Do Not Use For Catering Services Ever!!!
I used this place to caterer my milestone birthday in October 2025. The guest list consisted of 130 people. I reached out to them after a recommendation from my cousin. After a few months of us going back and forth through text. We finally decided on a menu for the party. I went to meet the chef so that I could pay the deposit.
After payment there was a small change from the original order. I reached out to the chef with reminders about the change. Each time he confirmed. A couple of days before the event I paid the remaining balance per the contract. On hindsight that was a bad decision. Because now
he had all the money for the food and he could send what he wanted at this point.
Day of the event. What I ordered was not what was delivered. I received curry and stewed chicken with so much gravy but not enough meat in the pan. I received one pan of cabbage, one small pan of plantains. Along with mini chicken and beef patties. For the beef patties I was sent large beef patties cut up into 4 pieces. Huh? This change was never confirmed by me. The small change to the order never showed up. I called the chef spoke to him about the missing item. He said he would send it but it never came.
There was not enough food for my guests and all 130 people did not show up. We had to make do
with what we had. So embarrassing on my big day!! It was so late in the day that I couldn’t make other arrangements with the local vendors for additional food options.
I sent the chef a text regarding my concerns and order mishaps. He never responded or followed up about the food or delivery service. For the amount of money that I paid for food I would NEVER recommend this restaurant establishment for catering EVER. The customer service is awful
and poor communication skills.

The portion was very small, I asked to substitute the rice and beans and asked for Mac and cheese instead, the gentleman acted like it was against the law to do so, with that being said, NEVER WILL I EVER SUPPORT THIS CHEAP ESTABLISHMENT
THEY OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES RIP OFF IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD
