I lost count of the number of people who told me the beef rending was the best they’d ever tasted. Great curries, lovely people. A true hit. Thank you very much

Zoe Lane25 Sep 2022

Amazing is the best way to describe. Food was gorgeous extremely yummy, everyone of our guests loved it and kept commenting. Would definitely have Banana Leaf at my next function without a doubt. Fabulous!!

Sush4 Oct 2021

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 🙏

Rachel Collins8 Aug 2021

Jamie was absolutely fantastic…. Our guests were overwhelmed and the pie and mash was delicious… will definitely be using the service again as couldn’t fault it! Would highly recommend

Narish14 Aug 2020

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

Fantastic service, good communication throughout, and a lovely team on the day - I would definitely recommend Crocus Paella for your event!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
