  Birthday catering for 60
by
Greetings I do not normally offer review's, however this experience of using Armins food for my birthday party was exceptional. We had some 60 guests from different ethnic backgrounds and dietary requirements. Without exception every guest praised the catering arrangement and especially the food. Normally people tend to waste food when it is a buffet, but this time, many would have licked the plates clean, if manners allowed! No food was wasted or left in their plates. A confirmation that they really enjoyed every morsel. So thank you Armin and Yazdi for making a wet and windy day in our garden a success. I would use their services again and again.
  Golden Wedding Anniversary and Navjote function
by
Armin's Catering catered and provided a full banqueting service for 200 guests on the 4th of Nov 2017. It was to celebrate our Golden Anniversary and our grand children's Navjote celebrations. The food served by Armin's Catering was excellent and of very high quality. All our guests commented on how delicious the food was and plentiful. The service and staff were excellent too. We are so pleased we went with Armin's Catering for our so important function. I have nothing but praise of how they managed it all. Well done and thank you Armin's Catering. Highly recommended.
  Engagement Party
by
Armin & Yazdi, Thank you so much for making our day perfect with your lovely food. All our friends and family were very complimentary about the food. I can honestly say, it was the best. The whole organisation and management was very good. I will definitely recommend you and use your services again. Highly recommended
  Wedding dinner- absolutely delicious- Fantasticand authentic
by
We had a small prayer ceremony for our wedding and food was catered for by Armin and it was one of the best Parsi mealswe have had. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed it and I will definitely be ordering Armin's food again.
  Sami's 3rd and 5th birthday party
by
Hello Armin & Co, Thank you very much for all your efforts and the attentive service + the good food that you provided on both events. That was why we booked you for both events. Food was excellent – this is not just my opinion, the majority of the guests would come up to me and state how tasty the food is. They would state what their favourite is and they wouldn’t describe just one item, a few dishes would be mentioned. All food was constantly cooked well and it was fresh Service is above par – Armin & Co met all our requirements. We are difficult customers – we have vegetarians, meat eaters and kids to cater and I want the food I want. Armin not only listened to what we wanted but was also prepared to use her experience to provide advice and suggestions around what to serve and how much. Her family and staff were very helpful engaging with the guests, helping them with their needs. I do not have to manage Armin & Co, they can easily manage themselves but never to our detriment. To me, this shows they care about their customers and the high quality they wish to produce. We were able negotiate with cost and at the same time ask for food items off menu – Armin & Co always tried their best. I would always recommend Armin and her catering family/team. Service is consistently excellent. Food was always cooked fresh on the day, hot and always very tasty. This is not just my opinion, this is the majority consensus coming from the guests during the parties. They helped with cutting the cake, they served tea and coffee at the end to all the adults, they helped setup and they helped clear up. We will definitely use them again – my wife likes arranging many many parties L Yours Sincerely Mo Rashid

by
Armin and her fantastic team produced a beautiful spread for our son's wedding. All of the food was delicious and the guests all raved about the thin Rotis and mouthwatering starters , Biriani and all the other dishes which tasted so home made. There was more food then we could eat and are still enjoying the left overs. I would like to say that their professionalism, politeness and understanding is without a doubt 5 star. Thank you for making our day so special. Paul and Neelam

Armin & Yazdi and all of their team organised a superb celebration lunch for 110 people for my Mother's 90th birthday. The pre-planning was very well organised with good recommendations for the menu, providing both clarity and very good value for money. On the day the room was beautifully set up and the service was incredibly good with friendly staff who looked after each table's every need. But most of all the lunch was absolutely delicious! Thank you very much for making our day very special.
  Birthday Party

Armin's Catering catered for 35 people for my birthday party at home, in January. The food was absolutely delicious but the main joy was that Armin and her team took over the preparing and serving in a totally professional and unobtrusive way. This meant that I could enjoy the evening with no worries,no work and happy guests. They also cleared away and left everywhere clean and tidy. Will definitely recommend.

The team arrived as agreed and dealt with all the cooking and serving. They left my kitchen clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely be using them again as will many of our guests.

  Fabulous Wedding Reception

Armin & Yazdi provided us with an excellent service for our daughters wedding reception. They looked after everything from table and chair dressing to selection of cutlery, crockery and flowers. The food was so delicious that a hig proportion of our 200 guests commented enthusiastically about the quality and quantity of food. The dinner service was also delivered unintrusively and professionally. Once we had awarded the contract to Armin & Yazdi, we had nothing to do but get dressed and turn up for the reception. Well done and thank you.
  Amin's Catering

We asked Amin and Yazdi to provide and serve food at a large wedding anniversary party. They and their whole team were excellent and all our guests enjoyed their food enormously.
