We sat back, enjoyed some wine, and it was like they weren't even there--except we quickly started smelling the most delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen. We enjoyed bacon wrapped dates and arepas to start. Then dinner was a mixed green salad with fresh strawberries and goat cheese and a huge bowl of seafood paella to share (topped with her secret green sauce). We had more than enough food for the 8 of us, and enjoyed leftovers for the rest of the night long after Chef Loly had left. She cleaned up as well; the kitchen was spotless. Cannot say enough good things about Chef Loly. So professional and responsive (key when you're planning an event). The food was DELICIOUS! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for chef services. Cannot wait to use her again!

About my preferences, after I said our budget, etc. it was so strange. It's fine to have a bubbly personality but this was off putting. Honestly one of the most unprofessional, ill informed customer client interactions. I felt like there were a lot of things not aligning for what I'd expect a professional caterer to know. She didn't even send a quote after our phone call. So while we wouldn't have gone with Zesty Gourmet anyway, the business doesn't seem to care much for clients anyway. I'm not going to remind a company that I want to pay thousands of dollars to them. Honestly just an entirely confusing, strange, and off putting experience end-to-end.

We recently had the opportunity to hire Premier Catering for one of the most important days of our…read morelives, our wedding. All I have to say is beware and be warned and I will be as honest as possible. I have also read some of the good reviews here but I think there is a big difference in delivering small office lunches and catering for a wedding. The reason why we picked Premier was because it came recommended by one of the coordinators we were working with. Our initial impression and experience was great. We went out and did the tasting in Ashburn. The food was great. The owner Reza was nice and we came back thinking we found the right place for our big day. We asked them to provide food for two days. Our Henna night as well as our wedding day. He showed us a printed brochure with his menu and prices for catering. The prices go up if you order more items, and they go down if you order less items. We werent sure about our final headcount to which he said, just let us know a couple of weeks before the wedding and we will adjust the headcount. He also assured us that it wont impact the pricing. We also decided to hire them to provide other supplies for the wedding day (because we thought it will be easier to deal with a few vendors than to hire separate vendors for everything). So far so good. The wedding was 6 months away. They asked for a big deposit and we obliged. As the wedding start to get closer, the attitude and the willingness to help start to disappear. The things that we had discussed and agreed upon were now under "additional" charge category. It didnt stop there. It got to a point where my wife was in tears trying to sort things out and said I cant deal with them anymore. It felt like as of it the owner was trying to get more and more out for delivering less and less and if you are planning a big day, its the last thing you need. The straw that broke the camel's back was when my wife called and said they are increasing the cost of the food because we gave them the final headcount. At this point I ran out of patience and got on the phone with the owner and told him what we had agreed upon. He said "We werent expecting your headcount to go down this much" (From 75, it went down to 60). After a bit of a frustrating back and forth, he said, I should look at the contract (which by the way he asked us to sign on the first day when we met for tasting and by saying "Dont you worry about anything, we will adjust the count when you have it". Lesson learned -- make sure you read the contract and make addendum as needed. I still stood my grounds and told him that I honestly dont care about the contract. I care about what I was told in front of 3 other people. (My wife and my in-laws). On our wedding day, they provided half of the food and the other half of the food was provided by another restaurant (we wanted to represent our cultures and foods from both sides). Since Premier catering was the primary caterer, an arrangement was made for them to serve "all" of the food. The timing and the service was not to our expectations at all. They screwed up the "Indian" appetizers. Part of the food was not served. After dinner, when it was time for cake cutting, we found out that they didnt bring the cake cutting knife. It was embarrassing when we were handed a butter knife to cut the wedding cake. After the dinner, almost an hour went by but no dessert was served. I finally went up to Reza and said where is the dessert. I didnt get a solid answer. I asked them to put the dessert out right away. It was one thing after another and overall experience wasn't what we were expecting. In the contrast, we held our Henna night (day before the wedding day) at the Hyatt and everything went flawlessly. Both of these nights were at the same scale and with the same number of people, caterers and had a similar timeline. As a business owner myself, customer service and honesty is extremely important to grow the business. Being sweet may work up front but if you cant work with your customers and dont operate in the spirit of helping your customer, if the main goal always remains making money, then you simply can't be trusted and without trust, it's very hard to sustain business.

We ordered a sandwich platter with a variety of meats, a pan of lasagna, two fruit platters, and some drinks. Accompanying our meal were all the usual plates, utensils, and condiments, etc. The delivery guys were professional and left right after they had set everything up for us. The food was on point and there was plenty to go around. I've ordered food for a dozen people before where the caterer brought exactly enough for a dozen with none to spare (to my embarrassment). That was not the case with these guys. Although the sandwiches were delicious in their own right, the Lasagna was the star of this show. The fruit was also fresh, but by the time we got to that we were too full to eat much of it - which left plenty of leftovers for the bottom feeders in my office :) I would definitely order from this place again. When comparing them to some of the other places I've ordered from, their prices were on par, but the food was a cut above.

This is purely in regards to the recent international food festival event at Dulles Mall…read more We tried this vendor at a recent international food festival. While lines were long at most places, this spot had a shorter wait and someone nearby had a butter chicken wrap that looked promising. We ordered one wrap and their pani puri. The woman at the front was friendly and enthusiastic, which made us hopeful. The pani puri was served quickly, but unfortunately it lacked flavor--the sauce was bland, potatoes unseasoned, and the puri tasted stale. Still, we held out hope for the butter chicken wrap. That's when things went downhill. We waited nearly 30 minutes with a growing crowd of frustrated customers. We learned from others that the chicken in their wraps was ice cold. One woman had already complained and was waiting for a remake. Eventually, a new tray of chicken arrived, but the wraps were still coming out cold, with unmelted cheese and chilled chicken--clearly not "fresh" or properly heated. It was frustrating to see so much disorganization behind the scenes. If they were having technical or prep issues, it would've been better to pause service rather than serve food that wasn't safe or enjoyable to eat. It's a shame, because I've heard this business does meaningful work in the community with education and outreach. But the lack of preparation and poor food quality made for a very disappointing experience. We won't be returning, but I sincerely hope they take this as a learning opportunity and improve for future events.
