“I already worked in this place, very clean and delicious airline food. I wanted to go back to work, I was on trial for two days, unfortunately, they don't see the way to work but rather they take the personal appreciation of the supervisor and if she doesn't like you, they won't accept you.“

“Love, Love this place! Amazing catering. My first time experience and the best customer service was with Joana and the food amazing. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Really good chicken tikka masala, I asked for naan, he said they didn't have it but they had roti??? I think that's the name. I said ok sure.
It is thinner than naan but really good. Great customer service. There is no dine in at all, only take out. Inside is ok, not much going on.
Will come back & will remember to ask to make it spicier. I didn't know you could choose the level of spicy.“

“We utilized Tasty Catering for our daughters first birthday party, and highly recommend them. From the very beginning they were responsive, collaborative and helpful answering any questions, and helped us build the perfect menu. Delivery and setup went perfectly and was no hassle for us. I look forward to using them again! And the food was a hit!“

“Very tasty, very good!“

“We could not have been happier with our experience with Catered by Design! Rachel is so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable not just with catering, but so much more! From the initial quote, to the tasting, to the day of, she had the answers to all of our questions and was always thinking ahead. We could not have done it without her! We had such an emphasis on food for our big day and CBD really delivered. Everything tasted amazing and service was seamless. We're still getting compliments on the food months later. For the amount of food (family-style) and the quality, pricing was fantastic as well. We would highly recommend CBD to anyone for their wedding day!“

“If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding or event BOOK THEM!! The food was delicioussss! We received so many compliments from guests saying it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Meghann was extremely helpful & accommodating during the planning process. Anything I needed she made sure it was taken care of. Our day of coordinator Luis was awesome as well as all of the staff there. Everyone was super friendly and always on top of everything. Immediately after the ceremony was over we had a drink in hand and apps in our bridal suite for us. We were blown away by the food and everything from start to finish. We hope to have an event in the future to use them and have their delicious food again!“

“Hats off to Michelle and her entire group for the beautiful rehearsal dinner she helped me put together a few weeks ago. Besides her precise attention to detail, she put together the absolute best team to serve our guests.“

Also thank you to Mario from Goebbarts farms for serenading me with live music while I waited!!“

“We had a party at our home in June 2025 and catered from Spiced Caterers. The experience was outstanding from start to finish. We ordered a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes including Chicken Bhuna, Mutton Pepper Masala, Chicken Peralan, Malai Kofta, Kadai Paneer, and Paneer Matar. Every single dish was flavorful, fresh, and prepared in generous portions that our guests thoroughly enjoyed.

Tina, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her professionalism and warm service made the whole process seamless. The delivery was right on time and absolutely flawless, which gave us peace of mind on a busy day.

I highly recommend Spiced Caterers for anyone looking for authentic, delicious food with exceptional service. We will definitely be ordering again for our future events!“

“Excellent service & delicious food!! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch today at Toyoda America's! Thank you Schaul's!“

“Inspired Catering and Events catered our wedding at the Columbus Park Refectory a couple of weeks ago and we’re still incredibly blown away by Liz and her team. From the start, Liz stood out as incredibly receptive and accommodating. This continued throughout the process and culminated in their incredible service on our big day. We truly could not have pulled off our wedding day without her expertise and dedicated work ethic— even more so when we pushed up our wedding by almost a year. Thanks to Liz and her incredible staff, we had the day we had always imagined, put together in two months. We were even able to salvage our outdoor ceremony after an unseasonable cold snap, thanks to an eleventh hour heater acquisition. Our intimate group thoroughly enjoyed their meals and everyone was well taken care of, including two vegans in a crowd of meat-lovers. Inspired’s quinoa enchiladas will forever change how my husband and I see quinoa— it was that good. However, we’re still dreaming about the short rib and potato au gratin we had on our wedding night. That alone should be all the convincing you need to hire them for your next event. Truly, none of us have never been to a wedding where we loved the food so, so much. From two families who love food, thank you.“

“I came across their food at a Regus event in Hoffman estates. The little baguette sandwiches were phenomenal! The turkey and brie one in particular was so good. Shamefully, I ate three of them. Presentation was good. Everyone liked them. My only suggestion would be some kind of toothpick labels or something, so I knew what I was eating ahead of time, but no big deal - everything was delicious.“

“If we could give more than 5 stars we would. I've been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years. I was super nervous about handing the whole day to someone else on such an important day. Every single detail was handled perfectly. From the ceremony set up, the dinner, service, the bar. Paul and Angie are amazing and so easy to work with. The staff they brought were just as wonderful. Even better... The food was AMAZING!! Ourguests can't stop talking about it, we were so impressed.“

“Nice ice cream shop and a bonus as they have entertainment“

“We had a great experience working with Biagio for our daughter’s quinceañera. Specially with Blanca she is dedicated, honest and always willing to go the extra mile for us. The appetizers, diner, deserts, gelato cart, hot dog cart, delicious! We had all great reviews from our guests. We were able to have an outside organizer decorate the hall for us and they worked very well together which made it possible for us to relax and enjoy the process. All of the vendors were able to communicate effectively with Blanca which helped to make the night very special for our daughter. Unforgettable memories were made that night and we have nothing but gratitude with Blanca and her team at the Biagio. 👏🏼“

“Once again Tommy knocked it out of the park. Beef and sausage, vodka pasta out of this world. Highly recommend for all you holiday parties.“

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

“Sparvim and the entire Everyday Gourmet team exceeded our every expectation for our October 2020 wedding. We had a 20-person wedding due to the pandemic and really cared about the quality of the food, plus we had vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and meat-eaters alike to please and Sparvim DID IT! Since we had an intimate wedding we really wanted to WOW our families with the food, especially since half of our attendees were used to the often-overlooked vegetarian meal option typically served at weddings. Everyone is still talking about how great the food was. The quality was incredible, the portions were large, and the seasonal touches were just what we wanted. The appetizers were plentiful and were visually stunning. We added an extra course since the meal was the main event for our smaller wedding and I am so glad we did this. Sparvim was very flexible and open to all of our menu ideas. She even created a salad based off of one of our favorite restaurants in California. Sparvim even created a coursed kids menu - she really blew us away from start to finish. She knows her business and was very helpful in making every decision, including the lovely tablescape. Her pricing was competitive and the service was outstanding. Every server was professional and incredibly friendly! The entire team took every precaution regarding Covid which made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Sparvims expertise and personal touches were apparent in every dish, and the incredible presentation and tastiness of every bite made us lifelong customers. We can't wait to hire her again, I couldn't recommend Everyday Gourmet more for a personalized and delicious event experience.“

“Gpay didn't work and I had no physical card. After trying the Gpay several times, I gave up. The manager asked for the drink I was drinking back, lol. I got in the car, saw my wallet in the seat and decided not to go back in. I drove out of my way to try this food, but this experience with being asked for the drink back was shocking. #theapartmentlady“

“Very beautiful place and the food was delicious!“

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies! We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“I just had a dish delivered to me to try out. Wow! This is amazing! Delivered to my home. The staff is so friendly and so informative. Delicious healthy choice Veggie Almondine was the best I have ever had. So convenient too. I can’t wait to try their other dishes. New Year, New Resolutions, healthy choices. Thank you Parkside Meal Prep!!!“

“Love this place! 🍀🍀 Excellent food and great people! ☺️“

“Incredible experience from start to finish. The food was promptly prepared, organized well, and all supplies were provided. The entire event went perfectly and everything tasted amazing. It was a HUGE hit with everyone. Highly recommend FoodBarz and especially Reena for taking care of organizing everything. Simply exceptional! Special "Thank you" to Javier, Martin, and Lucy for preparing and packaging of all the food and supplies. You guys were amazing! Our BEST event thus far.“

“Working with Cucina Paradiso and Twomaytoz Catering for our 50th wedding anniversary was an absolute joy. From clear pricing and quick responses to their professionalism and warm service, everything was handled with such care that we were able to relax and truly enjoy our special day.

The staff were both attentive and easygoing, helping with set-up and managing every detail so the evening flowed beautifully. Cocktail hour and dinner were perfectly timed, and our guests are still raving about the hors d’oeuvres, the elegant presentation, and how delicious the food was.

After 50 years together, this milestone celebration was unforgettable, thanks in large part to Cucina Paradiso and Twomaytoz Catering. We could not recommend them more highly.“
