Common questions

What corporate planners ask us first.

What areas of NYC do you cater?
We cater across all five NYC boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — plus select venues in nearby New Jersey. An out-of-borough fee applies for locations outside Manhattan; we'll note it in your quote.
What is the minimum order?
Our order minimum is $400. There is no set guest count minimum — the $400 threshold covers small teams up to larger gatherings depending on menu choice.
How far in advance should I book?
2 days is our minimum lead time. We can often accommodate rush orders for smaller groups — reach out and ask. For weddings and large events, book 2–4 weeks ahead when possible.
Do you offer Halal, vegan, and gluten-free options?
Yes. Halal meats where applicable, extensive vegan options, and gluten-free selections across the menu. Just let us know your dietary needs in your inquiry and we'll build accordingly.
Do you provide drop-off catering, staffed service, or both?
Both. We offer drop-off catering for offices and casual events, and full staffed service (chefs, servers, setup, cleanup) for weddings, private dinners, and formal occasions.
What's a typical price range per person?
Corporate lunches typically start around $18–25 per person. Private events with staffed service are quoted per event based on menu, guest count, format, and staffing needs.
What types of events do you cater?
Corporate lunches, office parties, holiday celebrations, weddings, birthdays, private dinners, and cultural or community events. If it involves food and people, we're in.
Do you do pop-ups and chef collaborations?
On a limited basis. Catering is our primary focus, but we occasionally partner with brands and hosts on special events. Reach out to discuss.
How do I get a quote and confirm a date?
