Jalsa Catering & Events - Santa Clara, California

We catered food from Jalsa for our daughters 1st birthday. The food arrived on time and the setup was done very nicely. The dishes were unique and amazing. All the guests enjoyed the food and everyone was impressed with the dishes. Chef Vittal was very nice to work with. I definitely recommend Jalsa for Catering.

We hired Jalsa to cater our three day, Indian fusion wedding in October 2022 for 175+ people. Food was the #1 priority for my family, and we booked Jalsa before we even booked our venue!

Jalsa's food is incredible. It's tasty, fresh, innovative, and pleasing to all palates. Reshmi is flexible about crafting a menu that is custom for your event and a full tasting is included, so that you can make sure you like what is on their catering menu for the year.

Getting a hold of them via email was sometimes challenging (try giving Reshmi a call instead) but they did a wonderful job on all three days of our wedding events. We got compliments about the food on each day, as they were able to do a superb job delivering authentic flavors with vegetarian South Indian food for our religious ceremony lunch, street food for our outdoor Sangeet, and traditional North Indian buffet for our reception. Even their desserts are very creative and different, with lots of fusion flair. Their staff knows what they are doing, and are professional and on time. Overall, I would hire Jalsa again for future events.

Jalsa catered our Indian welcome party during our wedding. They accommodated our specific requests, far away venue, and more, and we couldn't be happier that they did. We received many, many compliments on the food from both Indians and non-Indians which was great to hear. We particularly appreciated the attentiveness of the onsite staff who made sure we, as the bride and groom, had what we needed and got to eat. Thank you Jalsa!

Loved the end to end experience working with Jalsa! They catered for a wedding and loved how the service was- from deciding the menu, tasting, quick communications, on time delivery at the venue, delivery of hot pots and pickup services.
Definitely recommend.

We chose Jalsa to cater our wedding reception, and it was a fantastic decision for our blended celebration. Our morning ceremony was a traditional Hindu wedding with a conventional North Indian lunch, while the evening reception was contemporary. Jalsa perfectly complemented our evening by offering a menu that, while influenced by Indian cuisine, incorporated elements from other cuisines, making it unique and reflective of us as a couple. Both our families and friends loved it, and it was easy to accommodate vegetarian preferences.

Specific highlights from Jalsa included the delicious appetizers, the fresh tandoor oven naan, and the unique dessert options. Working with Jalsa was smooth and straightforward. We began planning nine months, and their menu options and pricing were clear and easy to navigate. As the event approached, we met with them and our coordinator to ensure every detail was covered, from rentals to specific food selections.

On the day of the event, the service was outstanding. Despite the hectic schedule, the Jalsa team worked diligently to serve food and drinks and clean up afterward. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Jalsa for any special occasion.

Jalsa catering delivered impeccable dining services for our son's two day wedding event in April.

Chef Vittal and his team were easy to work with and helped create delectable and eclectic menus for our events. We requested all vegetarian dishes for the celebrations, and they amazed us with varied and flavorful menu options for both days!

Our guests relished the culinary delights and raved about the zestful and festive spreads. Together with our family and friends, we had a wonderful time celebrating our son and daughter in law on their special day. Jalsa catering helped make our events truly memorable and successful!

Thanks Chef Vittal and Jalsa team!

Jalsa catered my Spring 2023 wedding and reception. The food was absolutely wonderful. We got so many compliments on the food from our guests, the desserts in particular were a stand out, but really everything was amazing. Reshmi from Jalsa was fairly responsive and was very easy to communicate with, she provided lots of helpful inputs on the menu. However, the general team was not very responsive over email, and this did end up causing a lot of stress before the wedding as they didn't provide their rental requirements until the very last minute. Would still overall recommend them for food, and if you are not getting responses over email, talk to Reshmi directly.

We had the pleasure of ordering food from Jalsa for our recent event, and we were thoroughly impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the dishes and remarked that it was the best food they had experienced in the Bay Area. If you are looking for catering services, I would highly recommend Jalsa.
