Reviews of MEDINA CUISINE (Catering)

Janet Maman

For my son’s wedding, we chose the Kosher Kitchen Catering. They are so flexible and easy to work with, thinking of details that we might have overlooked. But they had our guests in the palm of their hands at the appetizers. Everyone was asking who is the caterer?... Can I have their number? Throughout the event, everyone was simply amazed with the food and the professional service staff. Even family members from Paris who are normally very critical of American food had not one complaint. Besides catering for special family events, they also cater office meetings and parties. In addition, they have expanded the line to include Shabbat in a box, and a Thanksgiving menu. I particularly like their menus because they are delicious and healthy. The fruit salad is as beautiful to look as it is to eat. I particularly like the touch of orchids decorating the trays. I highly recommend this cater.

We had a catered dinner on a recent Friday night and everything was delicious from appetizers to soup to entrees! All was cooked to perfection and the chef gave me detailed reheating instructions. Great meal!

The food is always delicious and plentiful. Everyone loved the Chicken Piccata and French Roast.

Medina Cuisine catered our daughter's Bat Mitzvah dinner and lunch for 150 people. The food and service were excellent. Of those guests who did comment about the food, they were expressed in superlative terms. David Green

Being in the business for a number of years this group works very hard on customer service at there events. I would strongly recommend Madina cuisine full service kosher parties.

We recently used Medina Cuisine caterer for our wedding. The food was delicious and a celebration to the palate! The truth is that I ate Medina Cuisine food in many different occasions and it was clear to me that I'll use their services once the occasion arises. I did & it was a delightful experience! The food and the service were outstanding. I highly recommend them and definitely will use them in the future! Thank you Michael Medina

The Kosher Kitchen Catering Co. / Medina Cuisine catered my business trips to the DC/VA area. Each time, I've had a wonderful experience! Each meal is thoughtfully planned with my likes/dislikes in mind, as well as special requests — such as, something easy to travel with. All of the dinner are plated nicely, and look appropriate to be served next to freshly-plated, non-kosher restaurant fare. To make things even easier, delivery is an optoin. Honestly, I do't know what I'd do without The Kosher Kitchen; they make everything so simple! If you're in town and are looking for kosher catering or business meals, this is the place to call.

I would highly recommend Medina Cuisine. We used them as the caterer for our wedding, and we were highly satisfied with the quality of the food, the level of professionalism, and the degree of flexibility. We had a dairy/vegetarian wedding, and were worried about finding a kosher caterer that could do that well. Michael assured us that they did dairy events all of the time, and he created a sample menu for us. From there, we provided our feedback to determine exactly what we wanted for the wedding. We wanted to provide our own alcohol and to work with a separate rentals vendor to help keep costs down, and Medina was more than willing to work with all of our vendors to provide us with what we needed. At every turn, they were accommodating and honest. In the end, we were quite pleased with everything that they provided, and were glad to have them participate in such an important day.

I have used The Kosher Kitchen several times and have always been pleased. The Moroccan inspired dinner was a special treat. They have also done big functions and the food was yummy and beautifully presented. The wait staff is first rate. Planning an event is easy and I look forward to using them many times in the future.

I have worked with The Kosher Kitchen for several events at my home. They have been great to work with, efficient, friendly and timely. Michael Medina has great staff from arranging the evenings to the delivery and presentation. The food is always very tasty, using creative recipes. I will be using them again.

We used Medina for our wedding. I wish our review of Medina could be more enthusiastic. We had such a joyous wedding, and everyone was happy with the food. But while the food was quite good, their business practices leave much to be desired. The day-of service was generally good, but there were clearly issues with communication with the bar staff. Despite the fact that there was plenty of beer at the event (we even took 6 cases home), the bartenders apparently didn’t know where they were and told some guests that we were out. Additionally, my wife was asked what one of our signature cocktails was when she requested it, despite the fact that we had provided recipes months ahead and made signage for the day of. These minor service issues weren’t a big deal, but the frustrating and unprofessional experience we had with Medina’s billing was. Before the wedding, we received a "final" invoice from Medina only after emailing 5 times over the course of a month, which we promptly paid. After the wedding, they emailed stating that we actually owed about 15% more than we'd already paid. After much back and forth, we established that more than $500 of the extra charge was an arithmetic error, another portion was explicitly included in what we had already paid (so they "graciously" waived it), and part was "overtime" fees for staff that they somehow hadn't anticipated, even though the event ran according to the schedule we'd provided over a month ahead of time. They refused to compromise, meet us halfway, or provide a discount based on the fact that we'd budgeted based on the "final" invoice they'd provided. We are certain we did not have to pay this extra fee according to the contract, which required that we be notified of overtime charges ahead of time, but decided to pay up to be done dealing with Medina. Unfortunately, our experience really left a sour taste in our mouth after a really joyous day. Bottom line from our experience with Medina: food is good, but don't trust that invoices are final, clear, or even mathematically accurate.

We have used Medina Cuisine many times and the results are always great. Good portions and high quality combined with beautiful presentation. And those Moroccan pasties! Great Kosher food. Highly recommended for any event, even if you are not Kosher.
