I have nothing but amazing things to say about Ambrosia Catering! We hired them for my wedding (October 9th) and they did not disappoint! First of all the food is to die for! Everyone at my wedding was talking about the food literally all night. We did the carving station package and we definitely made the right choice. Second of all, Sherif and his staff and beyond professional and accommodating.
They were very attentive and made all of my guests happy with the full service they offered. If you hire Ambrosia Catering I promise you will not be disappointed. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a caterer. Thank you Ambrosia Catering for helping to make my wedding night as special as it was!

From start to finish, it has been such a pleasure working with Sherif. The food is so delicious and our wedding guests enjoyed it so much that there weren't any left over. Our cake topper was a little too heavy but they immediately stepped in to fix it. Ambrosia Catering is very professional and we will continue to recommend their service to everyone. Definitely great quality with exceptional service!

Sherif did an excellent job coordinating my daughter's wedding and was very responsive when we needed to make minor changes. He delivered on the details and his staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend his services very highly to anyone planning a milestone event.

Exceptional Catering service! I had my wedding in early May which hosted over than 300 guests from all over the USA. As an attorney my expectations were high, Ambrosia Catering exceeded my expectations and more. From the first tasting meeting the Ambrosia staff are very accommodating and professional, with their clean and advanced kitchen facility we were able to come up with a custom made menu within my expected budget. Shereif (the owner) took exceptional care with the food as if it were his own family member's wedding.
More so they provided the beautiful linen and full size bar for the event. With a 3 course meal (entree, mains, and deserts) the food was wonderfully made, Ambrosia provides the best meat cuts and freshest food, they made it the morning of the event which made it taste and last fresh. I received many compliments on how exceptional the food Highly recommend this catering service for any future events! I have already used them twice following my wedding! Thank you Ambrosia and Staff for your great service and food!

Sherif and his team are very responsive to our needs. We recently had an event where the other catering company backed out at the last minute and ambrosia catering came to the rescue. The price charged for the event was reasonable and the quality was very good. I have used ambrosia catering many times over the last four years were events that we have in the Nashville area, and they have not disappointed.
The team at ambrosia is kind, considerate and flexible as well as being very responsive to our specific needs. I highly recommend using ambrosia catering for your upcoming event. I'm sure that once you've use them you will say the same thing as I have.here.
