IDK Culinary Experiences

This place showcases itself as an indian and mexican fusion food place. The menu was tempting and i was excited to try this new place via the catered lunch at office last week but i was so let down :(Menu items:1. Butter chicken burrito - 3/5 loved the idea of it but it was so not butter chicken. It was basically a spicy white chole (indian garbanzo beans gravy) and rice burrito with scanty shredded chicken pieces thrown in between. I didnt taste anything like "butter chicken" in it. It was palatable but maybe they can just rename it to what they r stuffing inside it. It wasspicy 4/5 for me so if u cant handle heat, dont order it. U might get confused with seeing the name "butter chicken" but its nothing like that.2. Paneer bhurji burrito - this was yellow turmeric and black pepper minced paneer (indian cottage cheese) with onions and spiced rice :( no taste at all. Super boring 1/53. Chips and salsa (green and red) were decent4. Gulab jamun - were average and good. Nothing out of the world but definitely decent to finish of with so i will rate it as 3/5I wish they improved their quality of ingredients as the paneer and rice quality was not up to the mark.

We hired Nicolana and Chef Jai for our December 2022 wedding, and they were FANTASTIC!! They provided us with an amazing tasting a few months in advance, and were able to reduce the spice level to our perfect match. Chef Jai even provided a few extra gulab jamun for my kids during the tasting, which was so kind of him!! They were super communicative throughout and showed up to the venue on time. The food was delicious and stayed warm throughout the event, and everything was exactly how I wanted it! They even braved the Level 2 storm that occurred on my wedding day! Thank you so much for making the day the best ever!

I'm an executive assistant for a c-level tech executive, so I've done a million events from 4 attendees to 3,000 attendees. With many caterers, they will jump through hoops for your large events, but won't even talk to you for your small events. We recently had a small 7 person brunch and lunch event at my boss' home in Atherton. I spoke to a handful of different caterers and they didn't seem to understand the white glove service I was looking for. I felt so good after chatting with Nicolana from IDK. She really took the time to listen to what I was looking for, and went out of her way to deliver for me. We did a fancy mimosa brunch and wine paired lunch. Both came with multiple dishes and the team LOVED it. We opted for a fusion Indian theme and they brought a tandoori and the food and flavors were amazing. We were so impressed with the wine pairing as well, since Indian spaces are difficult to pair with. Once the event was done, they cleaned our kitchen and dining area and made it look even better than when they first started. Thank you so much Nicolana and Chef Jai. We love you guys, your mission of fresh local ingredients, and your level of care and service. We will be using you for future events, large and small!

Never had IDK Eatz before but definitely recommend!The food is cooked and has a lot of flavor.If you're looking for some good Indian food, I highly recommend giving this place a shot!

We used IDK Eatz to cater food for a birthday party and were very happy with the spread. Firstly, what drew me to them was their presentation and menu that is out of the box. Having eaten so much indian food in the bay area we loved the creative menu options from IDK. Jai is great and gave us suggestions based on menu and number of people. The staff that worked were kind and lovely to work with. Reservations, and their co-ordinating staff was on point with communication. We went home as very happy hosts, and will highly recommend IDK!

We ordered from IDK Eatz for our son's first birthday. Since the theme was Mexican fiesta, it was only fitting that we order fusion tacos from IDK. Chef Jai knows what he is doing, the fusion tacos were on point. His Cholae were probably the best I had in my life! The whole combination of tortilla with cholae and butter chicken/ paneer went really well and was delicious. Our guests were so happy with the food. The service was prompt and communication with Nicolana was easy. We are sure going to cater food from IDK Eatz again.

We got dinner catered from IDK Eatz for a holiday party (pre-COVID-19). Best experience ever! Right from being very proactive, very clear, and flexible about the menu, to excellent communication before and after the party; excellent logistical support (prompt arrival, setup, and no-rush on picking up after-). I saved the best for last - the food! Outstanding fusion of different cultures; just what we expected and wanted. Extremely tasty!We highly recommend for anyone wanting to have a party experience you will really enjoy. Thanks agin, IDK-Eatz/Jai!!!

With our concerns with dining outside due to COVID, we wanted to replicate an upscale restaurant dining experience at home. We invited Chef Jai to cook dinner for the two of us for our anniversary. Chef Jai was very friendly and give us the dining experience we were looking for. Chef Jai prepared and served us a very contemporary Indian fusion 6 course meal. He created multiple tapa style appetizers including veg dumpling, veg tulips, sag makki canapes and sliders. The main course was Indian fusion tacos with Mexican fair and finally fig cardamom yogurt as dessert. Every item served was deliciously prepared and tastefully served. We have eaten Indian fusion food at other places but always Indian fusion food implied mellowed down flavors. Chef Jai brings the full kick of Indian flavors to fusion food, which we very much enjoyed.We are thankful to Chef Jai for coming to our house even during COVID situation and giving us a memorable dining experience.

We had our wedding on May 6 and 7th and although every other vendor we used was fantastic, IDK was a really a disaster and many guests and ourselves really feel like they missed the mark completely. They made many promises and failed to deliver as they promised and reassured us. In fact, when we had a follow up call with them, they told us they had missed the mark and had fired staff as a result of poor performance during the event. They have also been banned from ever going back to the venue forever given their poor performance.There were multiple problems on both days of the event.(1) Food was served hours late. (over 3 hours after it was supposed be served)(2) Bar was not ready on time and didn't start serving until hours late.(3) Staff had no idea what was happening and complained about the lack of organization from IDK. Even IDK's staff complained about the organization.(4) The food we ordered was not accurate. (5) Food ran out so 50% of the people who attended did not get to eat.(6) Food was not put out for eating fast enough so people could eat it.(9) Food was not prepared well. Many dishes were raw and not prepped.Because of the poor service this caterer is banned from the property and will never be able to caterer for the event space.If you are looking for an unreliable disaster who does an awful job at communicating and won't return phone calls and emails this is the a good fit. They ruined the best day of our life and our guests are still complaining as this what the remember for our big day.

This is a very inefficient and bad catering company that does not know how to handle clients. I did not enjoy working on a quote with them, and I will not recommend that you hire them. I have talked to many catering companies in the past, and I clearly I saw the difference with these guys.Jai & Nicolana sent me a quote initially for a chosen menu. Although their business on Google maps says they are open 24 hours, they are actually almost never open for further discussion. After the initial quote they remained very unresponsive to my call/text/email. Then there seemed to be an abrupt breakdown in communication, despite me being very courteous with them. I also found Jai to be angry/frustrated on the phone when answering basic questions, and came across as someone who does not know the meaning of courtesy. He also did not know how to delegate questions to his other staff, if he is busy. All in all a horrible experience working with them. I will never hire them again, and I will not recommend that you do either.
