50 Best Caterers in New York

“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.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely bus. So good. The classic burger was my fav bite of the night - super good.
The tofu burger is also good and much larger than the burger.

Fries are good but I prefer thinner cut fries.

The date shake is great to share. It’s small but the perfect size for how sweet it is.

Everything is slightllyyy overpriced I’d say. $15 for a tiny milkshake?“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I would definitely recommend having Mia’s Cocina cater your next event. Prior to our event, we had a call where we discussed expectations, and she was more than willing to provide input and recommendations on both the menu and the amount of food needed, she was incredibly helpful!

On the day of the event, the drop-off was seamless. The food arrived on time, in perfect condition, and was packaged beautifully. The team also helped set everything up.

We ordered the Yellow Rice with Pigeon Peas, Pernil, Pulled Garlic Chicken, Baked Ziti, and Mac and Cheese, everything was absolutely delicious!

I would absolutely order from Mia’s Cocina again!“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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'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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Amazing from beginning to end! Aimee and her team at Alchemiq were total pros and came fully prepared to cater our art gallery show opening with passed hors d'oeuvres. We have no kitchen and only a mini fridge - she came with all the equipment needed to heat and prepare food, chill the wine and champagne. Great service, delicious food and lovely energy with Aimee and her staff. Cannot recommend enough“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“Chef David and his team were great, we hired them to do a 22 person dinner party and they were excellent from start to finish. They arrived early to prep and helped setup tables and chairs, bringing a team of 6 or 7 people with them. Our building has a grill area and they cooked the entire meal on the grill, fresh bread, steaks etc and people couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was. Some of the best catered food I’ve had at any event and I won’t hesitate to hire them again. They are professional, timely the team is great all around. You will be so impressed with the food and experience .“

“I recently had the pleasure of being part of an event organized by Maiden Voyage Catering. The catering was exceptional, the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the team’s organization and attention to every detail made the entire experience seamless.

Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and our guests were truly impressed. I highly recommend Maiden Voyage Catering company for any event.💚“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“So I gotta be honest, as a native New Yorker I was very turned off by this place because of the prices and the obvious gentrification vibe (I’m sorry I had to say it) but I decided to give it a try since I’m always looking in while waiting for the 33 bus.

I gotta say I was just pleasantly surprised.

The quality is honestly outstanding and I truly appreciate the care put into this classic burrito! The eggs are fluffy, the tortilla looks and tastes homemade, the caramelized onions give it a nice sweetness, and there’s a pleasant crunch from tortilla chips! And the mild salsa? AMAZING they should honestly sell it, it’s that good.

The coffee is also pleasantly good quality and my cappuccino was perfectly sweetened by the adorable barista.

HOWEVER, I gotta deduct one star from the lack of some salt and flavor IM SORRY. The salsa was doing alot of heavy lifting here. Also it took a hot minute to get my food while the place was empty and my burrito wasn’t really hot…a little weird. Thankfully still made my bus and was able to eat my burrito right away.

Overall would definitely come back to try the Caesar salad wrap, other burritos, and more cappuccinos!

Edit: yall got me and I’m changing my rating to 5 stars. Love to support a native nyer business!
I’ve tried the salad wraps now and I will definitely be a regular 😊“

“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!“

“Everything is delicious. What else is there?“

“This is my go-to lunch spot. They say quality over quantity and this place is a prime example. Menu is not so overwhelming, and does not include superfluous filler wordings which is very convenient, especially if you’re pressed for time during your lunch breaks. Simple straight forward ingredients listed and are always fresh. The sushi chef makes your food right in front of you. Layout is high chairs with high tables, a row of chairs at the window sill table, three family tables and two for couples. Very close to the transportation hub that is Grand Central, if you’re traveling and just want a quick bite or work in the area. They know my name by now, which is embarrassing, but it’s always nice when places remember their clientele.“

“visiting from Ohio, and man this place is phenomenal!!! I got the deep dish style chicken bacon, and it was the best I've ever had. The flavors were AMAZING, and the crust was SO crispy and crunchy without making it hard to eat. Easily some of the best pizza I've had in my whole life.
Like many shops and stores in this area, the dining area is fairly small, and the cramped space does make it VERY warm in the building, but it didnt take away from my experience. If I get the opportunity, I will absolutely visit again!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent pizza ... so happy to see Eli again ... we will be back soon ❤️“

“Fantastic addition to our wedding! There are so many options to choose from, we did Taco Bell for our party. We were able to customize the menu selections, they also brought all the condiments, sauces, and to go bags so our guests could take it with them. They also made me and my husband a to-go box with an assortment of food (which we thoroughly enjoyed the next day). Seamless set up, food was hot and staff was courteous. Would recommend for any party not just weddings 🔥“

“Karen Lee is a treasure! She welcomes you into her home, her kitchen, and her love of food! You will learn more than how to assemble a recipe and follow instructions, you'll understand the choices Karen makes when selecting ingredients, you'll gain an appreciation for how she plans and prepares, and you'll get to EAT!!!! Her knowledge, her kindness, and her hospitality made for a wonderfully fun night with friends - those I attended with and those I made while learning, cooking, and eating!“

“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!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Amazing time here! It was so cute, food and tea was delicious and my server was so kind and attentive. The owner came by to say hello as well and overall, I had a great time. Would be really cute for a birthday, Mother’s Day, etc.“

“Stopped in here on my lunch break for the first time and was thoroughly pleased. The food was fresh, the ambiance was nice, and happy hour was super affordable. The owner was there and was really kind to me as well as my server Kay. Will def be back!“

“Boy I tell u the food was so darn delicious!!!!! I we was just there for breakfast“

“I love you guys!!! Wonderful friendly service rain or shine! ❤️“

“This is a small place, not fancy but homey and relaxing. Italian food is excellent, again homey and done just right for a full meal. Cannot go wrong on any of the dishes offered. A place to return again and again. Feels like Italy. Highly recommended.
We need more places like this on UWS or New York in general.“

“The quality exceeded my expectations in every aspect, from the food and presentation to the service and communication.
As a first-time customer, the moment Teresa told me she would personally be there to oversee everything gave me complete confidence. It reassured me that I was in good hands and showed that Vienna Calling Catering truly cares about its clients.

I highly recommend Vienna Calling Catering and look forward to working with them again.“
