What our clients say

Real reviews from real events around Umlazi and Durban South.

They catered my daughter's 21st in August — 120 guests, not a single complaint. The lamb biriyani was gone in 20 minutes. Thando and her team are professional, on time, and the food tastes like home.

21st Birthday, Umlazi BB

We used them for our church harvest service. 200 people fed, hot food, beautiful presentation. They even helped us with the hall setup. Best catering decision we've made.

Pastor Bongani Zulu

Church Event, Umlazi M

My husband's lobola — they did the full menu and decor. Guests are still talking about the chicken curry. Worth every cent. Highly recommend.
