And for authentic flavours, Urban Spices in Balmain offers incredible dishes that showcase bold, aromatic spices and perfectly balanced plates.”
Matt catered my mum’s 70th birthday! The booking process was so easy and communication was always swift and clear throughout. The food was delicious on the night! With exceptional bar staff and waitstaff. Highly recommend!
“They have been a great success and we look forward to hosting a few more with Matt!”
We just had another great event with beautiful food and service by Matt and the team. We have held some family and friend lunches for my elderly parents over the past 6 months. They have been a great success and we look forward to hosting a few more with Matt!
“Could not recommend him more”
Matt was excellent! We were very happy with his catering for our big birthday event. He was friendly, easy going and flexible. Complete professional with great service and a friendly presence. Could not recommend him more.
“The food was beautifully presented, was fresh and delicious”
We loved your catering for a birthday party we were invited to. The food was beautifully presented, was fresh and delicious. The lamb backstraps were the highlight for me, great quality of lamb and cooked to perfection. And the best part was that you were very personable, friendly and a joy to chat to.
“We had Mat cater my father’s 80th birthday with 40 guests”
We had Mat cater my father’s 80th birthday with 40 guests. The location at Bundeena’s wasn’t the handiest and we had some issues with weather but Mat and his team managed the whole process flawlessly. They were calm, efficient and the food was restaurant quality delicious. We felt incredibly looked after and recommend them highly.
“He got glowing reviews from everyone”
Matt helped me host an at home lunch with my extended family for my son’s first birthday. He was on time, meticulous with food prep, organised (in my very tiny and old kitchen), and cooked a wonderful meal. He got glowing reviews from everyone. I look forward to having Matt again for his degustation menu:).
