Food Critic
“I placed a big order for 20 people with them yesterday and everything was amazing! Everyone loved the food and the menu. When I went to pick up my order, everything was perfectly packed, with napkins and cutlery. It took us a couple of hours to eat the food, but everything was still fresh and delicious when we did! Impressive! They were also all very kind. Pawel was very friendly and enthusiastic! Would recommend!”
