Mazzadar Afghan Catering

When we were looking for a caterer for an Afghan inspired event at our home, we found that there were few options out there. I was encouraged to reach out to Ali Seraj. From the start, Ali’s approach to Afghan cooking was top notch. He immediately began talking about grass-​fed meats and organic ingredients — a reflection of his commitment to create food utilizing the highest quality ingredients. Ali kept saying «You have never tasted Afghan food like mine before». I thought he was a confident chef letting me know I had made the right choice in hiring him.
It was not until I tasted my first bite of his OUTSTANDING food, that I really understood what he meant. I have grown up eating Afghan food and have a discerning palate, but I really have NEVER eaten food as delicious as Ali’s. The complexity of flavors, the nuanced layering of spices and the overall «wow» factor with every bite illustrated the difference between the talents of a chef versus a cook. Ali Seraj is a remarkable chef, a true master of Afghan cuisine.
Most of our guests were non-​Afghans who attend incredible events with fantastic food regularly, days after the event, we were still getting emails from guests dreaming about the dishes. If you are looking for an unforgettable Afghan meal, look no further. You get what you pay for, and in this case, spending a small amount more meant our guests enjoyed the highest quality ingredients and a meal that literally could be served to royalty!
