I recently had the pleasure of hiring Riki to cater for 30 people, and I can confidently say the experience exceeded every expectation — including the impossibly high ones.
The food s nothing short of spectacular. Riki catered generously enough that we could have squeezed in five extra guests without anyone noticing, and the quality s consistent from first dish to last — right down to the potatoes, which deserve a special mention of their own.
Now, I should note that my judges were not easy. My parents made the trip from Durban armed with over 50 years of combined biryani expertise and a lifetime of opinions. The bar s not set high — it s launched into orbit. And yet, compliments were flowing freely around the table. That alone speaks volumes.
Beyond the food, Riki's punctuality s impeccable. Delivery and pickup happened exactly when promised, which anyone who has hosted a large gathering will l you is half the battle. Hungry guests iting around is not a vibe. It is a liability.
From pricing to service, it's a full five stars. If you're looking for a caterer who delivers on every front — quite literally — Riki is your person.
