This review is a few weeks overdue, but it's well deserved. I ordered turkeys for Thanksgiving--and while Thanksgiving is usually all about the sides, with turkey playing a supporting role, that was definitely not the case here. These turkeys completely stole the show. They were incredibly moist, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Everyone was blown away. If they can make turkey taste this good, I can only imagine how amazing everything else must be. We will absolutely be ordering from them again! read more

Emuna Catering went above and beyond... and then they went above and beyond that!!! I'm an Azeri Jew from the former Soviet Union. Not only is our cuisine very specific but our culinary style is vastly different from what catering companies are accustomed to in this country. We redefine what the term "family style" means. On top of a loaded cocktail hour, we were looking for a caterer that could provide 12 cold appetizers to each table, a few hot appetizers, and 5-6 different entrees that would satisfy meat-eaters, pescatarians, and vegetarians alike. And of course, on top of it all, it had to be kosher. I spent many stressful weeks talking to different caterers. None of them took the time to truly understand what I was asking them to do. And none of them could deliver. Enter John. John delivered on every level. We had an abundance of food. Shawarma. Chicken kabob. Shish kabob. Kubideh. Tacos. Avocado egg rolls. Moraccan cigars. And that's just cocktail hour. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We had so much beautiful food waiting for us at our table after the ceremony concluded. I'm tempted to list everything here but it would make this review far too long. Nobody was hungry for one second at any point throughout the night and the food was amazing. There was also a desert room at our wedding that could have doubled as an art installation. The fruit was cut and assorted beautifully across the tables. There were so many different types of pastries. We had a tea station and an espresso station, both of which had a server who showed the most generous hospitality with their spirit. Everyone keeps talking to us about the desert room. My aunt just called me yesterday to rave about the wedding, specifically the food and the deserts. She told me it felt like we were all relaxing with everyone we love in a beautiful home that we created. Meanwhile, the bar at our wedding was outstanding. The bartenders were having fun with our guests. At one point, they brought out a tray of shots to the dance floor with bottles that had VIP sparklers attached. I had no idea they were going to do that. It was a blast. If that's not your thing, I'm sure they would read the room accordingly. But they understood our vibe and added a lot to our celebration. I'm telling you, John didn't deliver, he OVER-delivered. I probably called him 50 times throughout the course of the wedding planning and he always made time for me. My wife and I could not be happier with the decision we made to go with Emuna. THANK YOU JOHN AND EMUNA!!! read more

I give EMUNA my Biggest Thumbs zip and Gratitude ! I am so amazed by Edmuna and especially John ( who was do caring and understanding at my last moment nite call )! It rare during Passover to find anyone who sells food - not GRUMPY ! I want to share it with the world . Kosher catering is usually acceptable but not beautiful or extremely delicious but I was amazed by everything Emuna and John did for me . I usually do all the cooking on holidays for my family and rely on caterers for things I don't do ie. Defile fish , Matzoh balls etc. However this Passover I had not expect to be in LA, due to commitments in NY so I didn't make big plans for Passover . since my children ( grown and 2 out of 3 married )!!BH At the last minute the thought of not being with my children and granddaughter made me feel very sad . They also kept complaining they would not have my " famous" brisket . With so little time I relied on the kids her butchers I do business and also had to quickly kosher my house etc. A friend recommended Edmuna and I said what do I have to lose ..., the other caterers have been less than exciting and I really was in days of Passover . I called emuna and instantly I knew I was dealing with next level people . As an avid chef and coming from NYC we have so many great options. I found in LA that was not the case. John couldn't commit at first since he was basically done taking orders . I wanted his chef to come to my home and he laughed ( it's a NYC type of option). We spoke so many times over the next 24 hours - and my guest list was growing . At B the very last moment my younger daughter announced we need a birthday cake for her husband ! John I not only accommodated everything but he even did 4 beautiful Seder plates for me . I kept changing and adding things until the last moment . When the food arrived I expected and believed it would be good but to my utter shock IT WAS BEYOND AMAZING !!! It didn't present or taste like the kosher catering I have experienced over my life. Everything was beautiful, fresh beyond belief , done exactly to my requirement and tasted as if I had a secret Michelin starred chef in my kitchen !! I think EMUNA is exactly as definition !!! I will never use another caterer and I'm the future I will feel so comfortable putting more of the food load on Emuna and really enjoying my family! I can't recommend EMUNA enough and I am a very difficult customer to amaze when it comes to food ! I work with all the top chef's and restaurateurs plus I am a cook myself but Emuna went above and beyond and you see, taste and feel the love for what they do and the customer's enjoyment ! I give EMUNA a 6 STAR B review on a scale of 1-5 ! I am so lucky to have happened upon them and I know this is the beginning of a very long relationship . I love Emuna and if you like beautiful , delicious , "home cooked" food you will too! There are no words to say how amazing they are and I feel I was so blessed and from my last minutes panic and attention to detail this relationship was meant to be !!! Food !!! Care !!Attention to detail!!! read more

The food was delicious and the staff was amazing! We hired Emuna Catering for our son's Bar Mitzvah and the kids and adults loved the food. My friend even commented that the boys would probably grow after eating this meal because it was so healthy and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I waited until the last minute to order food for my son's graduation party. Literally two days before the party, I was still figuring out my order. Emunah did a great job on my short time frame. The food was delicious and plentiful. It was even delivered by Uber!! read more

The food was great! Everything worked out really well. We needed 300 boxed lunches for some high-end guests at an event. Coming from Idaho, and not being able to sample the food in advance, I was a little nervous, BUT it worked out great. John delivered the food exactly when we needed it. Had all the boxes clearly labeled. He even made some 100% vegan options, even coming up with a custom vegan dessert for those guests. We were not looking for Kosher food, I just wanted excellent service, great food, and a caterer that was close by. Emuna checked off all my requirements! Would definitely use them again! Side note, the roast beef sandwich was amazing! Thick thick slices of roast beef. They didn't skimp! read more

I had a lunch reception following the unveiling of my son's memorial monument. The food was beyond fabulous. Every dish was endowed with the freshest, high quality and delicious ingredients. The Smoked Turkey Sandwiches on soft pretzel rolls had thick slices of smoked turkey with lettuce, tomatoes and the perfect sauce. Same was true for the Grilled Chicken sandwishes on Baguette. The Veggie Sandwiches on Baguette and Falafel wraps were filled with tasty veggies. The Harvest, Garden and Quinoa Salads had an incredible variety of fresh vegetables with just the right dressings. the Fresh Fruit Seasonal Plattes besides watermelon, cantalope, pineapple, honeydew melon and huge strawberries included papaya, figs and enormous, juicy, white and red grapes (the expensive type you find at Gelson's). The petite French pastries and cookies were...gone! Everything was beautifully presented. The helpers were johnny-on-the-spot, allowing me to mingle with my guests. This is the very best Caterer possible! read more

This place is amazing! They really strive to satisfy their customers and do whatever necessary to keep them happy. It's so wonderful to have a kosher supplier in the South Bay. We really need it. Their food is so good and catering is well priced for the generous amount of food they give. Excellent resource for everyone!! read more

My company just used Emuna catering at an event at the Staples center. The presentation was very good, and big serving of everything. Most importantly the food was delicious! Thank you very much! read more

I was in rancho Dominguez yesterday and was super hungry, I called emunah and they were able to supply us with 4 kosher sandwiches They were turkey pastrami sandwiches, fresh, tasty and delicious The owner was super helpful and nice Would definitely recommend for a quick bite in that area read more

5 star service! I am an Event Planner at a local hotel near LAX. My client failed to order a kosher meal for one of her attendees, in advance. I was frantically calling local glatt/kosher restaurants to see if they could deliver. Unfortunately most of the places didn't open until 11am or they were too far. My event was happening at 12:30pm so I was on a major time crunch. I called Saeed at Emuna, with no expectations since they are a catering company. I didn't expect that they could help with one meal. Well...I was wrong. Saeed was so kind - he calmed me down, told me that he could help no problem and offered me the best option. Just wanted to say thanks! You helped me in such a stressful situation. Much appreciated- read more

John at Emuna catered for our small backyard wedding. He was incredibly personable, accommodating, and responsive while planning the menu. He also had good recommendations for amount of food, the tables and other equipment we would need, and even a kosher bakery to use (which was also great). The day of the event he dropped off everything including the needed trays and supplies right on time, picked it up right on time afterwards, and was able to accommodate last minute adjustments. And, most importantly, every single dish was delicious! We ordered brisket, salmon, and stuffed peppers as main dishes, and a few different sides of rice, pasta, salad, etc. I would order all of them again, and we had multiple attendees ask us for his information (which we happily shared). In short - Emuna is a great catering service, and John is a great caterer! If you're looking for good service, lots of options, and delicious kosher food, I highly recommend you go with John at Emuna. read more

The best glatt kosher catering option in Los Angeles! The food is fresh and delicious and John is very easy to work with. He is very accommodating in catering. I highly recommend this company! read more

When we needed catering on short notice, and boxed lunches, Emuna was super easy, accomodating, responsive. Lunches were very generous sandwiches and sides, and we also worked with them on a gluten free quinoa and grilled vegetables options. read more

The food was excellent and the person I worked with was incredibly helpful in making sure we had great Kosher meals for an important client meeting. Thanks again! read more

High quality food and service! I have used Emuna a number of times to cater for kosher meals. Each time, they have been responsive, professional and deliver delicious food. They can do a variety of foods for small gatherings... as well as handle large events incredibly welly. I used them for events for 30 people as well as 300 people... and each time, they arrive on time, set up, and provide high quality food and service. Its only natural to get complaints at events when it comes to the food... and yet I have yet to get a complaint when Emuna caters. if anything, people ask for their contact info! Will certainly do business again! read more

Amazing service from John and Saaed! I had a request for a kosher meal last minute and they went above and beyond to satisfy our customer. Can't wait to place more orders from here in the future!!!! read more

The experience with John and Emuna catering was beyond wonderful. John was incredibly responsive and hard working from the moment I reached out to the event itself. He works hard - works on Sundays - and responds on nights and weekends very timely and is on top of it. The food was reasonable and delicious. Everyone at our event raved about it. We also called John 2 weeks before the wedding to help us after 2 other very well known kosher caterers in Pico Robertson stopped responding. He jumped in and delivered fully. I recommend Emuna catering wholeheartedly to anyone else having an event . read more

I am the Meeting Planner for a large company. I was alerted that an important Doctor would be visiting our location, that lunch was needed , and that he was Kosher. I had been referred to Emuna Glatt Kosher just the week before and reached out for today's lunch. I spoke with John and he was very informative and led me through the process. John delivered our lunch for 10 attendees. The presentation was beautiful, and fresh. The Doctor who was visiting, asked to meet me and thanked me for the best lunch he has had at any company. He even noted the freshness of the food and quality. I thank everyone at Emuna Glatt Kosher for their impeccable service, kindness and professionalism. I look forward to asking for their service many more times!! read more

My company had some very important guests coming in from out of town who kept a Kosher diet. This was something very new for us we had never had to look for kosher meals, but we wanted to make our guest feel very comfortable. I found Emuna through googling and calling around. When the day of our lunch meeting came the food was on time and still hot. Our guests loved the taste of everything and were very pleased. Now almost a year later those very guests are due to return and we will be calling Emuna again to cater our lunch. read more

I had gathering for my mother's birthday. They took time to review the entrees and paired the sides. The food was delicious and portions were generous. The food was delivered on time and packaged nicely. I'll use them again. read more

John is an excellent manager. Little pricey but well worth it.

We hired Emuna catering for our Bat Mitzvah event. I know they have also done weddings. From the first meeting, John was helpful, clear, flexible and accessible. John and his business partner Saeed were always able to be reached with questions and concerns. Several food options were offered, with samples provided to us. The flexibility was really important to us as was the organization and the staff. However, the proof is in the pudding, as they say, and the food was delicious! In spite of reasonable prices, the food was beautifully presented and plentiful. All of our guests enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres as well as all the buffet! The party itself was well run and organized. When having an important celebration, the food and service just need to work. I can fully and wholeheartedly recommend Emuna catering service to make your personal celebration easy to enjoy, yummy & lovely. read more

From start to finish Emuna delivered (both literally and physically) for my son's Bar Mitzvah. The food was AMAZING. Tremendous quality at reasonable prices. For the cocktail party, the falafel balls (the crowd favorite), the Israeli Salad, and bow tie pasta with vegetables are a must. For the main meal, the salmon and the chicken with mushrooms were delectable. The hot dogs and hamburgers for the kids were a big hit (I also had a hot dog). For dessert, the assorted pastries are also a must. I had nothing to worry about during the event, John/Emuna and the servers were so accommodating (they even wrapped up the leftovers for me). Let John guide you and listen to him. I will be using Emuna/John in 18 months for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. All week I got calls/texts telling me how great the food was. Look no further than Emuna Catering! read more

Best kosher food I've ever tasted. John was great with his suggestions and very professional service. The food was beyond my expectations. Meats were very tender and juicy. Salad, veggies and pasta were so delicious. The complete order was packaged to keep the meat dishes warm and clearly labeled. If I could rate 10 stars, I would. Myself and the entire office staff are looking forward to order again soon. read more

They cater the best Rosemary chicken with sides wild rice and ginger green beans in town. We tried their salmon with sundried tomato caper sauce. It was outstanding. Price was a little bit higher than I thought I should be paying, so I talked to them and asked to lower their prices since I was feeding a party of 75 people and was my first time trying them. We ended up getting a great price and very delicious food. Dessert was very very good, but a bit expensive. I think $3.00 per person for dessert is expensive. .\Whatch outs: Don't call them on Friday afternoons or Saturdays. You get no answer. read more

I order from Emuna Catering for my office. We are an advertising company working with studios and not everyone is Jewish or kosher. But I found this caterer through seamless and the food, quality and price are absolutely great. I'm ordering every lunch for 50 people and + and John from Emuna is great to deal with. Very punctual and helpful. Food is kosher, hot, fresh and healthy. A must try! read more

These guys are amazing, they really came through for me in a bind. We had to serve an ultra-kosher client in a business meeting last minute, and Emuna came through beautifully! The food was delivered early (in the middle of a rainstorm, no less), tasted fresh and delicious, and was very reasonably priced. We were extremely satisfied and I cannot recommend them enough! read more

I was very happy with Emuna Kosher Catering. John, the owner, was specifically attentive and helpful throughout the planning stages and the event itself. It's not easy planning a Gala Dinner Event when you are not in the same city. John helped me with every detail as well as visiting the venue. The food he prepared was amazing! They gave us a wide variety of entrees, side courses, desserts and it was all delicious. The attendees at the event were very impressed with the quality of the food. I felt that his pricing was very reasonable. He took a personal interest and cared about our event and I appreciated that type of customer service. I would definitely use Emuna Catering again and recommend them to others. read more
