Pepper paneer n rice :(
Chandrika B.

This place showcases itself as an indian and mexican fusion food place. The menu was tempting and i was excited to try this new place via the catered lunch at office last week but i was so let down :( Menu items: 1. Butter chicken burrito - 3/5 loved the idea of it but it was so not butter chicken. It was basically a spicy white chole (indian garbanzo beans gravy) and rice burrito with scanty shredded chicken pieces thrown in between. I didnt taste anything like "butter chicken" in it. It was palatable but maybe they can just rename it to what they r stuffing inside it. It wasspicy 4/5 for me so if u cant handle heat, dont order it. U might get confused with seeing the name "butter chicken" but its nothing like that. 2. Paneer bhurji burrito - this was yellow turmeric and black pepper minced paneer (indian cottage cheese) with onions and spiced rice :( no taste at all. Super boring 1/5 3. Chips and salsa (green and red) were decent 4. Gulab jamun - were average and good. Nothing out of the world but definitely decent to finish of with so i will rate it as 3/5 I wish they improved their quality of ingredients as the paneer and rice quality was not up to the mark.

Never had IDK Eatz before but definitely recommend! The food is cooked and has a lot of flavor. If you're looking for some good Indian food, I highly recommend giving this place a shot!

We hired Nicolana and Chef Jai for our December 2022 wedding, and they were FANTASTIC!! They provided us with an amazing tasting a few months in advance, and were able to reduce the spice level to our perfect match. Chef Jai even provided a few extra gulab jamun for my kids during the tasting, which was so kind of him!! They were super communicative throughout and showed up to the venue on time. The food was delicious and stayed warm throughout the event, and everything was exactly how I wanted it! They even braved the Level 2 storm that occurred on my wedding day! Thank you so much for making the day the best ever!

We used IDK Eatz to cater food for a birthday party and were very happy with the spread. Firstly, what drew me to them was their presentation and menu that is out of the box. Having eaten so much indian food in the bay area we loved the creative menu options from IDK. Jai is great and gave us suggestions based on menu and number of people. The staff that worked were kind and lovely to work with. Reservations, and their co-ordinating staff was on point with communication. We went home as very happy hosts, and will highly recommend IDK!

We ordered from IDK Eatz for our son's first birthday. Since the theme was Mexican fiesta, it was only fitting that we order fusion tacos from IDK. Chef Jai knows what he is doing, the fusion tacos were on point. His Cholae were probably the best I had in my life! The whole combination of tortilla with cholae and butter chicken/ paneer went really well and was delicious. Our guests were so happy with the food. The service was prompt and communication with Nicolana was easy. We are sure going to cater food from IDK Eatz again.

With our concerns with dining outside due to COVID, we wanted to replicate an upscale restaurant dining experience at home. We invited Chef Jai to cook dinner for the two of us for our anniversary. Chef Jai was very friendly and give us the dining experience we were looking for. Chef Jai prepared and served us a very contemporary Indian fusion 6 course meal. He created multiple tapa style appetizers including veg dumpling, veg tulips, sag makki canapes and sliders. The main course was Indian fusion tacos with Mexican fair and finally fig cardamom yogurt as dessert. Every item served was deliciously prepared and tastefully served. We have eaten Indian fusion food at other places but always Indian fusion food implied mellowed down flavors. Chef Jai brings the full kick of Indian flavors to fusion food, which we very much enjoyed. We are thankful to Chef Jai for coming to our house even during COVID situation and giving us a memorable dining experience.

This was an unexpected find in Livermore. What a charming cafe spot with lots of space inside and…read moreoutside to sit and relax. Good area with good customer service daily. Public restrooms are well maintained and interior is modern. Charming Fig has good selections on the menu. Yes, they sell pastries and gifts too. Nothing is cheap in prices these days. It was a very pleasant stop today. Good atmosphere with calm cafe vibes. Parking lot had enough parking spots while it's shared with other offices nearby. My cashier rang me up over the counter pretty quickly. Helpful. I grabbed a table number and dined in. I tried their Breakfast Bowl here. Great healthy choice. Delicious and generous in portions. It looked great on the plate. I added the fresh fruits on the side and it was the best decision here, fresh and sweet fruits. Nice. Complimentary water is self served. Women staffs here are all hardworking. One of the ladies came by and had good casual conversations with me while asking if I wanted to refill my hot cup coffee Americano. She thought it was the refillable drip coffee. Overall, I do appreciate the service and care for customers here. Nice people. Good service. Patio area was spacious as well. Great place to do meetups or sit and relax with background music. Great first impression. I'll be back for more!

You know when you host an event and don't have time to eat? Well, the food is so good (I promise…read moreyour guests will be talking about it) it'll force you to take time to eat (and even grab seconds!). 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!

I can confidently say.....I will never use another catering company again…read more Passion for Catering is my forever choice!! The curated experience and top notch food is a WINNER! Priscilla is dedicated to making every event special. Always on time and communication is seamless. I've been using Passion for a few work events and now all my parties at home too. Looking forward to upcoming events and seeing what creative ideas they come up with. 10/10 Recommend!!

They looked organized, but they had to go find my order and I had to show them my email receipts because they didn't have my order on file...took a little longer but that was fine. They also gave out flowers for Mother's Day which was super nice! When we arrived home I unpacked & cleaned everything, and noticed I didn't get a Chardonnay, so I emailed Cabana Dave's right away to check to see what to do. I followed up with another email on 5/13 with no response. UPDATE Dave called me back personally today-he explained that they've been swamped & he said sorry for not getting back to me sooner. He has the wine & I can pick it up tomorrow! I love that they are helping local businesses during this time, and really I'd give more stars if I could get someone to respond to my question. I'll defiantly order again, mistakes happen but it's great when they are fixed! Thanks Dave!

This is about customer service, not the food. I called about…read morea catering inquiry and Jill answered the phone. She laughed at and corrected me during our brief conversation, making me uncomfortable and quick to move on to another caterer. I am sure she had no ill intentions but as someone who has worked in customer service for seven years this was an unacceptable way to be treated. It came across as rude and thoughtless. I am giving this two stars instead of one because I hate to poorly effect this catering company's ratings because of a phone call, but I was very put off by this interaction.
