Gaurav Anand Caterer

Having Chef Anand was easily the best decision we made for our wedding! Chef and his team were organized throughout the process and worked to create a unique menu that reflected our tastes and the types of food we wanted to taste throughout our wedding. Every guest raved about the food, and I'm still hearing about how good the food was a month later! He not only stepped in when we needed him he became a very good friend during this process. He made our families feel a sense of comfort and gave them the authenticity that they wanted in the menus for all of our events. Chef and his team exude professionalism, kindness, compassion, and uniqueness in every single they execute and do. His team went above and beyond for us, and I'd recommend their team 1000% for any of your event needs.

Chef Gaurav and Abla are simply the best at what they do! Their food is next level - your wedding will be the talk of the century with their catering! Months later our friends are still talking about the food at our wedding, describing it as the best food they've ever had (wedding or not). My personal favorite was the burrata butter chicken, and for others it was the lamb galouti - both melt in your mouth. Chef's creativity in designing unique Indian dishes, that retain the authenticity of the traditional Indian food that everyone loves but with a bit of flair, is second to none. The service and presentation were phenomenal and matched the deliciousness of the food. Finally it was just an absolute pleasure working with both of them throughout the planning process, as we had multiple tastings and each tasting was a night of fun on its own!

It is very difficult to find, as a matter of fact, impossible to find a combination of quality, talent, vision, and compassion but Chef Anand embodies all the above. CGA is a rare entity that not only provides quality catering but also executes it with perfection. The biggest quality of Chef Anand and his team is to personalize the events as their own and deliver at that level. His service is unparalleled in this industry. With many other catering companies, I have encountered the attitude of “oh this is just another wedding and we have to do our run of the mill stuff” but Chef Anand goes out of this way to provide his own unique vision to every event. He creates a menu to perfectly match your theme and works with the decor/creative team to make the event feel like an enchanting story. His attention to detail right up to the serving spoons and napkins is impeccable. My recommendations for CGA are of the highest regard. All my guests may not remember anything else from the wedding, but definitely remember the food and that’s the kind of impact CGA had on our wedding!

Chef Anand and his team at CGA are quite simply the best catering team out there. I cannot emphasize how thoughtful, kind, and diligent he and his team are in ensuring that your wedding day is perfection. Not only is the caliber of his cooking superb, his imagination, the creativity and individualization with which is dishes are created are unparalleled. Without question, Chef Anand invited my family and I in for multiple tastings of his food so that we could curate the perfect menu. My partner, Eva, and I got married in Detroit, Michigan. Chef Anand and the CGA team brought their equipment (including tandoor ovens) and their team to Detroit and helped make our Sangeet at the Shinola Hotel (Birdy Room) the brightest party ever. Our guests had never experienced Indian food like this before, and there is a reason for that - the unique and brilliant way Chef Anand connected with our guests, blew their minds away with the presentation of our stations and dishes, and made our entire wedding party feel like family is the reason he is the best Chef in town. Beyond his preparation of Indian dishes, Chef Anand is a wizard at cooking fusion dishes, whether it is Mexican cuisine, Chinese cuisine, or Italian cuisine. If you want to wow your guests with beautiful food of the highest caliber, Chef Anand and the CGA team is the perfect caterer for you. Every single guest came up to us at the end of the night and said that this is the best Indian food they have ever tasted. Lucky for me, I have been eating at Chef's restaurants for 13 years now - but for our guests, this was a treat like no other. More than the quality of services that Chef Anand provides, Chef Anand took care of Eva and I like we were his own family. Throughout the event, I got to taste all of the amazing food only because Chef Anand personally handed me each item his team prepared for me to taste. You cannot expect that with all vendors, but for Chef Anand, this is his baseline. Chef, you will forever be in my family, and I am so grateful for the incredible role your food played in the success of our wedding. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
