  Aunty’s Kitchen Exceeded Our Expectations in EVERY Way

  We had a pretty unique Pakistani wedding at an art gallery in Ottawa a few weeks ago. One big issue with Ottawa is a major lack of South Asian vendors, with those in the city a) charging a lot of money, and b) not producing particularly great food. So we reached out to Zahid and Mohika at Aunty’s Kitchen, to see whether they would be willing to travel to Ottawa for the wedding, which they agreed to do for a tremendous price. They also supplied the rentals for our flatware and linens, which reduced the need for additional vendors. Taken as a whole they saved us A LOT of money versus a local vendor, but the best part of it all was the food, which was incredible. So much so that we still have people messaging us just to talk about how great the food was. They offered an incredible variety of dishes, and everything was just expertly prepared - even my very picky momma was floored by the quality of each dish. They arranged a local kitchen to do all the prep work, and prepared beautiful signage for the buffet, the entrance to the buffet and each individual seat. And on top of all of that they were a dream to work with - Zahid and Mohika treated us like family, checking in on us on the days leading up to the event and on the day of, and even after the wedding. They are simply good people, and people you can trust to do an incredible job with the menu on the most important day of your life. We simply cannot recommend Aunty’s Kitchen enough. It’s a tall task to drive almost 1,000km round trip, but they did it and gave us a meal to remember.

  We had a great experience!

  Our experience catering with Aunty's Kitchen was great! I spoke to Zahid regarding our order, and the service was professional, timely, and flexible! The food tasted great, and the value for the money was great too.
  We look forward to using their services again. Thank you Aunty's Kitchen for a great experience!

  I Catered My Wedding Reception With Aunty's Kitchen And I Have No Regrets

  It was a difficult task for the team to figure out the correct loading and unloading area for my venue because of management restrictions and whatnot but Aunty's Kitchen's team was very flexible to find way to work around it and give us an amazing experience. All my guests and me as well loved the food. There were absolutely no complaints.
  
  The communication for the event was really great. Zahid and his second in command, Harnoor, treat your event as if their own. Meaning they are there to find solutions with you and help you throughout the process. So please trust in them and enjoy your event.
  
  Hats off to Harnoor and the 2 waiters at my Wedding Reception. They were absolute MVPs!

  Wedding at Madison Greenhouse and Whispering Springs

  We had 2 major wedding events and hired aunty's kitchen for both due to their variety of food options catering to south asian, middle eastern, and western cuisine. Everything on both events was handled gracefully and on time. Several of our guests particularly told us that they really enjoyed the food. The table settings were also just how we wanted them (even better). Everyone on their team was organized and super responsive.

  May wedding at Madison greenhouse

  We had a big wedding at Madison Greenhouse venue, and selected Aunty’s Kitchen for full service In May 2024. We have nothing but praises for Aunty’s Kitchen and Zahid! From the moment we had the tasting, we were given a great experience and the service went well without any issues. Zahid (the owner) was present at meetings and followed up with us through text message/phone during the year that we planned the wedding. We’ve had food that was warm the entire wedding and we can’t stop getting compliments from how tasty it all was. I’d recommend them any day and looking forward to visiting their Mississauga location for some more food!

  You will have absolutely nothing to worry about if you let them take care of your event!

  I dont know where to begin. The food is obviously delicious! Everyone absolutely loved the food, Especially the chicken! We got so many compliments from our guests, and many were even asking which restaurant it is so they can go. The team is very organized and efficient! I forget everyone's name, but it was I believe, Mohika, Pranjal, and another lovely lady. Everything was taken care of before I could even say anything. Drinks were constantly served. i 200% recommend the mocktails! I have so much to say but the bottom line is, if you choose them for catering, theres definitely nothing you need to worry about other than being present in the wedding itself.

  Exceptional service and food for our wedding event

  We asked Aunty's Kitchen to help us out for our wedding event in May 2024 and right from the start, they were helpful and always responsive when it came to answering questions. With our unique layout, Aunty's Kitchen was able to accommodate our catering menu and made the delivery as smooth as possible. It was very easy working with Aunty's Kitchen.

  The Finest South Asian caterer in the GTA, hands down! - Scrumptious, wholesome, and personalized service with a smile. 

  Pinky and I sincerely thank Aunty's Kitchen events catering team for their hard work and enthusiasm in our son's and his new bride's traditional homecoming reception dinner. 
  
  The guests at our event were predominantly Sri Lankan Canadians and visitors from overseas. They all felt the food resembled their food back home and enjoyed the lavish buffet, not to mention the dessert corner and the tea/coffee station. 
  
  From our initial consultation months ago with Zahid to the food sampling/tasting session, the actual event to the cleanup was thorough, and everyone involved demonstrated professionalism and dedication to wholesome, real food. 
  
  The team, especially Zahid and later their event manager Mohika, was a pleasure to work with and was always attentive to our exacting needs. It was a relief having a knowledgeable company looking after our event, knowing they fully understood our requirements and could deliver an unforgettable experience for our guests.
  
  Aunty's Kitchen is your only one-stop-shop for South Asian event catering, and highly recommended. 
  
  Priyantha & Pinky Amarasinghe

  Best pakistani food catering for your wedding!

  Zahid and the Auntys kitchen team were phenomenal. The professionalism, complimentary taste testings (full 5-6 course meal at their restaurant), willingness to do a site venue tour, I could go on. Zahid was so accomodating and professional. I had a barn estate wedding and auntys kitchen is one of the FEW desi caterers that were willing to work with a barn venue without the need for a kitchen. Their food was fantastic, appetizers were made fresh on site and highly recommend the mojitos.
  
  The staff service was nonstop throughout the night. Not once did a guest have to wave them down for appetizers.
  
  They also worked with me in terms of plating style to ensure it went with my decor and theme/vision.
  
  Everything with Auntys kitchen was seamless and Zahid did not forget a single detail. He always brought up things that I may have forgotten.
  
  Honestly, 0 regrets hands down and I am recommending them as a caterer for any desi/non-desi wedding.
