The Beli Deli took care of our catering for our Russian/ Jewish wedding. From the moment we went for a tasting in their commercial kitchen we were hooked on the quality and freshness of these foods. Luckily, my Russian speaking MIL was able to coordinate a lot of the details with this vendor. It would have been difficult to manage with the language barrier otherwise. We were delighted with the final result and the caterer was all inclusive which kept our cost low during historical inflation. They brought and setup all of our tables, flatware, table settings and food. It turned out really beautiful and we're so grateful that they took great care of all our wedding guests. I highly recommend if you are looking to host your event Russian style!

Incredible taste! Beautiful presentation! Easy communication and coordination! Beli Deli via Zhana and her team catered my wedding and day 2 post-wedding celebration with exquisite taste, style, and care. When we were thinking about wedding catering for our San Francisco wedding, we immediately knew we wanted Beli Deli. Known for their flawless catering throughout the community, we sought out Zhana for her food's taste, guaranteed quality, and presentation. Working through the logistics of catering a cocktail hour, multi-course reception and then a second day celebration were a breeze. They presented us with multiple options to meet every taste and food preference and were accommodating when we wanted changes. One thing that stood out, was their willingness to accommodate requests. Although our catering was not kosher, we had a few gusts who required kosher meals. Utilizing their vast network of contacts, they were able to deliver timely, warm, and flavorful kosher dishes that met our guest's needs. We were so worried about this but Zhana and her team had a plan for everything. The food itself was amazing! The menu was varied. Cocktail hour included various flakey pirozhki, duck breast, sushi, salmon, and more. The dinner included cold appetizers (with an assortment of smoked fish, decadent pate, flavorful eggplant), hot appetizers (moist meat blintzes, delicious sturgeon), entrees (variety of meats including lamb, chicken kabobs, grilled vegetables) and more! The desert spread was also breath taking with a surprise fruit sculpture and a multitude of pastries. The actual amount of food itself was nothing short of a cornucopia! The team was also very thoughtful. The staff brought food in so elegantly, never interfering with people. Zhana herself came to our wedding to ensure everything was going according to plan. She prepared meals for our vendors and frequently encouraged us to eat between being busy meeting everyone. Set-up and take-down was quick and efficient! Payment was a breeze! For day 2 catering, the same concepts were true. They were punctual with incredible food. The mushroom soup was on a cold December day was a hit! Zhana's team took care of everything including set up and clean up. They were so prepared - when we ran out of plastic table settings that I purchased, they had extras! Talk about going the extra mile! Additionally, the venue didn't allow for traditional heating sources, Beli Deli thought of everything and got creating with innovative ways to warm the food and keep it fresh! If you want amazing food that tastes superb and is always fresh, hire Beli Deli.

Beli-Deli is our go-to catering company in the Bay Area. We use them for birthdays and also used them for our daughters wedding. Always happy with the consistently delicious Russian/Caucus region food and generous quantities!

Beli-Deli Gourmet Catering has done an incredible job! I would recommend them highly! We had my wife's birthday party for over 50 people last year and everyone is still talking about it! The food was delicious, and the staff very professional and friendly. Everything was perfect, from the furniture to the last piece of birthday cake. Thank you, guys!

We are so happy we chose Beli Deli to cater my birthday brunch for 45 people. The complements came fast and furious--everyone was positively "wowed" by the food, the variety, the seamless delivery of dishes. The staff were clearly attentive and caring, really wanting the party to go smoothly. For the first time hosting a party, after they set up, I never thought again about what was happening in the kitchen. They stayed until the place was totally clean--what a relief not to have to start washing dishes after guests left! One of my guests said he wished he had known about them for his next party (especially since he had wanted to taste a caterer's food before ordering, which Eugenia does), and several took Beli Deli's cards for future reference. I had a certain theme in mind for the food, and probably only Beli Deli could have come through with that. I also loved that I was able to encourage selected guests to take some of the food they particularly enjoyed home, since the portions were so generous. Beli Deli's five star rating is well-deserved, and I would definitely use them again when the next big occasion arises!

Beli Deli was easy to work with, the food was delicious, the service was impeccable and we were really happy. Had them cater a smallish birthday party. The staff was on time, courteous and very very neat. They set up the tables and decorated with small lovely details so the drab community room looked very festive by the time the guests arrived. The food was phenomenal and they even brought a few extra dishes we didn't ask for but suited the theme perfectly. Everyone raved about it. The hot items were hot and freshly cooked. They weren't cheap: in fact, much more expensive than the other quotes I got. But they did all the set up, serving and clean up (2 very energetic ladies for a party of ~25) and since this was a very special occasion, they were worth the price.

Beli Deli catered my 40th birthday party. The food was AMAZING! The waiters were hard working, on time, organized, knowledgeable, cleaned up everything and took such good care of my guests. The food was incredibly delicious. Everyone raved about the food and the presentation was gorgeous!

All I can say is fantastic! Beli Deli catered my parents 50 Wedding Anniversary and it couldn't have went any better! This is the first time we used them, but they came highly recommended, so we took a chance. We met Zhanna at their place of business for a tasting and my mom ( who is pretty picky) said that the food tasted like home made - score one. We had excellent communication with her staff before the event regarding insurances, last minute changes...etc - score two. Her event team came on time and quickly organized everything, even though our venue did not have the easiest lay out for serving - score three. The food was beautifully laid out ( see pic) and the taste was amazing. We had multiple people saying that this is the best they had and wanted contact for future use. Service was also impeccable and clean up a breeze! BTW - Zhanna also recommended a bakery out of LA for cake, which was unbelievable! And did not even charge a delivery fee (see pic). I was told, that they were THE BEST and I couldn't agree more. We have another big jubilee next year and I will be calling!

This is my go to catering company for all occasions. Before I found them I have worked with several catering services which I did not like much so I definitely recommend Beli Deli Catering for your next event.
Beli Deli Catering is great! I called about ten different caterers and bakeries looking for whole quiches last-minute and this place came through for me on very short notice. Delicious quiches, great service. Thank you Beli Deli!
Kadie J.
I had the best experience using Beli Deli. The service was impeccable and the food was AMAZING! Mike really worked with me to make sure everything was within my budget and was able to understand how I wanted to present the food for the guests. I had multiple people asking who was my caterers and can't wait to use them again!
Larisa V.
My husband and I used Beli Deli for our wedding and we were beyond happy. All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was. Mike and Zhanna are amazing and the service at the wedding was absolutely flawless! I am beyond grateful and cannot say enough good things to everyone i talk to. From sitting down to create menus to working through rentals and linens, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Every dish was perfect, the set up was perfect and the waitstaff was amazing! They went above and beyond to make my day perfect and i cannot wait to work with them again for future parties and events!
Rosa H.
Such a quick and reliable catering company. We've used them for multiple events in the past including two weddings and a formal Gala. The food is cooked to perfection and very tasty especially when you take the price into account. Never had any communication or schedule issues either. Highly recommended.

Beli Deli catered my wedding and I could not have asked for an easier or more delicious experience! Mike set up an elaborate food tasting for us (on a Saturday!), patiently walked us through many different menu iterations and put up with our ever-changing head count. Our wedding venue was rather unconventional (a WWII liberty ship) so Beli Deli had to navigate a very unusual setup, including lifting everything from the dock to the ship by crane! But everything went off smoothly and on time, and everyone maintained a very positive attitude. We decided on a buffet, which our guests loved - the crabcakes, in particular, were a huge hit. Beli Deli also labeled all the vegetarian dishes, which was very appreciated. Also, they gave us WAY too much food - far more than we paid for! And, for an additional touch, after the wedding they agreed to let us drop off the leftover equipment in person and waive the delivery fee. I highly recommend Beli Deli for catering any large event, no matter where you're located or what the venue.
