Barkat Catering & Events Reviews 6

Placed an order for eid. Went to collect and they had sold my food to someone else leaving me with no food and a house full of guests. No conscious no apology

I used Barkat catering for my wedding many years ago and again now for my sisters wedding and mendi. They have always been exceptional from start to finish. The food was amazing all out guests loved it. I’m sure our guests will be using Barkat in the future. We highly recommend them for any small or large event.
Thank you

Fahad Mohammad is his son, son of Sadia Mohammad (director), Khalil Mohammad (shadow owner), they all are complicit in running a dishonest service, often writing reviews for the company they own. very misleading, just so that they have better reviews if they can stoop to this low, can you imagine how far they can stoop to gain profit from providing you a mediocre service? they are dishonest people, dont waste your money on there frozen offerings.

Attended a large wedding reception end October where they were the caterers. The guests waited so long at the tables for the food that the bar staff

Appalling performance by these caterers on the night, they accepted they did not give good service or even a decent product and offered a percentage refund d of £1000 which the two newly married couple accepted then this catering company turned round and said that they would only give them this if they and all the guests that have complained about the cold food, lack of food, no dessert, etc, retract their review comments. They need to pay this young couple compensation for a bad job done on the night and learn from their mistakes, continual improvement, accept they got it wrong this time and move forward with insight and make things better the next time.

I recently attended a wedding catered for by Barkat catering and I must say the food was absolutely out of this world . Down to the finishing touches everything was elegantly put together and it was evident they take pride in what they do - I would recommend Barkat catering to anybody planning a wedding or event

As a recent bride who had my Walimah catered by Barkat Catering and Events, I must say, it was a huge disappointment. If it hadn’t been for my partner’s family, I would never have booked them.
The planning was a mess. Their staff, or should I say underpaid agency staff, didn’t care about their appearance or how they served. I don’t blame them considering how they were treated by the "head waiter." The kitchen was chaotic—no signs to keep out, and I saw a kid. (apparently the owners son, now chef) stirring large pots, sweating profusely, and staring at my sister-in-law. It was clear he wasn’t a qualified chef. None of the staff wore proper uniforms or gloves.The manager was friendly at first but lied through his teeth. He caused delays despite having our schedule well in advance. My husband mentioned that he was pleasant to deal with initially and that the family had used them before, but things have gone downhill. On the day of the event, he was completely clueless and unhelpful. The food was awful. The curries tasted like they were made with Shan masalas, which my mother-in-law, a great cook, also confirmed. The starters were from frozen packs—lamb seekh kebabs and canapés weren’t made by them. The chicken tikka was dry, and the biryani was the only dish with some flavour. They’re starting a new company, "The Biryani Factory," which makes sense given their focus on just this one dish. I challenge them to prove they don’t use pre-made products and pass them off as their own. They don’t even make their own naan—pathetic for a company claiming to offer authentic Pakistani cuisine. The desserts were as bad as the rest of the meal. The presentation was nonexistent.We should have gone with Spice Village, but we gave in to my in-laws’ loyalty to Barkat. What a monumental disappointment. If you want an awful reception, hire these guys—they’ll make sure you get one.
