My passion in life is all about food! I love eating and trying out different world cuisines. I am an Indian who has a lot of cultural background and of course, our food is now recognised all over the world.
My recipes have passed down many generations and so I not only cook authentic home cooked food but also going back to basic traditional food.

Jaisri was nothing but friendly, professional and accomodating. She catered for our Christmas party in Kensington for 20 people.
Jaisri and her wonderful husband delivered the food very hot and securely wrapped in foil trays with description cards for each tray. The food was amazing and such great value for money, our vegan guests were very happy with the amount of options they could have.
We will definitely look at booking Awesome Aunty for future events.

Very happy that I dealt with awesome aunty for a last minute divali party of about 25 people which included 10 teenagers.
Jaisri was most accommodating to all of my requests and delivered the food all foiled wrapped neatly and in heated food bags which kept the freshly cooked food further fresh.
The food was cooked without any additional oil floating and the Indian spices were perfect and adapted well for our guests.
The biggest compliment I can write about is that my picky 17 year old who is not a great fan of Indian food has decided that awesome aunty will have to cater for his 18th birthday do!

Debbie
Catering
I work for a large NHS Trust in central London and needed catering for an event at short notice. I came across Awesome Aunty on this site, spoke them by phone and placed an order for Indian food. Jaisri was amazing and communicated with me regularly right up to the event. Despite my confusing instructions re delivery address, she managed to find the right building to drop off the food. The food arrived hot, was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it (the leftovers were taken home by our guests which was great). I would absolutely recommend Awesome Aunty and will definitely use again. A big thank you to Jaisri for effectively communicating with me throughout the process and for her patience and professionalism! More...

Homestyle cooking. Like your Mum makes if your mum's a great cook. Nothing too fancy (although we didn't ask for that so maybe fancy is an option? ), just wholesome and honest and super tasty. Quantity = way too much so plenty to eat next day More...
Reply from Awesome Aunty
Thank you so much. We like to serve food that's cooked from our heart to the soul. Glad you had leftovers for the next day!

Ordering from Awesome Aunty has been the best decision ever! We got the Western Menu for our office Christmas party and I genuinely have to say, the food was AMAZING. The chicken was cooked to perfection, the fried shrimp wow and the sauce that came with it made it even better. Big big thank you to Jaisri, the owner, delivered the food herself and made our Christmas party special! Can only recommend. More...

Awesome Aunty were contacted the day before our event as our catering company (ServitUp) cancelled on us. They were amazing in catering (no pun intended) to a rather stressful client and delivered amazing food (too much to be honest). Would highly recommend.

Aunty was definitely awesome. She recently catered for my retirement party and was always quick, professional and very personable in communications and negotiaons on arrangements. Her food was delivered exactly on time and was absolutely delicious, including requested vegan and vegetarian options. Thank you so much Jaisri and your team, you helped make a special Day stress free. Your food was delicious! More...

Awesome Aunty = Amazing! 🌟
I had the pleasure of coming across Awesome Aunty for a catering package to celebrate my belated milestone!
Jaisri was a pleasure to work with and nothing was too much to ask. I was able to choose items for the buffet to cater for 44people, had options for vegetarians and diabetics too. Whenever I had a query, I was able to reach out & had a response in a timely manner. A week before the party we had a mini check-in to finalise on the menu, confirm times & I was reminded of what cutlery I may need to serve the food.
Delivery on the day was perfect. It arrived on time, the food was still hot and absolutely delicious. All guests had at least 2-3 rounds & none went to waste.
My menu consisted of:
~ Masala & Sesame Chicken Wings
~ Lamb Sheesh Kebabs
~ Vegetable Samosas
~ Butter Chicken
~ Masala Chana (Chickpeas)
~ Jeera (Cumin) Rice
~ Garlic Naan
~ Yoghurt & Mint Chutney
Some of my guests wanted the catering information for any future events they may have, the food was delicious, it was enough for the 44 people & it filled our bellies all night 😊
Thank you Awesome Aunty for being great & honest caterers. I will definitely use your services in the future.
Love always,
Lou

Awesome Aunty is indeed totally awesome! Wonderful Jaisri got back to me so quickly on a VERY last minute catering request. She was kind and unflappable, quick and clear with communications and an amazing cook. The food was just perfect - the Indianised lamb sliders were a particular hit with the guests. Thank you Awesome Aunty!! More...

Rashelle

Absolutely amazing customer service, and the attention to detail and the level of communication made planning effortless. This made for very satisfied staff at the first away day I've had to plan, and no complaints . The detail taken to create 2 menus to choose from, based on a brief telephone call was amazing and exactly what i was hoping for... Thank you Jaisri for making it so easy. The butter chicken was so good with the rice and naan. The Profiteroles sitting in the chocolate mousse had us going for seconds. Finally the additional cost for drinks was worth it for the selection that we received. Will definitely recommend / Use the service again. More...
Reply from Awesome Aunty
Thank you Rashelle! That's very kind of you. It was a pleasure serving you and your colleagues. I'm very happy to hear you all enjoyed the food. You were very easy to work with and so that makes it easier to work with. Thank you once again for choosing Awesome Aunty

Adam
Awesome Aunty provided the team lunches at the company I work for. It made Wednesday lunches something to look forward to. The curries were always spot in in terms of flavour and heat and the Samosas are the best I've ever had. More recently (before the pandemic hit), she started mixing it up for us and doing more fusion dishes, which were incredible and well received. Highly recommend! More...
Tony
A delicious variety of curries (and other dishes). We had food delivered to work and it was always a bonus when we had a few spare so I could indulge in a second helping!
Vikesh
Great quality food at a very reasonable price which is rare. Also great service. 100% would recommend.
Deepak Mehmi
Great service from Awesome Aunty.
Loads of customisable food options to cater for different diets within the office (i.
e. veggie, vegan, gluten free).
Team really loved authentic traditional food, super tasty, one of our favourite team lunch options.
Great value for money considering Central London delivery and always delivered in a timely manner and still piping hot.
10/10 would recommend.

Awesome Aunty has been fantastic to work with, we've had multiple variations of themes and events that we've briefed and had outstanding service on.
We've had Awesome Aunty cater for small teams, clients and a couple of our big company events.
Everything has always been with a traditional Indian twist which everyone has loved.
Always on time and professional, I often recommended Awesome Aunty to other businesses whenever I get the chance.

Extremely Amazing! The only thing that has kept me from ordering more delicious dishes from Awesome Auntie is the pandemic! Great choice of options for social as well as business catering, prompt service, delivered on time and exceptional quality. You cant go wrong! More...

Working with Awesome Aunty was an absolute pleasure! Great service and some real authentic and tasty food. We had a small office even which Jaisri catered for both snacks and plated food. A repeat customer for sure!
What’s your signature dish?
Bombay Duck
An Indo-Zimbabwean inspired recipe! Veg or Non Veg curry & rice with fresh onions, tomatoes & topped with a very special chutney together with Indian vermicelli.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
Personalising flavours according to taste and requirements. Kick off call to discuss menu, constant communication with the client, and ensuring my client gets the same quality food I give my family.
What do you love most about your job?
Cooking and interacting with the clients and making sure the client is comfortable in every sense of the word. Working with them and finding out their needs and where I can advise them on their menu. I always like a challenge!
What inspired you to start your own business?
My family and friends love my food. I have always been told to take my food to another level and make it into a career and let people have a feel of my delicious cuisine.
Why should our clients choose you?
I always want to give the best food to my clients. I like to go that extra mile and give the client my personal touch. My food is served the way I feed my family. I do not compromise on my ingredients. Fresh foods and good quality meats will always be on my menu. My food is not only traditional but authentic too. I feel the traditional Indian food has been lost a little and so that’s what I have brought into my menu.
