Her food is made with fresh ingredients and taste really good. My favorite meals were the braised short ribs and the Peruvian chicken with plantains and corn.

I will def be ordering some of meals soon! You should as well if you are in the Raleigh area or need a chef for your next event.

Because of the quarantine, I've been having groceries delivered. I don't like ordering produce from…read morea grocery store, because I can't see it first. That's not a problem with Papa Spuds! Even though I can't see it, I know everything will come freshly picked and very clean (although I still wash it all). They say they have "grocery store prices." I'm not sure I agree--the prices were a bit higher than the stores where I usually shop, but the freshness and quality make up for the difference. At Papa Spuds, you order online between Friday afternoon and Monday at 12 p.m. From 12 to 1 on Monday, you can get discounted produce, but they had a limited selection when I tried this. Later on Monday, you get an email telling you when they'll deliver. The packaging is recyclable, and you're expected to put it out on the morning of the next delivery, so it can be reused. I like that you have the choice of buying a weekly or bi-weekly box. Although I haven't tried any, yet, they also offer meat and seafood, along with the more-common fruits, vegetables and dairy products.

I can't say enough positive things about Chef Jay and Magnificent Meals Raleigh! I was fortunate…read moreto attend a dinner party catered by Jay at the home of a colleague, and was blown away by the experience. From the first cocktail to the last bite of dessert (paired with specific bourbons), the food, presentation, and Jay himself were just perfect.

If you're looking for catering or a hands off top notch dining experience in your own home, Magnificent Meals Raleigh will not disappoint!

Jason and his team were so professional, family friendly, and so easy to work with! From the beginning, middle, to the end I was communicated with and able to make changes or substitutions as need. Jason helped put together a few options for different menus to choose from and then we went from there to create the best food experience ever. Jason and his team made sure everything was taken care of from the menus to decor. The apps and deserts options were always full and ready to be shared (while we worked on demolishing them). Jason even accommodated specific food requests and entrees (Kids and last minute menu changes). They kept our space so clean and left our kitchen better than they found it. I would recommend Jason and his team for any event and will definitely be having them back so we can enjoy this experience again!

We placed a large Thanksgiving order with Chef Mario, Inc. in Raleigh, and they never delivered it…read more Not late -- never. We tried calling multiple times and only reached an answering service that couldn't provide any real help. No one from the actual business ever called us back. No updates. No explanation. No apology. Nothing. For a holiday order that families rely on, this level of disregard is unacceptable. We were left scrambling at the last minute because this company simply did not show up or communicate. Based on our experience, Chef Mario, Inc. feels completely unreliable, and we strongly urge others to think twice before placing an order. A business that takes holiday payments and then disappears is not one you should trust with something this important. Avoid the headache -- look elsewhere.

Al Basha was a great experience! All of us ordered the chicken shawarma wrap combo, which came with…read morea wrap, fries, and coleslaw for around $13. It was a pretty generous amount of food for the price, and everything was solid. The shawarma was solid, the fries were good, and overall it was a satisfying lunch. Honestly, the food by itself was probably more of a 4-star experience for me, but the hospitality is what bumped this up to five stars. Every employee greeted us right when we walked in, and they even gave each of us a cup of their lentil soup to try, "on the house." Multiple employees also checked in during our meal to ask how everything was and whether we were enjoying the food. You could genuinely tell they cared about our experience, and that kind of hospitality goes a long way. Solid food, great value, and even better service. Definitely worth checking out!

I went back for a dessert and it took forever to order it . I had a lamb combo with falafel and hummus. We also had a kibbie platter with salad and taziki. Everything was good but our other places are better. There was a big container of hot tea but we had to ask, we were not told it was available. Stars off for poor customer service and smaller portions than some places.

I've worked with Urbana Catering Concepts several times over the years - recently for a big (about…read more200 person) nonprofit, fundraising event that includes heavy hors d'oeuvres for our guests. We've had this event annually for 3 years & we've worked with Urbana Catering Concepts the last two years and we couldn't be happier with our experience from planning, to price, to the food, to the staff at the event. We were far, far happier with Urbana than the caterer we used our first year (in case you're wondering - the first year caterer was Square Rabbit). Chef Vaughn has always been really great about working with us on menu items (making suggestions & being open to ours) and working to keep us within our budget. For example - we needed a few vegan options at our event this year and Vaughn had great ideas! Since using Urbana for this event we've heard nothing but great things about the food and I can't say enough good things about the staff. They are amazingly friendly & helpful - they kept everything looking good throughout the event and even kept our donated dessert area cleaned up and looking nice. We are looking forward to working with them again next year. In summary - great food. great price. great people.

I'll cut straight to the chase. I LOVE Juicekeys. The only menu item that I've had there is their…read moresmoothie bowls, but I cannot get enough of them. They are so delicious that it is hard to believe they're healthy. I really don't care though. They are that good. It's a charming little shop as well. It's clearly well taken care of. The space is always cleaned to a shine whenever I am in there, with ample seating if you'd like to stay and sit for a while you enjoy your food or drink. The staff is always friendly as well. If you live in the area, they have a $30 membership that actually seems like an incredible deal because of all the freebies you get. I live a few too many minutes away for that. If you are close by though, check that out. It's a little bit pricey for certain, but it's always a joyful splurge when we do indulge ourselves with a smoothie bowl. Check it out for yourself!

We ended up parking on a side street and walking over. Walking in the shop has plenty of space for seating, outlets under most seats, and feels health-conscious and welcoming. To order you'll walk to the counter, place your order, and the associate will bring out your smoothie bowl from the kitchen when it's ready. I ordered the Blue-Green Zini Smoothie bowl which contained Coconut Water, Vegan Protein, Cashew Butter, Coconut Sugar, Blueberry, Zucchini, Apple, Banana, Coconut Ice and was topped with House-Made Maple Cream, Banana Chips, Coconut Chips. Just as a heads up, there are only banana chips and coconut on top of this bowl and the fruit is blended. The bowl was excellent. The house made cream really balanced the bowl nicely and it was very refreshing. Highly recommend checking out Juicekeys if you are in the north Raleigh area and looking for a smoothie.
