I cannot recommend Chef Prasad catering highly enough for your wedding! We are close family friends with Uncle Prasad and only trust his expertise in Indian and fusion cuisine. We ...
are regular customers of his restaurant in New Canaan, CT. His food is high quality, presented beautifully, tasty, and his team's service is exceptional. My family also uses Chef Prasad catering for many family events at our home. He never fails to amaze us and impress us with his creations. He tailored an irresistible menu for us that included both Indian and Italian dishes as we had a multicultural wedding celebration. Our wedding was in 2024 and we and all of our guests are still talking about how incredible the food was and all the options. We used Chef Prasad catering for two of our events, both were completely different and festive in their own way, and fitting to the formality of each event. We had both buffet style and station style dinner services. Chef Prasad made our wedding so special and memorable. Thank you Uncle Prasad & team, we are eternally grateful!
