THE FOOD GENIE CATERING REVIEWS

We had Lisa from Food Genie cater an event at my office this spring. The food and service was nothing short of amazing. Her croissant BLT's are to die for and the chocolate brownies were delicious. I was so glad there was leftovers because my team and I took the remainders home. Thank you so much for providing such an amazing service Lisa! Sincerely, Gary Jassal, Eye Plus Optometry.

Lisa with The Food Genie Catering company did an amazing job for a private company Christmas party last week held in a personal home. Arrived on schedule, worked efficiently, kept work space clean & tidy, they were quiet yet friendly & paid attention to detail. The roast beef & salmon cooked to perfection. Highly recommend! commend.

I have ordered food genie many times over the years and have loved everything. The flavours are always so fresh and every meal is filling and delicious. A fave of mine is the lemony lentil soup.

OCCASIONAL OCCASIONS CATERING REVIEWS

I have been at two occasions now that Ann has catered and both have been incredible. The appetizers are interesting and flavourful and beautifully presented. Her servers are charming and continually "serving" all the guests with big smiles. The dinner itself was sooooo good. The leek stuffed chicken was moist and tasty, the rice, the sauce, green beans.......what can I say.... it was perfect. When you wake up in the morning and you're still thinking about the dinner, you know it was good. Thank you.

Ann was so easy to work with and so accommodating. I came up from Los Angeles where I live at the last minute and to go into a 14 day quarantine due to Covid-19 pandemic. She kept me well feed, catered to last minute requests and delivered. The food is healthy and she has a wide range of cuisines from around the world from Indian to Mexican as well as vegetarian. Thank you Ann.

Ann and her team recently catered our work's Christmas party - everything was absolutely delicious and the service was exemplary. We would highly recommend their services.

HEAVENSCENT CATERING REVIEWS

Heavenscent Catering provided a buffet style dinner for our 80+ wedding guests and we could not have been more pleased. They were friendly, prompt and organized, but more importantly the food was incredible. Everyone was commenting on how delicious each option was and I heard more than once "it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding". There were lots of cleared plates and many guests went back for additional helpings, myself included. Cooking for dozens of people is a large task especially since our venue didn't have a proper kitchen, however, neither quality or taste was sacrificed. I cannot say enough good things about this dinner.

As usual…lunch was a great success. We had a new staff member attend the meeting…he was skeptical about all the “hype” he had heard about how good lunch would be. He is now a believer!! Thanks again, Craig.

Excellent, thank you so much! And again, an absolutely delicious lunch. All of the staff loved it and those with allergies really appreciated what you did to accommodate them. Thank you.
