We wanted an Indian caterer for our mixed wedding (Indian/non-Indian couple). After narrowing the field to just 3 choices, we had our tastings and loved all the food by Hemant Mathur Catering the most! It was a pleasure to meet Chef Hemant at Saar in NYC for the tasting. We were blown away by the appetizers and entrees. This was in contrast with the other well-known Indian caterers where we had tastings who only seemed to do one or the other well.

In addition to exceptional food, Hemant Mathur Catering was the most flexible of all the vendors in terms of what we wanted for the bar. Furthermore, when rental pricing for certain items (plates, napkins, etc) showed up higher than expected, they worked with us and provided intelligent ways to cut costs (eg, reduced the number of wine glasses since it was only being served at the bar and not needed at every place setting).
On our wedding day, the food was delicious! It was spiced in a way so as to be not too hot for non-Indian guests, but flavorful enough that our Indian guests loved it too. Additionally, for those who didn’t want Indian food, Hemant Mathur was able to provide lasagna as an alternative. All our guests raved about the food -- everyone we spoke with the following week mentioned how much they loved ALL the food!!

A big shout out to the servers who were on top of everything including refilling water, clearing away plates and glasses, and who packed up the leftovers for us (as per our request) so they wouldn’t go to waste. They even helped us load it into our cars.

From selecting menu to understanding details of every dish till the execution on the day was smooth and fantabulous. All they need to know is your and your guest preferences. And since most of my guests were Indian, we did follow our India palate with savory and flavorful dishes.
Most of my guests filled their food plates at least twice or thrice as the food was delicious to death. All I was hearing that food was soulful. And we all know if the guests are fed well and happy about the food then half your job in executing the special occasion is worth it. And not just the taste but the way they serve and the unique fusions in the starters, tasty desserts absolutely synced in with the weather particularly makes it even more appropriate. The one word for the food is 'scrumptious'. I wish I could eat a lot more on my own engagement but I had to keep my lipstick shine on till the end. Last but not the least, your each peny will be worth the spend. I certainly recommend them for catering food for your any special occasions in all kind of gatherings and then thank me later on your experience. Chef Hemant Mathur has magic in his cooking and so does his team is very helpful. I personally dealt with Seema Pai and she made my life so easy with all the planning throughout. Goodluck to the 'Saar team' and many thanks from our side.

Extraordinary! You and your team arranged a spectacular Sangeet. Your team was magnificent. The hors d’oeuvres, the food stations, the setting, the service – could not have been any better. Everything was just perfect (particularly the Dosa Station and the Jalebi Station). Your team (and both of you) are simply the best. I am very grateful and deeply appreciative of all of your help and attention to the details. Having Chef Mathur there overseeing everything was so appreciated.
