I had a fantastic catering experience with Kitchenina for my open house. First of all, Aliki, was a pleasure to talk to and indispensable in planning the logistics. This was my first time hosting an event like this and she made it very easy and straightforward. The appetizers that she suggested were perfect (see below). Blackberry mint burrata crostini Spanakopitas Veggie spring rolls with a sweet chili dipping sauce Chicken potstickers with a Teriyaki sauce Cocktail shrimp Beef meatballs with Chimichurri sauce My favorites were the crostinis and the meatballs! I was pleasantly surprised to have some leftovers to sneak home with me at the end of the night. The server, Madelyn (sp?), was an absolute gem. She went out of her way to make sure every guest was well taken care of and had perfect timing on bringing out each appetizer. Definitely worth it!!

Kitchenina was our caterer for our intimate wedding of about 50 people and we are so happy with our decision on choosing them! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND KITCHENINA for their delicious food and level of professionalism! They are a family run business and we loved that their son was helping out at our wedding, he was so sweet and charming! From the very first phone call to schedule our tasting, it was very evident that Aliki was very reliable and super easy to work with. She is also very fast to respond to emails, which we highly appreciated. At the tasting, we had the pleasure of meeting Kostas and we were just blown away with all the delicious food. We were supposed to pick 3 of the 4 appetizers, but ended up getting all 4 because we just could not decide! You can tell that they use only high quality ingredients for their dishes. Everything tasted so fresh and perfectly seasoned. Our favorite dishes from the wedding was the salad with beets and goat cheese (multiple guests have mentioned to us how much they loved the salad and kept on getting more!) the angus beef tri-tip, sesame ginger salmon, and OMG.. the asparagus lemon risotto-- SO GOOD! One thing I truly appreciated was that Aliki was very kind and comforting since she told us that she understands that this was probably the first time we ever worked with a caterer and she was always so helpful throughout our whole planning process. LOOK NO FURTHER FOR YOUR CATERING NEEDS! Kitchenina will be your best decision!

In my experience, wedding food is one of the most forgettable aspects of the event. Not this wedding food!!! Our experience with Aliki, Kostas, and the whole Kitchenina team was anything but forgettable. When guests go out of their way to tell you how much they loved the food you know they mean it. The kind woman managing the floor and general flow of service was Camille, and she was absolutely brilliant. She was so kind and accommodating, even when we made a mistake on the seating chart she handled that situation with grace and efficiency. Kitchenina is so fortunate to have Camille on their team. Every item on the menu was superb. The biggest hits were the definitely the Verde Mac and Cheese and the Chicken Satay, but everything was just wonderful including the Tri Tip and California salad. Guests are encouraged to come up for seconds or more. At the end of the night everything they cooked for you is packaged up to take home. Sadly, the Verde Mac and Cheese was so good there were no leftovers but we see that as a a wonderful sign! As the bride and groom we had a great view of people going to receive seconds and there wasn't a plate returning to it's seat without that mac and cheese, with the exception of our Vegan guests of course. Kitchenina was so accommodating to our three Vegan guests. They were able to make Coconut Tofu Curry and all who had it absolutely raved about it. I wish Kitchenina had a restaurant so we can eat from them again. The Kitchenina team is so professional and helpful as they help you plan your special day. The team they send on the day of the event is on point and everything moves along as it should. Our outdoor ceremony space was also used as our dining area. The Kitchenina team set up all tables and made our ceremony space a dining hall in the blink of an eye. They really were so efficient in all aspects of the day. We could not have done it without them!

our first picture together after ceremony - happy asf because we just grubbed on some juicy meatballs paired with delicious samosas !

Alright y'all, this is a long appreciation post for Head Chef Kostas and Aliki, as well as all of Kitchenina. First and Foremost, our wedding day would not have been complete without Kitchenina's amazing and scrumptialicious (idk if this is a word lol) food. From the appetizers to the main course, the food was beyond stupendous and out of this world. I am not even overexaggerating. When Jubilee and I first met Kostas at our first tasting, we fell in love with his cooking. Aliki - if I could duplicate your husband I would do it in a heartbeat because Kostas can cook!!! You know love and passion are real when it comes out of their food. When we were at the tasting, the food was literally bursting with flavors and LOVE. Did I mention "love"? I'm gonna say this a whole lot in the review. Any who - I stayed in communication with Aliki and also voiced my opinions on what we would like but also asked what would go good with what. I'm not much of a foodie and know much about pairing, but I am forever grateful for Aliki and Kostas for having patience with us and also pouring out their knowledge of food and what goes best with what. Kitchenina was the first food vendor we saw out of the three that we were supposed to try out and we both said YES TO KITCHENINA! The hospitality and quality of food and service that Kitchenina provides, again, is beyond amazing! Even the week leading up to our wedding, we had a bit of a hiccup on our end but Aliki and Kostas were both very understanding and showed a lot of compassion/empathy. The day of the wedding - look y'all - Kostas greeted the both of us after our ceremony and during cocktail hour - no one was supposed to be in the reception area, I felt like Kostas brought so much comfort and peace of mind when he came to greet us. Look y'all HUGS are so important and let me tell you, Kostas came with a warming hug and reassured us everything will be okay. Kostas asked us if there was anything we needed. Kostas and the staff of Kitchenina's hospitality is to live for and witness. I appreciate y'all so much and cannot thank y'all enough for the wonders and beauty that came with having y'all serve y'all amazing and wonderful food! Guests were nonstop raving about the appetizers - most would not stop eating the appetizers and when it came time for the main course, folks still went in for more. We had leftovers and when we took it home with us - I was beyond satisfied. Here's a picture of myself with my brideTribe after eating meatballs and samosas provided by Kostas and Kitchenina as a whole. That smile did not just come out of nowhere. It came from the love that was in the meatballs and samosas. Everything was perfect and wonderful and loving and beautiful! If I could rewind back the hands of time - I would just to experience Kitchenina all over again at our wedding. ALSO KOSTAS CUT OUR WEDDING CAKE WITH NO EXTRA CHARGE. MANNNN MY GUY CAME IN CLUTCH BECAUSE IT COSTS A LOT MORE MONEY FOR CAKE CUTTING TOO HAHA. All in all - we love you both Aliki and Kostas, plus all of Kitchenina's staff. Y'all are the most caring, loving and sweetest people ever!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! FROM THE FAITALAS!!! P.S. WE WILL UPDATE OUR REVIEW ONCE WE RECEIVE OUR FINAL PHOTOS FROM OUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOS FROM OUR VIDEOGRAPHER!!

We just had Kitchenina cater our holiday party and they were excellent. Very professional, organized & pleasant. The guests kept complementing us on how great the food was. Also, during the party, the servers were asking me many times what can they do to help, which I appreciated. I had them refill the guests' wine glasses, if any looked empty & they were very happy to do that. They left the kitchen clean as well. They were amazing. I highly recommend them.

THE MARKET at Edgewood Catering

THE MARKET at Edgewood Catering

(28 reviews)

We had a mediocre experience with The Market catering…read more We struggled to get in touch with them to place our initial order for a small event. We sent multiple messages and voicemails that went unreturned for several days. Just as we were getting ready to change plans and look for a different vendor, we heard back (they had been out on vacation). We decided to still give them a try. (Note: the owner response below suggests that they responded within 24 hours, but that doesn't match our experience - I think this misunderstanding is due to the fact that two of us coordinating the event had reached out to the Market . My initial inquiry submitted on their website went unanswered, and so a couple days later my colleague tried to call and left a voicemail. Eventually my colleague was able to connect with them to place an order. I actually never received any response by phone or email.) The food arrived on time, but the delivery team forgot part of our order. We tried calling both of numbers on the invoice associated with the Market, but they both went right to voicemail. We eventually got a hold of the delivery team and received our missing item halfway through our event. The portions we received were very small compared to the description. For example, "32 tea sandwiches" seems like 4-5 normal sandwiches sliced into 6ths - wild to pay $2.25 for each tiny sandwich slice. The quality of the ingredients seemed mediocre for the price (e.g. the bread seemed like basic bagged sandwich bread, sliced into uneven rectangles). The chicken skewers - the most expensive item we got - were surprisingly small. "Watermelon feta skewers bites" were about a third green olives (not listed in the description) which our guests found unappetizing - we would not have ordered this item if that ingredient had been disclosed. Salad was 99% plain mixed greens (the amount we received runs about $6.99 retail for organic mix at a specialty store). On the whole, most things seemed like we could have gotten similar-or-better quality items for a quarter of the price through Whole Foods. The plating for items was nothing special - again, supermarket take-away platters look about the same. It's really hard to justify the price we paid for the items we received. All in all, we found the service, food quality, and presentation to be unimpressive and overpriced, and the communication/delivery snafus made our event prep more stressful. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but we were expecting more given the glowing Yelp reviews. Based on the experience we had, we'd recommend working with a different caterer.

I have nothing but great things to say about THE MARKET at Edgewood Catering. GREAT FOOD ALL AROUND…read more(HIGH QUALITY)! FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. Paola has been FANTASTIC to work with. She accommodated all my request and she UNDERSTANDS EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. She's thorough and captured all the details. The DELIVERY WAS SMOOTH and the person was very courteous. He made sure that I received every single item that I ordered and EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY. I will definitely be a regular customer for catering! Thank you PAOLA and the individual that delivered - You both did a FANTASTIC JOB!

Im in the market for a catering service for a party in a few months and heard this was the place to…read morego. So of course we had to try their food before committing to a contract. This business is located across the street from the union city bart station. There's a parking lot on site and street parking in front but not too much. Inside is clean and modern decor with a traditional mexican vibe, if that's possible. Next to the counter is a salsa bar with other forget me nots such as onions, jalapeños, radishes etc. I ordered a few tacos to get a feel for their strengths and weaknesses in their meats. If you know me, you know my philosophy on taquerias and taco trucks. You cant judge off of one item because you might miss out on their main focused dish. Anyway, I got a steak, al pastor, Chile verde and the 2 different shrimp variant tacos. All of them checked out, not a single weakness on the menu. The salsa was on the more bland side. If they bring some more heat or flavor, this place could be unstoppable. Especially for the area, because I haven't really found a spot I could put my name next to. All in all, this is an authentic mexican joint that can be enjoyed by all walks of life. The service was great, as well.. the staff was friendly and patient, answering all of our questions. I definitely recommend this place
