Absolutely amazing experience with Liza and her team!! Family vacation in Blowing Rock was made by the wonderful dinner they made. Communication was great! Super collaborative! To accommodate 9 people is a lot and everyone was dying over how amazing every dish was. The biggest struggle we had was not licking the bowls clean because we knew we needed to keep room for more. Also leftovers were given which was unexpected but super great. Everyone loved all the local aspects of every dish. Knowing it was helping local farmers just made the experience even better. Liza and her team are seriously phenomenal!! If we ever have the chance to have this private dinner experience again in Blowing Rock area, there is zero doubt we will be calling them up again. Still dreaming about this dinner !!! read more

First, my wife and I would like to acknowledge that this is a local business that lost most everything due to hurricane helene, and along with our community we feel for them and hope sincerely they can rebuild That being said, if you plan to book this company for any catering event, in any season, please read their Natural Disaster policy, and know you will be given zero grace and could lose thousands of dollars for an event you did not get to have due to a unprecedented natural disaster. My wife and I worked very hard to save for our 9/27/24 wedding. We knew it would be a rainy week, but no one expected a hurricane to hit our mountain town. We woke to a message from them the morning of the event, as we were evacuating our flooding wedding venue that read "What is your plan for today? Are you looking at rescheduling?  At this point is is unsafe for anyone to be on the roads, so we are wondering what the plan is! Thanks so much, stay safe!" Clearly, our focus was on our safety and our loved ones, and once we made it to safety we knew there was no way we would be having our wedding on this day. We then told our day of coordinator, once we got cell service briefly, to tell everyone to stay home. We understand they spent money on the food, we by no means expected a full refund. But like our other local vendors, who had a similar policy, we expected a partial refund. My advice, book with the utmost caution and know zero grace will be given.m Reply to Azafran response: The reason for a three week delay in requesting a partial refund was out of respect for you and your business. I saw that your kitchen was flooded and decided it would be best to wait to reach out to give you time to cleanup and recover. My wife and I live here, we are apart of this community, we wanted to wait for a more appropriate time to discuss business, seeing the devastation our community has faced, including your business. In my initial email I never once "demanded" a refund. I requested a partial refund, fully understanding we would be paying for the food cost your company had already absorbed to cater our event, given we never received the product due to a natural disaster out of either party's control, we felt a partial refund request was within reason. It is incredibly misleading to label our cancellation message as last minute. At 7:45am we received a message from you saying that it was unsafe for anyone to be on the roads. You insinuated that it would be impossible to cater our event with that message. Again, we were evacuating our flooding venue with zero cell phone service, trying to communicate with not only our vendors, but also our family and friends. Once we received cell service, we reached our day of coordinator, who communicated with everyone to stay home, I am posting this review to let potential customers know that with Azafran they are not sent a contract full of clauses to sign. They are only sent an invoice with a price. It is only on the bottom of the website that you will learn that they offer no refunds for inclimate weather, again including natural disasters. We want future customers to understand that Azafran will show you zero grace and is unwilling to reach a compromise. read more

We hired Liza to cater three meals for us while we were on vacation in the area. They were delicious, packaged easily for preparation, and exactly what we needed. Thank you, Liza! read more

I attended a 40th birthday celebration at an Airbnb cabin in Blowing Rock and Azafran catered both nights. The meals were absolutely delicious but the ambiance they created was spectacular! All fresh, local ingredients and they even accommodated dietary restrictions! Highly recommend this top notch private chef service! read more

We had Azafran cater two dinners this past weekend. They came to our Air BnB and despite limited resources from our accommodations, they fixed and served two exquisite meals. Everything was fantastic. I'll be dreaming about the fillet and the butternut squash ravioli for a long time. Thank y'all so much! read more

I organized a large group staying at an Air BnB in Blowing Rock, NC for one night of the full private dinner service and another night of a small plates dinner. Liza was very responsive, timely, and reliable in communicating the options and the full service dinner menu was great for everyone even a vegan and gluten free option. For the small plates, Liza and Trovon allowed me to give them menu suggestions and provided amazing suggestions based on what was/was not in season. Their personalities and adaptability made everything else well worth it. Highly recommend for your next event! read more
