50 Best Caterers in New York

“Super cute diner vibes with a fantastic vegan menu!
My wife got the TFT which is a delicious tofu sandwich with a coleslaw on top. She gave me a bit and I almost tried to steal the rest.
Reason for 4* instead of 5*: for one, shocked that the sandwich didn’t come with fries or a side. Second, we were going to order a piece of cake or pie for desert until we saw what seemed like very small portions for $15-$17 per slice.
Would absolutely go back again next time we’re in the city.“

“Good food, every things good.“

“I am so happy that they have an SOS menu. It was great to be able to relax and know that the kitchen welcomes my dietary preference. Thank you!

It seems that nearly everything is prepared to order, and as a result if coming here you should be prepared to possibly wait longer than most restaurants for your food to be ready.
I do wish there was a way for the restaurant to communicate this to avoid problems with new customers who may be expecting quicker service.“

“I booked the Naughty Dessert Decorating Class for me and my partner, and I'm so glad I did! The experience itself was fantastic.
Austin hosted the class, he was patient and thorough in explaining the decorating process, and he made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. We had the option to decorate different shaped and flavored cookies, as well as a waffle of our choice. Overall, I highly recommend this class it's perfect for a fun date or a unique activity with friends. We had a blast and will definitely be back!“

“My sister and I went to Urban Vegan Kitchen for the first time this week. We both absolutely loved it. The food, the service, the vibe…all great. I had the “chicken” and waffles and my sister had an empanada and chips, salsa and guacamole. All delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“just ate at the pop up shop and it was delicious and staff was excellent“

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. Bodai in Midtown Manhattan offers a rare and memorable dining experience. The restaurant blends Buddhist philosophy with royal vegetarian cuisine inspired by the Qing Palace. It was my first time trying a full vegetarian tasting menu, and I was impressed by how flavorful and creative every dish was. The mushroom dishes stood out the most, especially the Stichotas japonicus with cucumber sauce, the pan-seared boletus with green millet, and the Nepal mushroom quinoa with pepper sauce. Each course felt balanced and intentional—low oil, low sugar, and focused on natural taste. Even traditional dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and zhajiang noodles were reimagined beautifully. The dessert, called “Nectar of the Core,” was light and refreshing. Dining at Bodai feels like a calm, thoughtful journey through color, texture, and flavor. If you’re looking for an elevated vegetarian meal in NYC, this is worth a visit.“

“We did a party for our daughter’s graduation. The process to arrange was easy and the pricing was fair. Excellent communication. The team arrived on time and the food was really superb. I can’t say enough good things about it. Interesting combinations and the flavors were amazing. So all in all an excellent experience and a very nice person. Will use again!!!“

“Great Experience! We had several meetings/events in NYC and I used Metro Catering. The process was stress free, reasonable prices & delicious food. Gabby Cordero was my main contact and provided me with excellent customer service. I highly recommend this company for all your catering needs.“

“Amazing food and wonderful staff. Very creative presentation and always on time. I always pick them when I need office catering.“

“This review is long overdue. However, we are glad we waited because seven (7) months later, we are STILL getting rave reviews from our friends and families about the food at our wedding! We had a VERY difficult venue that required all of our vendors to submit referrals and agree to a multitude of specific rules. Our original caterer cancelled two (2) months out from our wedding date (after a year of planning). We did not know what to do! They had already been approved and accepted by our venue. We were devastated! KRISP quickly reviewed the menu / pricing we had negotiated and budgeted with that caterer. They were SO reassuring, and offered us MORE options for a lower cost. We could not believe it! After experiencing an incredible tasting at their gorgeous venue, we were SOLD! THE FOOD IS UNREAL, seriously! When we were low on alcohol, they ran to the store to ensure that our guests would not notice any lapse! They even secured and stored our cake topper for months after our wedding! Despite coming on board with less than 2 months to prepare, KRISP navigated a VERY difficult venue, provided incredible service and kept all the stress out of our site! If you don't scoop them up while you can, your event will not be as good as it could have been.“

“From the outside, one might think this a food hall of sorts. Its definitely more of a hub for food delivery services. There were countless pickup orders and, including us, 2 other tables that came to sit and eat. The atmosphere has grande ceilings with floor to ceiling windows with bar seating running along and maybe 8 tables. There are hard-copy menus and touchscreen stations to order but the choices are countless; resulting in a time consuming firt-timer experience. There's 1 kitchen that pumps out separate restaurant menu items. The food was ok. I got a Mexican-style chicken bowl that was crossed with another restaurants curry chicken; bites here and there were different. My husband got an Asian-style chicken fried rice bowl that came out cold. 2nd attempt was saturated in sesame oil and inedible. We didn't realize it at the time but Amex Gold got rid of Goldbelly, replaced by Wonder; big mistake in our opinion as Goldbelly is worldwide and Wonder is limited to big-city access for a lesser quality product.“

“Locale meraviglio! Sentirsi in Italia a NY.“

“Outstanding from start to finish. Alchemiq was exceptional to work with — the food was delicious, the team was professional and punctual, and the bar staff provided excellent service throughout the event. Everything was handled smoothly and to a very high standard.

We were extremely happy with the experience and would highly recommend Alchemiq for corporate events and receptions.“

“I've used Chris now for three events and have nothing but remarkable things to say about the guy. He's easily the single most professional, efficient and all around best caterer/chef I've ever com across. From planning an intimate 20 person get together to a 4 hour, 150 person rooftop carnival, Chris can take a 30 second conversation and turn it into something beyond your wildest dreams. The man is an absolute legend and the only caterer in NYC you need to consider using. He's sharp as a tack and has a staff unlike any other ready and will to help in any and every way necessary.“

“We used Thomas Oliver's Gourmet Catering back in March and I truly do not have one bad thing to say about them. The staff was impeccable and took over a lot of the setup, which was so refreshing. They helped me with tasks that were not even directly related to the catering, and they had a smile on their face the whole time. They had great attitudes and really helped light up the space. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was talked about by the guests all night long. If you have the chance to use them for your next event, please do!“

“I’ve been to a couple cooking classes and it’s absolutely worth it! Each class has taken me back to my childhood and reminded me a some “good times”. I’m so thankful I was able to have the honor to learn from Maria. ❤“

“We recently had Vicky Vij catering the wedding of our daughter. All I have to say is they are exceptional in all ways-- service, food quality and taste, hospitality, price. Vicky went the extra mile to make sure that every thing was perfect. All the quests appreciated and the compliments were endless. I wish Vicky Vij the best and wish that his name is not tarnished by others.“

“I see that your business has some bad reviews, so I can remove them. do you need service dm me“

“The ice cream at Tipsy Scoop is amazing. Great flavors. I bought a flight and got to try 4 flavors all delicious. my favorite was the mango margarita sorbet. I definitely plan to go back.“

“I can't thank Bukhara Grill enough for catering our engagement party! Working with Raja was such a breeze—he made everything so easy and stress-free. Bukhara took care of it all, from the equipment to the wait staff and bartenders, which was such a relief. The food was absolutely delicious, with something for everyone, and our 100 guests were all raving about it!

A special thanks to Kapil and Mahendra, who were amazing at taking care of our guests and ensuring everything ran smoothly. We can’t wait for Raja and his team to cater our wedding events later this year! Highly recommend Bukhara Grill for any special occasion!“

“I got married 3 days ago and all I hear about is how amazing the food at my wedding was!!
Chef David is the sweetest, nicest and most humble man I’ve met! He made my dreams come true with the food at my wedding!
Al I ever wanted was for people to be speechless and to remember the food at my wedding and he went ABOVE AND BEYOND !!!!
I can’t wait for my next celebration so I can have your food again 😃“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“Look no further , they have the best catering in town“

“I love Pi I enjoy getting my Greek frappe and other coffees from Pi. The pastries are exceptional and if you want to have lunch, you can also have fantastic Greek dishes. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the coffees and food that they serve. I go to Pi every time I’m in that neighborhood.“

“great atmosphere and amazing fresh food well prepared with style go for a decadent treat“

“My friend’s wife got Kraves for his 50th birthday party. Holy Shit! I tried everything and it was all amazing! The owner also made my friend a special meal that wasn’t on the menu. That was even better than everything else somehow. I can’t say enough good things about the food and staff. Top notch 10/10“

“I came here on a Saturday morning and it wasn't super busy. I was able to get a quick latte. I tried this nut honey latte and it was delicious. I love that they have non-dairy milk options. My friend got a soup and liked it. This is a good spot for grabbing coffee!“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Maiden Voyage Catering and their staff! They have continuously been instrumental in making our events a success. From beginning to end, their team is attentive, responsive, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. And the food is truly something to write home about!

They make every event feel seamless and stress-free, and we are always confident knowing they are taking care of every detail. We are incredibly grateful for their continued partnership and highly recommend Maiden Voyage Catering to anyone looking for exceptional service and outstanding food.
Thank you Bella, Stefani and staff!!“

“Everything is delicious. What else is there?“

“Delicious pizza and friendly customer service! Open til 4 am“

“I love the people, atmosphere, and selection in Uptaco. The atmosphere is stylish, welcoming, light hearted, clean, and relaxing. Notable mentions: Jay, Donya, Matt, and Derek. I'm sure I'm missing a few key people. Especially the kitchen people who are also great. My favorite things to get are the goddess wrap, Nutella stuffed banana bread, and mango rose refresher. But there are several things I still need to try and do enjoy. The decor is always incredible. They have chess, connect four, cards and other games. So you're welcome to spend some time. They even have books to look at. They sell coffee beans and boxes of tea. They serve pork but take cross contamination very seriously and if you have a specific diet or allergy you're safe here. I love uptaco and I really hope they have a place in harlem for many years to come. They have events too! Today is the spades game night. Love the culture they provide and encourage. Everyone is welcomed and treated with so much respect. Stop by.“

“This place was great. Very keto friendly as they will plate any of their options on greens with garlic aioli. I went with the classic and that bacon was great! Egg came out over medium, so it didn’t drip everywhere but still had goid yolk flavor. Absolutely would go again!“

“Absolutely stunning chocolates, so much taste and flavors in one bite!!!couldn’t get enough of it…“

“Got the lunch special to go. Great affordable healthy options. Tons of fresh food options. I personally order the chicken and got different sides to go with it. The chicken was great and so was the pasta and other sides I got. I highly recommend if you’re in the area looking for high quality food to go.“

“We had an amazing experience with this caterer! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Richard paid incredible attention to every detail, making sure everything was perfect from start to finish. His professionalism, creativity, and care truly stood out and made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. You can tell he takes great pride in his work, and it showed in every aspect of the event. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional food and outstanding service!“

“Wonderful experience. I went with two friends after work, around 9:00pm. The host, bartender and other employees were so friendly and welcoming. The drinks were superb and the food (we only had small bites) was delicious, fresh and flavorful. In addition, the place had a very cozy but stylish atmosphere. Would definitely come back!“

“Super good food! It's definitely worth a stop in New York 🤩🥰 if you are craving for Filipino dishes. Chicken Inasal, BBQ pork, sisig chicken, sisig pork, pansit, pork lechon, and a very delicious kare-kare! Leave room for dessert w/ ube cake and halo-halo. Yes! 🥰 all that!“

“Harlem Sweet Treats is a family run business. Bringing beautiful and delicious treats that you would usually see Downtown, Uptown. The Community has showed us tons of love, and serving them is our pleasure.“

“EXCEPTIONAL Food & Service. Billy and Tom are awesome, friendly and professional. The food is so yummy and I would recommend them to any events that you're having from weddings, going-away parties, birthdays, memorials, etc. Keep up the fantastic work that you're doing.“

“I wish I got pictures of the food but it was devoured too quickly! I had the pleasure of working with Chef Nicola on a recent catering order for a community event. The food was delicious and it was clear that a lot of care was put into the food and presentation. It was also great to support a local woman-owned small business instead of the many generic chains in the area. I highly recommend their services!“

“My wife and I wanted to have a late-night snack for everyone after a night of drinking and dancing, and we couldn’t have been happier to find After Party Food! The entire process was quick and easy as Kurt was responsive with updates to pricing and answering any other questions we had.
The food was hot and fresh, the server was friendly and made sure everyone got what they wanted, and the setup looked amazing. Our guests have been raving about the experience!
We highly recommend After Party Food for any event. They truly helped make our night even more memorable!“

“Amazing food, service. Family owned. Love it here.“

“Had the most delicious lunch today. Everything is so fresh. Amazing choices! My daughter enjoyed as well and wants to hurry back for the smashed avocado toast and an açaí bowl. I brought a hot plate home for dinner, the salmon was superb (brought in fresh!) Highly recommend!!!“

“Kitchen Provance is my go to source for catering. Jenny and her team have always impressed myself as well as my guests. Their food is always fresh and amazing. They are true professionals! We will continue to refer them to our family and friends.“

“I met Sandra at the Asbury Park Vegfest. By the end of day 2 when I went to her booth she was out of collards but she spent 10 minutes explaining to me exactly how to make them her way. Her yams and Mac and Cheese were delicious! She invited me to her Instagram page if I have any more questions! I’m going to ask her how she makes black eyed peas. I love her generosity of spirit!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Vienna Calling did a tremendous job catering my wedding. Our guests commented on how seamless the service was throughout the night, and how delicious and thoughtful the menu was. We were treated with such attentiveness throughout the entire process, from menu planning to tasting to the day of!“

“I had a great conversation with chef Konstantina! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“We could not be more thrilled and satisfied with the beautiful catering that RSVP Events NYC did for our wedding!

The owner, Renee, is a lovely person and is very talented. She is responsive to questions, really listens to what you want and strives to meet your expectations. She is genuinely invested in your event being wonderful.

For our wedding, on an elegant rooftop with an Empire State view, we wanted a menu that merged French food with Jewish food, which was quite specific.

Renee was open to all of our ideas and worked with us on a menu that was exactly what we wanted.

At the wedding, everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented and all of our guests raved about the food. Renee and her team worked very hard at the event and everything ran smoothly.

Highly recommend.“
