Testimonials
““Having Chef Abishek cater our wedding was an absolute DREAM come true. From our initial tasting through our wedding weekend we experienced the most genuine and attentive service imaginable. We had a half Indian wedding and had 3 major meals catered by his team: a Sangeet with North Indian/South Indian (including live dosa station)/Indo-Chinese/Mexican stations, a post-Hindu ceremony seated lunch (no onions or garlic), and a Cocktail Hour/Reception with half Indian, half American food. As you can see, there were so many dishes and restrictions involved. As my wife has a Polish background, Chef Abishek made pierogies which rivaled some of Greenpoint’s finest. My mom had very particular requests for the traditional South Indian lunch, including masala vada and mysore pak, which Chef Abishek happily and flawlessly executed as well. Many of my friends commented on how amazing the American salads and entrees were as well at the Reception. Chef Abishek and his team can seriously do all cuisines extremely well! Guests repeatedly gushed over how amazing all the food was the whole weekend.
Another reason we chose Chef Abishek is he really cares about and has an eye for decor and vibe. Food was such a big part of our weekend, and with Chef Abishek’s skill for presentation, he essentially served as part decorator as well! The live station and buffet chafing dishes were beautiful and elegant. And his Thali tableware for the South Indian lunch was drop dead gorgeous - it was one of the most talked about things from our wedding.
Lastly, I need to reiterate the world-class service we received from Chef Abishek and his team throughout the process. We did FIVE tastings in total, and truly felt like royalty in every one. As mentioned before, Chef Abishek was happy to accommodate every wish we had. Our venue was a complicated, half outdoor, fairly raw space that came with some challenges. Chef Abishek and his team made the event run so smoothly I am still in awe of how perfect it all was.
We cannot thank Chef Abishek and his team enough for their massive role in making our wedding dreams come true. If you are reading this review, you are SO close to making the best decision you could for your food and beverage needs for your wedding. Don’t think twice and book him now!””
““Chef Abi and his team exceeded all our expectations and truly made our wedding events unforgettable. From the very beginning, they were attentive, supportive, and dedicated to bringing our vision to life. For our sangeet night, we wanted to recreate the vibrant charm of an Indian bazaar with live stations, snacks, and drinks. Chef Abi not only delivered an extraordinary menu but also went above and beyond by sourcing all the snacks and drinks for the bazaar.
Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they took every effort to make our events special. His bartenders from Madam Ji crafted signature drinks that were a hit at every gathering, adding a personal touch to the celebrations. What truly set Chef Abi apart was his team’s versatility; with a Gujarati chef on board, they seamlessly handled all our Gujarati meal requirements without needing additional vendors.
The food was absolutely unforgettable, delighting our guests with its exceptional flavors and quality. It was a highlight of our wedding. Guests are still raving about the unique flavors and exceptional quality of the meals served across all events. Chef Abi didn’t just curate menus; he created cherished memories for us and our loved ones.
If you’re looking for a caterer who combines culinary expertise with heartfelt dedication, look no further than Chef Abi and his incredible team!””
