Istanbul Catering in LA

I’m giving a negative star if it allows me on Unilocal.This catering is a cheat. The bartender was drinking more than the guests and taking a long time for a drink. Even worse they were refilling patron bottle with kirkland cheap tequila. The food was horrible. I’m rating this based on my experience at a friend’s wedding. I will never hire them for any type of catering!!!

Hired Istanbul Catering again for the LA Derby Dolls’ year-​end shebang: again, people exclaiming how delicious everything was, going back for seconds, thirds, and fourths. I also realized I’m willing to eat eggplant — which I usually refuse to eat — in Istanbul’s mixed veggies. Awesome.

food is great!

We catered from Istanbul Catering for my friends babyshower. The food was delicious, authentic, and healthy! Aydin was extremely cooperative, friendly, and professional. We will definitely order from him again!

Istanbul Catering epitomizes Mediterranean hospitality. The owner, Aydin, anticipates needs you never knew you had. His generosity makes you feel like a friend is helping you host, rather than an impersonal employee.
The food is great, fresh and delicious. Lots of vegetarian options which is all I can comment on, But G loved the meat items.
A tomato based dip was even better mixed with rice than on a pita. Add to that the green bean dish and you get a mound of solid satisfaction. Stuffed grape leaves are savory little taste bombs of yumminess. There was a rolled pastry with cheese inside. I don’t know what it’s called, but they disappeared so fast I only got one! If you get these, order twice as many as you think you need.
Definitely would use this company again and again.

I have had the pleasure of enjoying the food from Istanbul Catering on several occasions and must say that it just doesn’t get any better than this!
Aydin, the owner, is so willing to assist with anything. Pricing, dishes, special diets, etc. He is quick to respond and clearly loves what he does.
I could actually eat the spicy, red dip stuff ²⁴⁄₇ — it’s so good! But then… everything is!
I’ve never been able to «taste the love» in anyone’s food like this! Call Aydin and have him cater your event/​party. You will NOT be disappointed!

Amazing food! Too many things to recommend, but the one thing you absolutely must try out is the Sigara Borek, hands down, the most amazing and addicting treat you’ll ever have!
