Chef Faryal was amazing to work with. She was able to accommodate a last minute request and executed flawlessly. The food came out very good and everyone raved about it. I’d certainly use Aroma again.

The food Chef Faryal provided at my baby shower was absolutely delicious. We spoke about some of the food I desired, and the budget that I wanted to stay within, and she exceeded my expectations. The flavors were incredible, there was literally no leftovers by the end of the night and she provided extra food to ensure that all of my guests had plenty to eat. When I say the pans were licked clean, I mean it. The meatballs, the sliders, the pasta, the dip, it was all phenomenal. I definitely suggest coming to her for your catering needs, SHE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!

Chef Faryal was amazing to work with. She immediately engaged to help me work through a concept. Was prepared with all that we talked about and trained and collaborated with me with building out a menu concept. I really enjoyed working with her - she was supportive, kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful and super efficient. Absolutely worth the investment!

Excellent service from Aroma
We ordered dinner for Christmas Day evening - arrived on time, beautifully presented, delicious food and enough for leftovers.
Would highly recommend Aroma catering.
