Booked for Birthday party

We truly enjoyed a magnificent feast prepared by Chef Ausra and their exceptional team. Each of the many dishes was executed to absolute perfection — delicious and beautifully balanced in flavor and presentation. The staff was wonderfully efficient and discreet and the whole experience was flawless. Every guest left singing the chef’s praises.

Booked for Celebration

Pink Diamond Catering - Grace, Chef Praveen and team were wonderful to work with. Grace is really lovely and designed a menu perfect for our needs and event. On the night, they were professional, friendly, reliable and food was outstanding - everyone commented on how amazing and delicious it was. The team were very organised, neat and on time and I have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them. Heartfelt thanks again. Chellex

Booked for Anniversary

Veronika supplied us with a delicious and excellent quality buffet for our anniversary party. We had some dietary needs but Veronika was more than happy to accommodate these for us. The amount of food provided was more than enough - we were extremely well fed! Highly recommended and would definitely book again. Thanks Veronika!

Booked for Christmas party

The food was amazing and very well presented. I think it was so good that we actually ran out of food and in hindsight I would have ordered more food. The portion sizes are just about enough per person. We had a lot more people attend so should have ordered more food. I myself had a few of the canapés and thought they were so tasty. I highly recommend them and if we do another event next year I’ll be back albeit ordering for the full amount of people rather than under catering as the event was so popular. Thanks for contributing to making the event a success!

Booked for Corporate Function

Nafi, owner of Indimax Caterers, was extremely organised and professional. He made excellent suggestions ahead of time and brought a wealth of knowledge to our event. Presentation of the food was excellent and everyone enjoyed it. He even trained our waiting staff and ensured that our event went smoothly. Literally could not have done it without him and will definitely use him again.
