I am so glad we chose rara caterers for my daughters christening. Very professional team and chef Pratap goes above and beyond to satisfy your needs and make sure you get best experience ever. Try Rara caterers for any events either at home or outdoors and you won’t be disappointed. And they have their own function room you can book as well. They will always be my first choice if I ever have to cater Indian food that’s for sure. Thank you so much for best food ever as each and every one of our guests loved it and gone for more 🙏

Great service and communication throughout the booking process. I was a little stressed due to the last minute booking for the party but it was handled very professionally. The food was amazing, with a wide variety of food and all set up very nicely especially considering the small space available. My guests all loved the food and the portions were incredibly generous. A lot of people asked for the contact details which is the highest form of praise! If you love Indian food you won’t be disappointed. I’d highly recommend green apple catering. Thank you Pam and team
