Chanda cooked for our family of fussy eaters with various allergies for a over a year before we moved away. I was so impressed with their understanding of nutrition and how it impacts health, mood and wellbeing. When chef Chanda took over our kitchen, I could see that my autoimmune illness was better, my husband's cholesterol was lower and my kids were eating a more balanced and nutritious mix of whole foods. I could see that she listened and tailored to fit our needs at every step. The end result was restaurant quality meals every day with ingredients that were hand-picked by her and were guaranteed to be clean and wholesome. This brings huge peace of mind if one suffers with allergies. One might think takeout food is easier, but there is no comparison as you can't scrutinize what goes into your food and for the same cost, with Lemon & Thyme you have a meal that is delicious and healthy to boot. We also found the delivery service invaluable when covid struck. It was reassuring to have her cook and deliver our weekly meals with the high levels of uncertainty all around us. We are grateful she continued to bring us her high quality food, hygienically prepared and safely delivered. She has continued to support us remotely with her meal planning. This has been a great source of help, especially in a new country. In summary, I would unreservedly recommend Lemon & Thyme to anyone who is on a path to wellness or looking to provide better food for themselves!

For this intimate (three-person event), she was diligent and flexible to make this very special. During our two-hour cooking session, we had a great learning experience with a delicious meal outcome.

If you are having an intimate or large event my family and I would highly recommend Aviyah services. Thanks again Aviyah for a great meal and experience!

I attended my niece's baby shower over the weekend. When I walked into the venue, the first thing…read moreI noticed was the beautiful layout of food for the guests. The selection was very diverse with gyoza, cucumber salad, hush puppies, jerk chicken skewers, shrimp po boy sandwiches, caprese croissant sandwiches and some other tasty foods. The amount of food was more than ample and the flavors were outstanding. As we were leaving, I saw the cater come in and efficiently take down the beautiful presentation and package up the remaining food. Quick and efficient.

The venue I got married at required us to rent all of the equipment and HF had been to the venue multiple times and said they would take care of the rental contract with the rental company. We got a sample contract and went over it with them and changed things to suit us then HF would make the changes with the rental company. Months later I went to the rental company to see the place settings in person and they pulled our contract and none of the updates had been made and many of our selections were no longer available so we had to make the changes ourselves. Something HF said they would take care of. Among the many things that had to be changed was glassware. We requested 200 small steins to be added on May 19th. On May 29th, HF confirmed the had updated equipment adds. We got the rental order straight from the rental company on June 24th and there was only 125 on the contract and they didn't have anymore available (photo attached). HF said they would charge us the rates they were paying for rentals plus a % service charge. The rental company sent us a copy of the contract created by HF and everything was cheaper than it was on our contract with HF. So we were paying a ~12% markup AND the service charge. Honestly, we wouldn't have cared about the extra cost had HF actually done what we asked with the rental company. Our coordinator was switched twice. When the changes happened, We had to start from square one each time, sending info we'd already sent. Often HF would only acknowledge one part of an email and we'd have to ask again. We were promised an updated quote by Friday, by Monday we didn't have it and followed up and were assured we would have it by the end of this week. Well, 6 weeks later we finally had the updated quote and it was missing changes (photo attached). They said they were busy with other weddings. The time wouldn't have been a big deal if they were clear about when we would have it. I know they were busy but to be frank, I don't care about the other weddings, I just wanted them to do what they said. Our main coordinator, BJ, seemed arrogant. At our tasting the salmon was raw, like totally translucent and cold. Other than that, the salmon was delicious so we requested it to be fully cooked. BJ told us the salmon was 'northwest style' and no one has ever complained about how it was cooked before, but that they could "overcook it" if that's what we wanted. I've had plenty of salmon and me, not the internet have ever heard of NW style. BJ acted as if we were the uninformed/ignorant ones but I think they made up northwest style to justify raw food. When we finally got the updated quote it was a completely different salmon dish. Changing this took way too many emails but we eventually figured it out. On the day of, everyone is waiting for food and my mom goes to check on it and the salmon is raw. Something we reiterated probably 10 times before the wedding. Now dinner is delayed 45 minutes. We also decided to add a 3rd side. Originally we had 2 sides with 200 servings each. When the 3rd was added, 200 servings were added, total 600 servings. I asked BJ if we needed an additional 200 servings for the same amount of people. He explained that when there's more options, people eat more. Feels like they're just trying to get us to spend more, but makes sense I guess. I then said "You can understand why this doesn't really make sense to me though right?" and he replied that he had no idea why it didn't make sense and he didn't know why I couldn't grasp it. It was very arrogant and condescending. We hired HF because we thought it would save us work but in the end it was much harder and more expensive. On the topic of money, HF was never clear how much we owed them. We had an original payment plan but so many changes were made to the contract so it wasn't accurate. After the event, they reached out and said we still owed a huge amount of money. This was super annoying because we had been asking them how much we owed. We were able to reduce this $ due to the issues explained. And now, for the first time, we received an apology. The apology seemed sincere which was greatly appreciated but it didn't come until after. Day of, the only real issue was dinner being late. Everything else was great. HF pulled it together so I'll give them credit for that. Despite the wonderful day, I would never use HF again because of how difficult they were to work with. HF is extremely expensive and I expected service of the same caliber. I am surprised by the lack of poor reviews for HF so hopefully my event was fluke. I hope my extensive review provides insight to both HF and those looking to hire them about their shortcomings.

To me, the concept is great . . . organic, "gourmet" food delivered right to your door?! AWESOME!…read moreMy husband was telling me that all the celebs are into this type of stuff right now (well, those who can't afford personal chefs), so I do indeed feel haute couture! The menu selection isn't the lengthiest, though it does seem like they have weekly specials (correction, one weekly special) to change the menu a little bit. All the frozen entrees were mostly burritos, so we decided to pass on that. We ended up going with the fresh entrees - beef w/ soba noodles, pork loin, turkey meatballs, cioppino, and a side of Waldorf chicken salad and hummus. Everything was packaged nicely and I LOVED how everything they used were either recyclable or compostable! We prepared our meals in the oven as directed (15-20min) and found that it took a lot longer than that to get it warm enough. We ended up sticking it in there for about 30min to get it warm (not even hot!) . . . maybe other people like to eat their food lukewarm?? I dunno! I just got a new oven (one with lovely red knobs), so it's not like my oven was ghetto or whatnot. The best of the bunch was definitely the cioppino - the savory wine sauce was perfect with some toasted French bread (probably throws off their delicate food portions and balancing, but I wasn't about to waste good sauce)! The pork was a little tough, but it could be due to the fact that we had to put it in for so long to get it warm enough. It came with some cornbread that was just a little odd-tasting. Must be the whole gluten-free biz. The turkey meatballs were okay, and the beef w/ soba had tiny chunks of beef and the soba was not very good at all. You'll be shocked at how small the containers are (you'll think, what?! I paid $13 for that?), but it's surprising that you'll actually find yourself full - again, must be that protein-carb-veggie ratio that they got going on. The chicken salad was yummy (but small - I think it only contained like 6 bites, not even enough for a sandwich and it was $4) and the hummus tasted really fresh. I think overall it's a cool idea but the fact that it's so pricey and the food isn't super (I guess you should never expect gourmet from a microwave dinner) really brings me down. I would consider trying it again if there was a special or a discount, but for now, it's back to organic groceries and roll-up the sleeves cooking for me!
