10 Best Caterers in Richmond

“What a hidden gem! I stopped by this little strip mall spot in Pinole not expecting much—and ended up having one of the best falafel and chicken plates I’ve had in a while.

The falafel? Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and clearly just made. None of that dry hockey puck nonsense. And the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection—not the sad, dry chunks you sometimes get at these places.

Portion size was just right—enough to fill me up without needing a nap afterward. And the price? Let’s just say my wallet didn’t cry.

The staff was super friendly, too. You can tell they care about the food they’re putting out. If you’re in the area and craving something fresh, hearty, and delicious, don’t sleep on this spot. Strip mall or not, this place delivers.“

“Just had my daughter's first birthday and our dishes were a hit. Chef Henry was great at communicating from start to finish and i can't wait to try more of his menu items in the future. We had 50+ guests and there was plenty of food to go around with leftovers at the end which is always an added bonus. The variety of apps, entrees, and desserts available blew me away and eventually I settled on a mix of veggie and meat dishes for the party. My favorite dishes were the brisket sliders and the garlic noodles. I ate everything so it was hard to pick a favorite. My guests were pleased with the selection and it made for a perfect birthday celebration. I want to plan another event soon just so I can try more of Henry's creations! Highly recommend especially for large group events.“

“absolutely the best tamales I have ever had at a restaurant. I'd swear they were home made if I hadn't ordered them myself... super find!!! I'll never order from anywhere else again.“

“I was in the Richmond area and I didn’t want any fast food. So I googled soul food/caterers near me and Soulfully Dope Kitchen pops up. From the moment I spoke to Chef Brittni I knew I wanted to make an order. She was very courteous, professional and let me tell you she didn’t disappoint when it came to the food. It was pipping hot, fresh and everything that I was looking for. I got the loaded baked potato, chicken Alfredo pasta an order of peach bombs (peach cobbler egg rolls) and special blueberry lemonade. I will be back and back with friends!“

“I had the Mexican Street Corn, added some Beyond Burger, it was so good that I couldn't stop eating it. Luckily, with a LOT of will power I put it up for later (maybe breakfast!)... looked to see about ordering some for my freezer! Highly recommend this dish!!“

“Simurg Bakery provides great baklava to the ones missing a professional taste in USA. Go for it!“

“DAMN GOOD MEXICAN FOOD! I don't care what anyone says in the reviews, anyone giving this place less than a 4.5 does not know what they are talking about. This place is literally one of the only good places to eat authentic Mexican food. Their regular burritos are 10.95 and they are literally the size of other restaurants that charge you 13$ for "super" burrito and them shi be nasty. Bomb ahh asada fries, the guacamole is so good, it has a perfect mix of lime, pepper, salt and avocado. The tacos taste the same as the ones do in mexico, you want authentic? This place has tacos that are literally the same thing that they sell in Mexico, literally where tacos come from! (Specifically the ones from guadalajara, those are the ones it reminds me of). Burritos are fantastic. The asada is the best from every other taco place. If you want to find a better place you have to drive at least 30 more minutes south/southwest. This is an honest review by a real Mexican, not a gringo that only knows shell tacos and chimichangas.“
