Paheli catered our wedding and they were fantastic from start to finish. We did a tasting beforehand and every dish was amazing, which made choosing the menu easy. They catered to us, encouraged a larger group for the tasting, and were incredibly helpful through the whole decision process. Our guests are still talking about the food, highly recommend Paheli for any event or just to stop by for a meal!

As mentioned in several other reviews, the kitchen is quite slow. We were already in the middle of our entrées and were still waiting for our drinks.

Overall, the experience was just okay,...
