I came accross Tiffin Man Catering how many event planners do -- Googling "best catering in MPLS". I couldn't be happier I found them!
Tiffin Man is relatively new to the catering scene, though they've been serving the students of MCTC delicious meals for some time. My review will relate specifically to my multiple catered meals with them.
The first catering meal we hosted with Tiffin Man was from the International page of their catering menu (extensive--16 pages of options!). We had chicken curry and paneer tikka masala with veggie rice pilaf and naan. My vegetarians in the office were so excited to have delicious options! The curry and masala was very high quality and intense, well-developed flavors. $9.99 a person!
Next, we catered a mix of the Mexican Fiesta and Flavors of Cuba international spreads: I got the quesadillas, avocado/melon/jicama salad, cubano sliders, and tres leches. This was the best catered meal I've ever done, and I've done a lot! The quesadillas were stuffed with cheese and corn and beans, the cubano sliders were deliciously packed with flavor, and the tres leches was so indulgent and gooey. I cater for a group of faculty who all have very different food interests, and all of them loved it. $9.99 a person--very reasonably priced.
Finally, we catered the Mac and Cheese bar. This came highly recommended by the chef and the catering manager -- who by the way personally escort each catered meal to you! They set it up completely and describe what each thing is and how it's made. Everything is homemade with love and quality intention.
For the Mac and Cheese bar, you get to pick from three types of mac, and add two proteins (I got chili and grilled chicken) and four toppings (I recommend the mushrooms and the bread crumbs!). You can add a house salad to this meal as well. Coming in at $7.99 a person, it's a great deal and a huge hit with everyone!
I love working with Jag, the catering manager, and the chef each time I cater for events. They are quick to respond, right on time for delivery, and a pleasure to work with. Instead of ordering from a different caterer each time I have an event, I just go through Tiffin Man and get something new and delicious each time! I can't wait to try the rest! read more
