Thank you.

My travel partner and I had returned from an 18 day trip to Turkey and decided to throw a party for about 20 friends to show our photos. I found Istanbul Catering online and placed a call to Aydin. Over the course of about a week, we put together a menu of traditional Turkish dishes that would accomodate every diet in our crowd - from vegan to total carnivores.
Of course I ordered mezes galore, but Aydin suggested that he cook the main courses at the event instead of in his kitchen ahead of time, saying that the flavor and temperature would be so much better. That made him more like a private chef than a caterer! When I think of caterer, I think of someone who prepares food ahead and drops it off, or perhaps puts precooked food in your oven to keep it warm. Not Aydin!
Aydin was so much more than a caterer or even a private chef. His way with our guests was so wonderful and there was someone always chatting with him while he cooked and grillled. When the meal was over, he didn't even get to leave because he had become such an integral part of the party by that point.
The food was fresh, fabulous and plentiful. We sent almost everyone home with a "care package" and still had enough for a few more meals. I received calls and emails from nearly every one of my guests raving about the food.
You will not be disappointed. I feel as though I found not only a great caterer, but a new friend as well.

Great, great food. I've had the pleasure of having his catering on a few occasions and it has never disappointed. Having never had Turkish food before I wasn't too sure what to expect, but I was delightfully surprised with every dish. The Sigara Borek especially is a treat that will make you fall in love with Aydin's catering.

I first had the pleasure of enjoying Chef Aydin's food at a private party. I loved it so much that I had him cater the reception at the premiere screening of a film I produced. I think the food was actually a bigger hit than my film! :)
If you enjoy Turkish food, excellent customer service, and very reasonable prices, I highly recommend ICLA.

I have had food from Istanbul Catering numerous times and can say that it is simply some of the best food I have ever had! The owner loves what he does and that love translates to the food in a really beautiful way. The red pepper stuff (sorry guys I don't know what it's called) is incredible with pita bread and on scrambled eggs the next morning. The eggplant dish is exceptional too. The owner will go out of his way to make sure you get exactly what you want and it will be very special. Not like any other party food out there! Call him up and order yourself a unique experience!!
