foods team!!!“

“Chef Emily hosted a team offsite and taught us how to make laksa. Our team had a broad range of experience, from people experienced in making Asian food to those whose most advanced cooking experience was using a microwave - in spite of this, she made it fun and engaging for everyone! It was super informative on Singaporean cuisine and culture, as well as what it’s like working in and being an owner in the food industry. Thanks again for an amazing experience! (and sorry we only took awful photos lol)“

“Chef Lala of Jusla Eats was a joy to work with. She was professional, responsive, and runs an efficient operation. Her food was top notch - I ordered the honey garlic chicken, fried catfish, mac and cheese, greens, yams, banana pudding and peach cobbler for an extended family and friends meal. Everything was cooked to perfection, and seasoned just right. Everyone went back for seconds, and raved about the food. I started recommending her to my friends before I even left the reception!“

“Alfajores! These are delicious and great with tea. They have a nice variety of alfajores but other cookies as well. The young gentlemen that helped me was very kind. A bit tricky to find and get into the location, but appreciate the safety precautions.“

“I used Burke and Black for a 500+ person gala event and they did a beyond amazing job! The charcuterie, cheese, and dessert layout was elevated, pristine, and attractive. Nicole and her team are so easy to work with - they are passionate professionals who know exactly what they're doing. Highly recommend them to anyone whose planning a big event (or even a small party) and needs some charcuterie magic.“

“Donna provided a perfect meal for 40 guests to celebrate a wedding. Her food was served warm, portions were perfect for everyone. Her food recommendations were appreciated and enjoyed by all. Food arrived on time. Her assistance with serving addressing questions about food selection was appreciated. Her clean up after the meal was quiet and unobtrusive allowing the celebration to continue without interruption. I would definitely use her kitchen again“

“We could not have asked for a better experience, or better food. Their food is absolutely amazing, and their service was exceptional. The scheduling / office staff were so helpful, kind, and patient. Our wedding was two years ago and we still reminisce about how smooth everything went.On our wedding day, my wife and I only had the opportunity to eat so much, as there was a lot going on. I reached out to Above and Beyond to see if I might be able to surprise my wife on our anniversary with the meal we ate on our wedding night. They went all out and made this such a special surprise! I can’t explain how nostalgic it was for us to be able to eat that meal again (very seriously, their beef tips marsala is to die for). They even wrote us a card wishing us a happy anniversary and gave us some cookies for dessert that our children promptly stole from us.Again, we could not have asked for anything better. We are so grateful for Above and Beyond!“

“Hi all - I had the opportunity to work with Susan Timney, owner, who was just fabulous in helping me with a wonderful menu for our annual holiday lunch at the office. Alas, I was vetoed by the holiday planning committee at large. I have heard terrific things about the quality of her food.“

“Definitely the best Indian food in all of the Bay. It's mostly a to go place, but there is some seating including a nice outside patio area. If you come on a Saturday, it's next to all the galleries so view art and eat well. It shares the location with a wonderful Jamaican chef. Try the stuff naan, best daal takika imaginable (made fresh to order) and the Rogan lamb. This will become your favorite Indian restaurant.“

“Walked down to this little spot from our hotel feeling hungry and Mama T delivered. The Famous Fish Sandwich (pictured) is easily my new favorite fish sandwich. My boyfriend got the Famous Chicken and we just can’t decide which is better. Will be returning next time we are in town!“

“We booked our event with Fork & Spoon at a relatively late date so there was a bit of urgency, and they were fantastic. Super nice, responsive, and easy to work with. The food was delicious and the service they provided was stellar. Highly recommended!“

“We use BoxiChef Catering for our weekly employee lunches and we love the meals!The delivery staff is on time and friendly. The portion sizes are generous and lots of variety on mains and sides. If you are looking for weekly corporate catering, I recommend BoxiChef highly!! Connie Carvalho, Perforce site-lead Alameda, CA“

“This is a family owned business. So again. I love to support family businesses. I usually should get the premade breakfast burritos. The staff is very friendly. They do get busy, so you just need to be patient. Overall it's a nice ambiance. And their pastries are so good. If you ever the area give them a try and you won't be disappointed.“

“Have everything I love all year. First time here, don't know why I never knew about this spot when my 13 year old went with her dad last year lol. Coming back. Everything was good from mild link corn dog, bacon funnel cake, churro parfait, fried oreos, pineapple sausage corn dog, popcorn, dipped strawberries, strawberry cheesecake caramel apple. We enjoyed trying it all. Highly recommend. ??“

“Very attentive, fast, and kind service for Korean catering! The best part of this place includes the level of ease and efficiency they provide in getting your order, payment, and pickup situated properly. The food is pretty good (I had it a little cold/late) and I recommend it for people looking for a place thats reliable and can make your needs more fitted!“

“GGC recently catered two events for me. One with 150 guests and one with 410 guests. Both events were perfect! Everyone was blown away by the food and left full and happy. Leading up to the event, the staff was super quick to respond, very accommodating and a delight to work with. I will be using them again in the future for sure. Shout out to Kelly and Amanda for all their support!“

“Staying in Chinatown, it was harder to find a vegetarian breakfast/brunch nearby than I expected. K Five Fifty is an unassuming counter in the expansive lobby of 550 Kearny. Turns out it's a full kitchen with a chef cooking to order, although some items are packaged for grab and go. The menu is brief but flexible. I had the avocado toast. It includes poached eggs, but he was happy to scramble them for me. I'm guessing you can make this vegan by swapping the eggs for one of the sides. Friendly proprietor, great service, and excellent value. All the ingredients were fresh and the toast was an excellent crispy whole grain sour dough that held up to the thick avocado. As far as ambiance, I was content to chill out and read to the sound of the chef chopping his mis en place and the muted lobby muzak.“

“I have used Ann’s catering twice in the last 18 months. They never disappoint. They are priced right and offer a terrific selection. The food tastes wonderful and is artfully displayed. Thank you for making my daughter in laws baby shower memorable“

“The best pasta in the bay area made there right in front of you. Atmosphere is only 4 stars just because seating is limited to 6 seats. You can also buy pastas and sauces to go.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a counter that is wheelchair accessible.“

“Brian Catered a luncheon I had for the Oakland women’s rowing club. Serving 36 women, six of them being vegan, he crafter the absolute Perfect menu. Ceviche, sliders, a berry salad, mushroom empanadas as well as pulled pork, shrimp skewers, and a beautiful vegetable medley. Casual, yet elegantly displayed, the flavor of each dish was outstanding. I can hardly wait for his Montclair location to open. I couldn’t recommend Cafe 15 more adamantly.“

“I completely enjoyed the meal I had here recently.All of the food was delicious, the young man who was our waiter was incredibly attentive.The restaurant was empty other than our group of three, but we could see the kitchen was quite busy with takeout orders - it was a very rainy night.We each ordered an entree and only one appetizer and had food leftover.They brought us a complimentary gulab jamun, which I never order as I’ve rarely enjoyed it, but I was quite grateful as it was soooo delicious- rarely is that dessert served warm. What a treat!I’m glad it’s my local, I look forward to my next visit.Dietary restrictions: My friend dining with us is very spice sensitive. She expressed her concerns before ordering and was very happy with her meal.“

“Had the bbq sub and what I can say is that was the best sandwich I have had in a long time. Service was excellent and the whole place was extremely clean. I really recommend coming here because all I can say is that I will definitely be coming back here.“

“Wow, what a wonderful night! We had a party for my husband's birthday last night at the Oakland location of Kitchen on Fire, and it was perfection from start to finish. The booking was easy and the communication between booking and the event was perfect. I went early to take some wine and decorations and they were there 2 hours before to meet and greet me.Once the party started, we were given some cheese and cold cuts to take the edge off the hunger while we were prepping. Chef Anthony was superb. He was flexible to how we conducted the event, letting us do as much as possible on our own, while imparting his extensive experience to make us better cooks! We came away with many little tips and tricks to make cooking at home easier, safer and more fun.We chose to make 4 small plates which were Asian themed. We make Thai larb, Fresh Spring Rolls, Fried rice with Shrimp, and Chicken pot stickers. All the ingredients were set out on the work tables and we broke into groups to do the final chopping and prep with Chef hopping from group to group to make sure we didn't goof anything up. Finally time to go to the "fire" to make perfect browned but tender pot stickers, spicy and flavorful larb, and tasty fresh fried rice. We ate the dishes as we cooked and it was plenty of food to satisfy us all.We brought our own beer/wine, but quickly realized we needed all our senses to do the "work" and not cut off any fingers! I cannot say enough about what an enjoyable and fun evening this was for all the guests and my husband on his special birthday. I highly recommend this venue for your next event or party - you will have a great time while learning some new cooking skills!“

“Lola's catered our birthday party this weekend. Easy to work with, flexible, on time and everything delivered with style. They also helped us out by supplying G, an outstanding bartender. Loved the chef, great guy. Our only regret was that we are so busy partying our guests ate all the paella. Hearing this, they offered to give us additional paella at the Kensington Farmers market the next day. Highly appreciate that touch.“

“La Mediterranee in San Francisco is a true taste of the Mediterranean. From the cozy atmosphere to the delicious dishes, it's a spot I can't wait to return to. Make sure to try their Mediterranean breakfast—it's a delightful way to start your day. Highly recommended for anyone seeking Mediterranean foods in the city.“

“Jasmine Catering run by Chef Oded Hilu was amazing throughout our wedding planning process and even better on the day of. We got married at the Brazil Room, where Jasmine Catering is a preferred catering vendor for the venue. We did a taste testing with Oded about a year prior to the wedding. He made the tasting experience super personable and comfortable for my husband and I.As we planned the wedding, we had many questions about the day of and he was super fast and responsive up until the very end. He helped us choose the right menu for our guests. He helped us with table and chair set up.On the day of— his team was amazing! They were fast and efficient in setting everything up. They don’t have much time to set up and I was nervous hoping it would all be set up in time. But his team did it and they were very professional and helpful to our coordinator and her team.During the wedding, the staff was awesome. They were attentive, quick, and respectful to our guests. They made sure champagne and wine glasses were full all night. They made sure to use our bar decor and kept our guests happy with the bar all night. The food was amazing! Our guests are still talking about the amazing food especially the salad. lol!! I think about that balsamic dressing all the time. Haha.Oded, thank you for your hard work you contributed to our special day. We cannot thank you enough for all you and your team did for us. THANK YOU. And I highly recommend hiring Jasmine Catering!!(Still waiting on photos from our photographer so don’t have much)“

“@ the Barbara lady - do you think the other vendors you mentioned don't use can beans - com'on get a grip! $15 is nothing compared to the great taste, customer service and the quality.The Burritos are delicious - Super Burrito's (2 meals in one) they are not street tacos by any stretch. Leave it to people like you who try to hurt small businesses with your negative vibes. We wish you well!“

“We came here for breakfast and had a fantastic meal. We ordered the buttermilk pancakes, New York everything bagel platter, potato pancakes, banana rum soufflé pancakes, and 2 sunny side up eggs with home fries and chorizo. We really enjoyed the banana rum soufflé pancakes, and the buttermilk pancakes are the best pancakes we’ve ever had, as they’re so thick, light, and fluffy. We will definitely come back again when we’re back in Berkeley!“

“I used to work at the Hunters Point Brewery when I first learned of Vasquez Coffee and I fell in love! The coffee was so delicious I could drink it black. I was even more thrilled to find out that the roaster is a Latina woman from the Mission. Now we are partnering and serving her amazing coffee in our new cafe - One Love!“

“Well , to start off I do believe I was the first of the day, so you guys really need to clean the grill a lot better !!! the meat tastes burnt!!! other than that the flavors were there , the pickle the lettuce, yogurt sauce, the dill. The pitas were perfect 10 outta 10 . WAYY SMALL PORTIONS!!! S SIGN OF THE TIMES I GUESS...“

“I was lucky enough to find Pacific Fine Food in time to hire them for a community Tiki party. Erin was warm and very professional. We were able to schedule a tasting to make sure we knew exactly what we would be serving. The food was delivered to the event, and it was a hit! I am just about to write Erin for a work function coming up. Looking forward to with Pacific Fine Food again!! Thank you, Erin and team!!“

“After meeting the staff and doing a tasting with Chef Dov, we knew instantly that California Rose was the way to go for our wedding! Chef Dov was flexible with our food preferences and helped us create a delicious menu for our wedding of 110 at Deer Park Villa. Jenn was very helpful throughout our wedding planning process as well. The team helped us transform our dinner reception into a romantic, beautiful atmosphere. The guests loved his food and mini desserts! Thank you California Rose team for making our big day so special!“
