We found this Persian catering place on Doordash. It turns out that they have a physical…read morerestaurant in San Ramon too. I've just never seen it, nor drove by it. The Persian Chicken Kabobs are excellent. Between Santorini and Danville International Market I think Diamondbite's has the juiciest by far. Grilled to perfection. For the ground meat kabobs, I can only recommend the Beef version. The ground chicken was dry and overly seasoned - salty to the point of being inedible. The saffron rice is also good, though some more oil would be nice. They also offer extreme contrast of flavors - a side of pickled cabbage that's really tart and a single jalapeño pepper that's spicy for me. Definitely plan to try some of their other offerings. They ran out of Aush Resteh last time so it'll be something to look forward to forward too.

I ordered catering for a memorial gathering and specifically requested delivery at 2:00 PM. I…read moreconfirmed the address and delivery time by text as requested. At 1:45 PM on the day of the event, I received a message that the food had just been sent by Uber. Concerned, I reached out for confirmation but received no response for 30 minutes. The food ultimately arrived about an hour late. When I later discussed the situation with the owner, I had hoped for understanding and a simple acknowledgment of the mistake. Instead, I was met with repeated excuses and defensiveness. Despite the clear communication leading up to the event, there was no apology and no acceptance of responsibility for the late delivery. The food itself was good. However, what left the most negative impression was not the delay itself, but the complete lack of accountability afterward. Delays happen, but customers deserve honest communication and ownership when things go wrong. Unfortunately, because of the way this situation was handled, I cannot recommend this business to others and will not be using their services again.

I called Ivy telling her what happened and she was extremely understanding, sweet and professional. She delivered the stuff she'd already made. And made sure she didn't charge me for the rest of the stuff. It was very last minute and my apologies to her for the cancellation. I really wish I could go ahead with the party cuz my guests would've definitely enjoyed the variety of food she'd made. I could only take pictures of few of the items, but everything was very delicious, it was a lot of food of course but we could freeze some of them. As much as I've been disappointed about my party that I planned for months being canceled, I thought I should write this review cuz I owe it to Ivy for being so wonderful with the whole process. She deserves appreciation. I definitely recommend her for all your catering needs. I will be using her services for my other parties as well.

We hired Henry for a birthday party for a group of family and friends (around 70 people, including…read morekids), at the park this weekend, and he did a fantastic job! It was so convenient to have someone else take care of all the shopping, prepping, and cooking. Our guests loved the food. Many took home business cards. Henry was so easy to work with, my wife and I were wondering if we missed any important planning steps. Haha. It took just a few emails to get a quote, secure the date, and finalize the menu. Henry and his son showed up at the park exactly when he said he'd be there, and the food was cooked on premise, exactly on time. Henry sources all the ingredients from Costco and buys everything needed the day before. I'm a huge fan of all things Kirkland. Always solid quality and value. I've been pretty lazy about writing Yelp reviews lately. Figured I'd write one for Grillaxin since many of the other reviews are years old, and the website seems to be defunct. I think they're more active on Instagram now.

I was so busy during the wedding that I actually didn't get a chance to try the food myself, but afterward I received so many compliments from our guests about how good the tapas were. That alone told me we made the right choice. The delivery was also right on time, and everything arrived still super hot and ready to serve, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, the food was a hit with our guests, and I would definitely recommend Havana Catering for an event.

I used Havana Catering for the first time for my baby shower this past weekend and had a really…read moregreat experience. I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.

I wanted to showcase my Taiwanese heritage for the dinner and was excited that Mama Lee's was available to cater. It was hard to decide from the variety of their catering menu because so much of it reminded me of my childhood favorites. I ordered the following, and of course it was way too much, but folks were excited to take home leftovers: - Popcorn Chicken - Pork chop egg fried rice - Chicken cutlet egg fried rice - Qua Bao - Veggie Chow Mein - Crispy Fried Tofu Sticks (with garlic dipping sauce and pickled cabbage) - Seasonal Veggie & Mushroom The popcorn chicken, egg fried rice, and veggie chow mein was the kids' favorites, along with the winter melon lemon tea, which David and Marysa threw in for being their first customer in Pleasant Hill. The adults enjoyed everything that was offered, and were excited to try many new dishes for the first time. Overall, the flavors were reminiscent of my memories of eating in Taiwan, and that was a huge plus! Communication was easy, and the day of the event, they sent pics of the food. Not only did they include delivery over $350, the food was brought in piping hot & they helped set up the food. I am excited to work with David and Marysa again for next year's dinner, and I would highly recommend Mama Lee's catering for your next event!!

Passion for Catering was recommended by a friend and booked them for our baby shower of about 75 guests. I wasn't expecting anything more than good food and good service but what we received blew away expectations. The team was responsive throughout the booking process (a huge plus) and offered an eclectic and robust menu. That's all great to start but the real test came the day of our event. Their team was there on time to set up and food was ready by the time our first guests arrived. The food was delectable and truly made our time with friends and family memorable. Just as Passion for Catering was recommended to us by a friend, we'll be recommending them to all our friends on the market for a caterer. *kicking myself for not taking photos but will update for our next event!

Walked me through the menu with all smiles and serious enthusiasm. I had my eye on the Mushroom sandwich since I love wild mushrooms and thought it was unique, but it was already sold out (DAYUM I missed out!!). So I went for the classic Bacon, Egg & Cheese with a Hash brown Crisp because you can't beat that breakfast sando staple. My friend got the Smoked Tri-Tip one and yea... gorgeous. Also, can we talk about their English muffins? I asked if I could just buy a dozen to go because they look that good. The bacon, egg & cheese had microgreens, and pickled onions (that pickled onion hit with the acidity). The tri-tip had that slow-smoked flavor and a fried egg on top. Overall: great food, great energy, excellent service. Janneh making sure everything was right. I'll absolutely be back for another Muffin Lab sando (and yeah, maybe request a dozen muffins to go too )
