We booked Nyama catering for a spitbraai for my son's 21st birthday party on 2 August 2025. Your service s very good. Your chefs arrived on time, they prepared the food on time and everything s delicious. They were also very professional, helpful and friendly. We will definitely recommend you to anyone and will definitely use you again in future. Thank you for your exceptional service.
We regularly use Nyama to cater for our staff lunch. They are always punctual, professional and the food is great. We can just enjoy the meal and trust them to do everything they need to do - catering and cleaning - no management needed from our side.
Nyama Catering truly outdid themselves with the fantastic food they prepared for our function. Every dish s beautifully presented and full of flavor, and it s clear that a lot of care and expertise went into the menu. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food, with many commenting on how really nice and delicious everything s. The quality and taste added so much to the success of the event, and we couldn’t have been happier with the catering provided by Nyama Catering.
I can recommend Nyama Caterers to anyone. They provide a professional service. The information that they sent before the party prepared me for what to expect on the day of the event. Very helpful thank you. Their food s out of this world, all fresh, the lamb (spit braai) s next level delicious. We had cupcakes for dessert, also very lekkerrrr. They served the food on time in a very organised and professional manner.
Their prices were very reasonable.
I can recommend Nyama Catering.
You guys were awesome!!
Thank you!
Everything ran smoothly and on time. Lovely people doing the spit. They were very friendly and helpful and the food s delicious. We were very impressed with the professionalism. We booked this from the US where we currently reside and the process s stress free. I can highly recommend them, for the quality of the food and the great service.
I have used Nyama for the last 28 years on an ad hoc basis and they have always delivered beyond expectation. When I approached then this year )very last minute) they did not hesitate to help and adjust to additional requirements we asked for. They were so friendly while booking and paying and on the two days we held an event for 400 people (per event) they arrived, set up and served without a hitch. All the staff s friendly, helpful and professional.
Now about the food.....I have done too many events to count, at numerous venues and with a variety of food requirements. Some have been good and others okay. But in all the years the staff we served have only complained about the food. This year with Nyama, I got countless complements on the two event days and s and messages for a few days following the event and it s all about the food and service.
Thank you to Nyama and your staff. I put my neck out for vouching for you this year and you went above and beyond. I am somewhat popular at the office at the minute.
Thank you to Danie, Bongani and my man Luck. All the staff s great, but you three gents are my super stars that made me look good as the organizer of the food for our end year function this year.
We recently used Nyama Catering for my daughter’s wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service s exceptional. The team s professional, punctual and attentive, and ensured everything ran smoothly.
The food s outstanding—well presented, full of flavor, and enjoyed by every guest.
They worked seamlessly with the event schedule and made sure everything s ready on time without any stress on our side. It truly felt like they cared about making the day special.
Thank you to the whole Nyama team, for helping make my daughter’s wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a catering service that combines quality, professionalism, and heart, look no further!
