Had the absolute best experience with BKC - the utmost professionalism, quick response, easy communication, etc etc. They made my 30th birthday truly unforgettable and the staff were so friendly and professional and cooperative. I was afraid of booking someone not local to NJ especially with the recent weather but they were super reliable, showed up early and were ready to go for my event when I needed them. Absolute perfection and no complaints!

Our experience with Shawana was wonderful. She provided a delicious meal for our party and we received many compliments on a number of the dishes served. We felt that her menu provided a very nice variety for our guests.

This was my first event I have ever thrown. I was worried that I would not be able to find a reasonably priced catering company that could pass my tough taste buds. Brooklyn Kitchen was professional, answered all of my questions promptly and professionally. They were diligent and worked hard to achieve my vision.
The food indeed SURPASSED my expectations as well as my guests! I ordered the silver package for 20 people. They confirmed all details including allergens, utensils, and time of arrival. They arrived 20 minuets early (ALWAYS A GOOD THING) and ensured the quality of food met my expectations. Next time I hope to book for a larger party and this time add on the serving option instead of buffet!
THANK YOU BKC!

This catering drop off was for my niece College Graduation. Brooklyn Catering DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! I wasn’t there but my family said the food was delicious—-so good. They could not stop raving about it. It was a success. Booking from AZ and never tasting their dishes- I was a little nervous. However, their communication and warmth during this process was exceptional. I felt totally comfortable. We have all agreed that Brooklyn Catering will be our forever go to when in NY for events. Thank You

I threw a catered birthday party, and upon signing up with Thumbtack, Brooklyn Kitchen got back to me in the hour. Throughout the entire process, their responsiveness was always immediate and thorough, anytime I had a question, and we were even able to set up a call to discuss the catering. The food was delivered promptly and ready to present/serve, friends raved about the wings at the party and the NEXT DAY. Highly recommend.
