50 Best Caterers near Encino

“The food is so good! And they have curbside pickup on Fridays!“

“Contemporary Catering is incredible. Period. Hire them. It will be the best decision you make. It certainly was ours. My (now) wife and I spent over a year planning our wedding weekend and Rob, Rachel, and, of course, Chef Nate, were there for us every step of the way. First, the food: It is 5-stars, no joke. I am a “foodie” and a bit of a self-admitted food snob. Honestly, I would drive an hour daily to Encino to eat in their test kitchen 7 days a week if they would let me. Even now, three weeks after our wedding, our guests continue to rave to me about the food (pro tip: you NEED to serve the mini chicken and waffles appetizer). Trust me when I tell you that their execution was flawless and the quality was exquisite. Second, the people: You will not find a more invested, passionate, and sincere team of individuals who love what they do and are so good at it. They are unbelievably responsive, overly generous with their time, extremely attentive to detail and endlessly patient. Without a doubt, we can say that thanks to Contemporary our wedding day was perfect and we are so grateful to everyone on the team. Rob and his team provided so much more value than I ever thought possible. We will ALWAYS refer Contemporary to our friends, families, and loved ones in need of wedding catering and, personally, we can’t wait to work with them again to cater other events in our future! Thank you, yet again, Rob, Rachel, and Chef Nate!“

The food was also delicious and verryyy full portions (there’s no way you won’t be full at the end). His energy was great and if I ever have my own hibachi I will definitely hire him!“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“INCREDIBLE!! We called on Lady & Larder to help us with a charcuterie “flat lay” for our Spring Fling party of 100 people and they 💯 surpassed our expectations!! We knew nothing about this vendor other than the outstanding reviews we read. The sweetest gentleman showed up at the house early, prepared and got busy right away setting up on the 7’ long dining table. He brought beautiful wood crates to create multiple levels of assorted cheeses & meats, hummus & crudités, nuts & beautifully sliced fruits, multiple types of small crackers & breads… even supplied small jars of honey & dippers as well as small jars of spicy mustards. Gorgeous Protea flowers were carefully placed for the finishing touches. One hour after he arrived… we were blown away with the end result!! Our guests were impressed!! Thank you very much for helping us make Spring Fling 2026 a total success!! See you next year ✨“

“They have the best food ever I could eat this every day the nicest staff clean never had a bad meal here“

“Food is all delicious and service was very attentive. Sadly, no parking and they closed, with no notice, for a few days, in November. No holiday. Weekday/night. But, we’ll keep going, because the food is that good. Our favorite is the chicken masala.“

“Las conchitas de Taro son deliciosas y Araceli me atendio miy bien“

“I was not expecting the level of service I received from Pronto Hookah. I expected to just get a bunch of equipment and staff that only moved when you forced them to, but these guys were legit. Always attending every table and making sure everything is okay. Supreme service and will be booking with them again.

I had doubts about hookah catering because I didn't think it was worth it but this changed my mind, didn't have to deal with any cleaning or setup headaches, it was all taken care of.“

“Wow! What a show stopper! Nikita you hit it out of the park with your 7 feet of deliciousness!! It was almost too beautiful to eat, but we did😘. Thank you! If you need a grazing charcuterie spread that’s sure to impress, call Italian Soul Catering!!“

“Balabuste catered my wedding almost 8 years ago and people still talk about how amazing the food was!!“

“Corban Catering was incredible for my husband’s milestone birthday party. We ordered a variety of hors d’oeuvres and finger foods, and everything was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Communication was flawless, pricing was very fair, and the table setup elevated the whole event. Our guests raved, and we as hosts were thrilled. We’ll definitely be working with Corban Catering again for future parties and events.“

“We would highly recommend Mani Catering for any event. They went above and beyond to make our daughter’s wedding day perfect, and received countless compliments on the food and service.“

“it was exactly what we were looking for and definitely will be back! Delicious fresh thoughtful food, something for everyone. As a vegetarian I was delighted at the options. I had the roasted cauliflower and yam salad and it was scrumptious. Not to mention they have outdoor seating in the shade which is lovely and they welcomed my doggies with a bowl of water and chunks of chicken! thanks!“

“I recommend the Bbq chicken, Rack of Ribs and Brisket overall everything I ordered was delicious.“

“The most AMAZING experience and the most beautiful venue in LA!!! I recently had my wedding here on May 24, 2026. From the beginning, Yervand and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. The food, service, venue, and environment was perfect and our guests can't stop talking about how beautiful everything was! They truly went above and beyond to make sure our special day was memorable and unique. The service exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have imagined better treatment. Our guests kept mentioning how tasty the food was and how much they were eating all night! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a special and memorable wedding day! Thank you all for making our day truly unforgettable!!!!!“

“So friendly! The first time I went in, I was offered samples of so many different dishes. Everything was delicious and one in particular I hadn’t tasted in so many years, it made me nostalgic for my mom’s cooking and brought tears to my eyes! Home made tasting food obviously prepared with love.“

“Great food. Reminds me of my mom’s cooking.. I love to come to MOFONGOS on my birthday to get Pasteles, Arroz con Gandules and Habichuelas Rojas. Just like my mom would serve me on my birthday.“

“I’m so grateful that these guys were the caterers for a commercial shoot a couple of days ago. Their Life Rice breakfast was so delicious and nutritious, not always the case with healthy, gluten free options. The seared ahi for lunch was perfect! Bonus - all three of the men were very nice and accommodating. Thank you!“

“LOVE Shemtov catering. Mr. Soroush Shemtoub is always generous with his portions, uses high quality ingredient, great presentation, and the quality of the food is always the best. Most importantly his food is FRESH and tasteful! He is truly the best quality glatt kosher catering company in Los Angeles. Highly highly recommend him to anyone looking for good quality food. I’ve had both his kabab and persian food for catering and am always impressed. Always fresh and tastes delicious!!!“

“Ще дойда някой ден“

“The flavor of the tacos is good, compared to other taquerias in this area, except that they are tacos with a single tortilla, and in general I like that they serve two tortillas. In general, customer service is not very friendly. They are only involved in their work and don't take the time to say hello or say thank you for the purchase.“

“Awesome food and the service was an 11 will be back soon thanks“

“We have been working with Haute Chefs LA for at least 9 years!
Haute Chefs are always the first on my list when I have to cater a dinner or event.

Their prices are incredibly reasonable for everything you get, but lets be honest, we're here to talk about their food. Their food is always delicious and portions VERY generous. Their presentation is also something you can't forget about, we eat with our eyes first.

They have also become very conscientious of people's dietary needs over the years that I never have trouble finding gluten-free or vegan options on their menu for those with dietary restrictions.

I was going to list some of my personal favorites, but then the list got very long. However, you can't go wrong with their roasted cauliflower, steak & shrimp. Their charcuterie & cheese board is also very beautiful and delicious with the freshest in-season fruits. Their menu has something for everyone, and they are willing to take any other adjustment should you need them for one reason or another.

Definitely worth having them cater your next event/dinner, etc.“

“My wedding was about two months ago at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, and David and his team were beyond incredible! From our very first meeting, he was welcoming and attentive. The food tasting was such a lovely experience, and he thoughtfully applied every single note we shared.

The ingredients were fresh, the service was top-notch, and his staff was both professional and friendly. Beyond catering, David truly cared for the entire flow of the venue—his experience in the wedding industry really shined, especially since many of my other vendors were beginners.

During the reception, he was constantly walking around, checking in, and making sure every table was taken care of. That level of attention gave me so much peace of mind on such an important day.

I would 100% recommend David to anyone planning a wedding or event, and I would absolutely love the opportunity for him to cater another event of ours in the future!“

“Everything great Always great food and service“
