The food was wonderful. I loved the presentation, the taste and the choice of dishes. A fabulous experience overall.

Very good food with very bad attitude-very Hard to get Vidhya on the phone or respond to text . Paying a lot for our event expect some professionalism -absolutely no customer service . making customers that paid you top dollars feel let down is not a good business model. read more

Met her at a wedding . Awsome food. Nice layout . Will surely recommend her for events.

Have been staying in Sunnyvale for around 5 years , but never knew about this until recently. Food is yummy ,fresh and it tastes like home-made. I was late for the food pickup and the restaurant was closed. I called the owner and she was kind enough to ask to collect the food from her home, and I did get additional items for free. 5 stars for the food and service!! NOTE : They have take-out on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday nights. The menu keeps changing, and you need to pre order the night before pick-up and then pick-up between 4pm and 6pm next day. read more

Vidya and Mahesh did a great job organizing a South Indian station at my wedding in San Jose (they were working in parallel with a North Indian caterer). We had a live dosa station with plain and Mysore masala dosa, rice, rasam, sambar, mixed vegetable poriyal, and chutney. Our guests all praised the food as some of the best Indian catering they've tasted, and our relatives from South India called it "the real deal" and kept going back for more. The staff were very professional, arrived on time, executed perfectly, and charged a very reasonable price. I would hire them again in a second for any event. Like all good caterers, Silver Spoon is extremely busy. My recommendation is to give them a call and make an appointment to go visit them in Sunnyvale; it is much easier to hash out details in person than over the phone or by e-mail. Vidya is a very creative chef and has excellent menu suggestions to create a balanced meal. After your visit, Mahesh is great about following up by e-mail with all of the details and a clear, concise contract. Vidya and Mahesh are so sweet and take such good care of you: you feel like family when you're working with Silver Spoon. read more

So we got the reference from another party we had been to, and we had experienced firsthand that the food was tasty. So for our event it was a no brainer for us to go with Shreyas. We ordered for a group of 30 people and the menu had aloo tiki chat (amazing, must have) gobi munchurion (super crunchy), asparagus koffta (crowd favorite), poori, hakka noodles, veg biryani (my favorite) and gulabjamun. The food was superb and every single person asked for the caterer details. They also provided steel chafers, serving spoons and candles at no extra cost. Will definitely refer Shreyas and team for anyone looking to do catering for Indian food !! read more

I started working with Vidya, Mahesh and Shreyas. It was very difficult to get hold of them. After several phone calls, emails I finally caught hold of them. They send me their prices: Basic Menu starting: $15.99 per guest plus tax Premium Menu starting: $18.99 per guest plus tax Their prices was a bait and switch approach. They quote low and add charges later. They were initially nice to talk to. They made tall claims on how they would take care of everything that we needed and provide food and anything else that would help me with my catering. After agreeing to everything and after few months, they suggested additional steep delivery fee, but I was hesitantly agreed to it. This was a big red flag. Additional charges will be added as event date came closer. I was relieved and hoping that everything had settled on catering front and now I can focus on other aspects of my wedding. Then few weeks before the wedding, Silver Spoon emailed me and communicated that they cannot cater for my event and I should look for other vendors. Damn. They inadvertently let it out that they found someone else who was willing to pay more and had a bigger order and they took it. Extremely unprofessional. Read all the low star reviews and judge for yourself. read more

Rating Woohoo! As good as it gets! We're SO glad we found out about Vidya and Silver Spoon through Yelp and went with her for our wedding lunch! The food was one of the highlights of our wedding (as should be). Vidya is really sweet and helped us pick the perfect menu for our Tamilian lunch. She always served us delicious food whenever we went to visit her, and also sent some delicacies back a couple times :). One of our American guests said that the food that was served at lunch was 'the best vegetarian food she'd ever had'. I highly recommend Silver Spoon for any catering events, you won't be disappointed! Thanks, Vidya and Mahesh! read more

We got married in September and had Silver Spoon do the catering for our Friday reception (~275 people) as well as Sunday cocktail hour and dinner. I really don't know how to describe the food except that it was out of this world! Friday, we asked for a traditional South Indian menu. Vidya worked with us to come up with something so amazing and unique. Our South Indian guests were blown away with taste and quality and our other guests (who had never even tried half the dishes) were impressed by how tasty and unique each dish was. Then came Sunday evening where we had requested the total opposite of Friday, a non-traditional North Indian menu. Vidya made the most amazing fusion dishes that my mouth is still watering thinking about it. People were seriously raving about the food all weekend. Icing on the cake is that Vidya is so sweet and passionate about her food. On wedding day we were stuck taking photos after the ceremony so without anyone even asking or remembering, Vidya hand-delivered a special batch of appetizers for us to munch on between photos. During the reception, she came and found me and personally fed me her freshly made kulfi from the kulfi bar so I could be the first to try it. These seemingly small things are what really add up on the wedding day and the positive attitude of a vendor really makes all the difference. All in all, I can't even imagine what our wedding would look like without Vidya, Mahesh and Shreyas who worked so hard to make all our specific food requests come true. Over the course of the wedding weekend we probably tried more than 20 different dishes and each and every one was amazing. When people give us reviews of the food, each guest talks about a different "favorite" dish.. that tells you how many good dishes there were! From the constant influx of fresh puris, pesto naan, traditional South Indian thali to the kulfi bar, we cannot say enough good things about our experience with Silver Spoon. We all know how busy they are and it is hard to get through to them...BUT if they do have an opening for your wedding date, save yourself the trouble of tasting a lot of semi-fresh, run-of-the-mill Indian food at other places and just go with Silver Spoon from the get go! read more

Vidya's food is truly something to rave about. We were lucky to have her cater our Indian wedding. She prepared a chaat menu for our Sangeet and then a mix of Sotuh and North Indian food for our Wedding reception. Every single dish was unique, flavorful, and extremely authentic (especially her South Indian food). Some really interesting and flavorful dishes include vadas of two types, moong salad with blueberries and other fruits and veggies, amazing mor kolombu and bisibelibath, stuffed eggplants, and gobi manchurian. Our guests were really happy. The reason why we are giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because we agree that she is difficult to book for an event. We had a graduation party one year ago and wanted to book her for that, but it was impossible to contact her. We had hired a wedding planner to coordinate our wedding, and our planner was the one who has an inside connection with Vidya, so we did not have to deal with coordinating with her directly for the wedding. I hope that I can contract Vidya again in the future because I really enjoyed her food. read more

Vidya catered a South Indian style vegetarian lunch at our wedding. The food was delicious! People are still complimenting us on how good the food was. The idlis were soft and fresh. Every dish was perfect and the chaat station was a huge hit. One of our friends was in the area a few weeks later and was asking us were he could get the chaat from our wedding. With respect to logistics, they showed up on time and made plenty of food. The service and set up was organized and reliable. I found Vidya to be friendly and receptive every time we met with her. I am sure there are other caterers out there who are less expensive but you get what you pay for... read more

I tried multiple avenues to contact and get some quote for our party. No one would respond. Couple of us contacted via web, phone and facebook. As a business atleast one should get back and indicate whether they are available or not. There were multiple other ones like Chaat Party that responded and indicated they are not available on the requested date read more

This was our 2nd time catering food from Silver Spoon and the experience was again wonderful. All the guests loved the food and our housewarming function was super fun because of lovely home like food. read more

I recently hosted an engagement dinner party for 50. My aunt recommended to try Silver Spoon as she had enjoyed their food at other parties. I went about looking at Yelp reviews and decided to try them out. I met Shreyas (a really nice guy) and he explained to me that they could do whatever food I wanted. This was slightly different because its easier if someone makes that choice for you. (They had a list of their previous catering menus to help) Shreyas worked with me and recommended some of their popular dishes. I also got a free sample of 4-5 items (yaay!) I wanted to book them as soon as possible because some of the reviews mentioned how hard it is to catch hold of them. But Shreyas assured me and he was very responsive to calls/texts. The food was amazing, delivered on time (free chafing dishes!). They even packed the leftovers for us to take back home. I went to give the final check and I was treated to more free food!! read more

I really wanted to give Vidya a 5 star review because the food is excellent like the other reviewers said. But so far, I have heard from at least 4 other friends who have had terrible experiences with respect to customer service. And my own experience trying to finalize the order and the price was quite bad. She promised the best of the items and that she will not have a problem making it for the day of the event. About a week before the event she said she cannot do a part of our order as it was too small. I had told her the total number the very 1st time I met her. At that time, she had no problem saying yes. But a week before the party, she tells me our order is too small? And she suggested I go to a different vendor in the area. I must have called her at least 10 times to get an estimate for the rest of the order because I was pre-warned by friends that I should finalize the price before hand. But it was a nightmare trying to reach her. I understand she has a lot of orders to work on. If she is that busy, she needs to delegate the price details and customer communication to the other people who work for her. But no....she is the only one that can give u a price. And there is no standard price per person for each item. In spite of the food being really good, i will not be returning to her. The stress and hassle is just not worth it, especially while planning a big event. And she is very expensive. I found a different caterer who was so much easier to work with and really good food too. read more

They don't have a menu online or anywhere where I can access. If you call them it goes to voicemail so often until I could finally reach someone. It's almost like they have enough business and don't really care about some 30 people party. When they pick up the phone, they are talking to someone else while listening to you. Finally she told me to send an email of my requirements. They never got back. I went with a different caterer. I'm not sure about large parties, but for small parties, don't waste your time. Several days after I mailed them, they sent a response saying they are booked. I think this is pathetic customer service. read more

Looking at all the 5-star reviews, we really wanted Silver Spoon to cater our wedding, a two day affair. Good luck on actually getting them to cater your event if it's not big enough for them. While they have a right to choose their customers, the way they went about saying "no" was by first agreeing to do it, giving us a quote days after promising one, then adding one condition after another over a period of multiple days. ("Oh, we don't deliver Saturdays", "Sunday delivery is some ridiculous amount extra"...) and finally not even bothering to return calls. Extremely unprofessional and arrogant. We didn't need this when we were planning our wedding. Looking at other reviews, it looks as though we weren't the first people to be burned by this behavior. read more

Stay away unless you want a fiasco! Vidya does not come through on commitments and generally appears to run a disorganized outfit where things fall through the cracks. What's worse for our function she tried to gouge us on the price within days of the event - which was a memorial service! NOT classy! read more

Yum!!! Delicate flavors like dosa and amber India.

i love vidya! she catered a small indian reception for my wedding last year, and she also did the catering for my sis in law's wedding this year. her food is fantastic, and she can make whatever types of food you want, whether they be vegan, indian-fusion, or whatever else. for my sis in law's wedding, vidya catered 2 events: the sangeet the night before, as well as the wedding reception. for the sangeet, she did chaat w/ some kati rolls, hakka noodles, aloo tikki, and some other yummy stuff. for the wedding reception, she made all the indian food vegan,and included some fusion dishes such as a quinoa pilau. for the passed apps, she also did pani puri shooters, which was a cute concept (pani puri w/ a shot glass of the spicy water for you to "shoot" into your mouth after sticking the puri in your mouth). vidya is really professional and sweet, and i highly recommend her for your indian catering needs. read more

Vidya catered for Indian wedding - Lunch, Dinner and next day - Puja too... amazing food!. Folks were in line for second and third helpings! Keep up the good work! read more

Vidya never fails to deliver awesome food, and reasonably priced too! The food is not only tasty, but is also prepared in a health-conscious way. And she has a collection of creative and unusual dishes to choose from. You do need to follow up to make sure they have your order right, but it's definitely worth the trouble. There's no one else who comes close in terms of taste and quality. read more

Vidya is really an excellent cook! I had ordered maharastrian food for Ganesh Chaturthi puja at my place. Chhole, aaloo tikki, puries, Matki, aaloo sabji, veg buryani, raita, gajar halwa and tea. Gajar Halwa was awesome and tea was regressing. Everything was excellent. Everyone loved the food. Quantity and quality both were very good. I live in San Mateo and getting the food from Sunnyvale was pain but it was totally worth it. read more

Silver Spoon catered our tamil wedding in April, and it was a fantastic meal! The food was the talk of the wedding--even for the folks who had attended from Chennai. The aloo fry was one of the best things I have eaten, period. And the dal vada (which was prepared fresh onsite) was divine. They accommodated bringing runners and chafers to the event, which our venue (surprisingly) did not provide, and even incorporated a last-minute menu change. They even packed up some of the leftovers so that our family could enjoy them the evening after our event. Two small pieces of feedback to them: While they're understandably busy with many catering commitments, it can be quite difficult to get a hold of them, which drives up the anxiety when you're trying to ensure all the little details. It also took a few weeks to get a menu and contract in place. While I completely understand where Vidya is coming from in wanting to create spectacular, customized menus for each of her clients, it would likely serve them well to have a few sample menus (and pricing) more publicly available. That said, I have to hand it to Shreyas and Vidya who make a terrific team--they are personable and make you feel like family every time you meet them in person. Vidya will not let you leave without feeding you something fresh and delicious, and I can't recommend their food enough! read more

First of all, their food is out of this world!! If you want to try finger-licking food then you have found the right place! The thing that I truly appreciate about Silver spoon is that they only serves fresh food so you don't have to worry about eating meals that have been cooked few days earlier. In addition, they cater a wide varieties of dishes(North/South and other Indian, Indo-Chinese, etc.) so you can indulge in trying something that you hadn't tried before. And their deserts are amazing! Owners are super nice and friendly, but professionals at the same time. I have always had a pleasant experience. They will be my first choice whenever I need a caterer for future events. read more

Eating the food from silver spoon, it feels you are back in India. Few of there dishes holds lot of creative ingredients, which I have not had any where else. There food is not just very tasty but is also very healthy. The other places where I have had Indian food before in the bay area, they either have too much oil, food is not served well, the food dish looks very messy. But I think staff of Silver spoon cook with much interest, the food is fresh, the dish is presented very well and as far as I have eaten there I never felt like the cooks have made the food with lack of interest, It has always been excellent. I would recommend this place to non-Indians as well, as they modify the dishes according to their costumers needs. read more

Amazing food and customer service all the way through for our recent housewarming. Working with Shreyas for planning and coordination was a breeze, and the food was so delicious and authentic to our Kannada culture! Two thumbs-up to Silver Spoon! read more

We had a bday party and we decided to order food from Silverspoon. We had had food from them earlier in another bday party and liked it very much. Our menu included paneer wraps, dum biriyani, aloo tikki and hakka noodles. Vidya (the owner of Silverspoon) had suggested the menu based on the timing of the party, season of the year and the age range of kids coming to the party. The price for each plate was very reasonable. They were delivered on time. Everyone at the party loved the food. Paneer tikki was amazing. I wish we had ordered them more just for left overs . We had people messaging us after the party appreciating the food and asking us from where we got them. Will be ordering from them for our next party. read more

Vidya is really awesome! I had ordered maharastrian food for ganesh chaturthi puja. aloo tikki and chhole with mint and sweer chutney matki and aloo sabji with puries veg biryani with raita gajar halwa tea Seperate batches of puries were covered with aluminium foil. Food was yummi! each and every item was so tasty and fresh. everyone liked the food so much. Gajar halwa was awesome! Qaulity and quantity of the food was really very good. She made our Ganesh chaturthi special! Thank you Vidya. read more

We ordered snacks from Silver Spoon for a Hackathon event and the food was excellent. The food was prepared on time. Shreyas and Vidya were very prompt, professional and awesome!!! - Eatoji team - sushmita read more

I had a taste of Silver Spoon menu at an Arangetram function. Food was awesome. Some of the menu items were: 1. Pav Bhaji 2. Bisibele Bath. 3. Quinoa Pongal 4. Curd Rice 5. Semia Kheer All the items were top notch. I plan to cater with them for any events that we may host. read more

Great food. The other day I tried Tawa vegetables prepared by her. Never had such autentic tawa vegetables even in the heart land of Old Delhi which is famous for this culinary speciality. I like the way she addresses even the smallest concern of each and every customer and she plans your event as if it is her event. Quality of food is always par excellence. read more

Plus points: One of the best foods, Indian and fusion, one can ever get in the Bay area. Their quality, taste and presentation sets them a class apart. I was surprised to learn that Vidya, Mahesh and Shreyas do the shopping themselves to ensure they get the best ingredients and fresh produce. They offer menu options like gluten-free, organic, nut-free, diary-free and vegan. The can pull of small household events of 50 people to large weddings of over a 1000 guests with elegance and finesse. Shortcomings: 1. Hard to get a hold of over the phone. Always overloaded with orders. 2. Website needs a overhaul. read more

We catered for my sons graduation party. Picked a fusion menu of south/north and pan Asian style items . Food was excellent, Shreyas was very prompt and responsive to my questions. All the guests were really happy . Thank you Vidya and team your passion shows in the quality and taste of the food . read more

Vidya Mahesh and Shreyas are a joy to work with. For folks who complain about prices,and no time to answer calls and being unprofessional, I have news for you, try doing this yourself and keep the standard of food at the level they do. Impossible is my answer. For everyone that has a negative review about her I feel there is more to the story than you provide information here. Either way to each his own but all I can say about this team is food A plus always, prices very decent and not above market rate, the delivery set up and service A plus. I am a repeat customer with her multiple times and I have never had a reason to complain. Yes hard to get to them, try any other excellent catering service of their level and tell me you got through to them on first try? It is a very hectic and tough business and involves market rate of groceries and fresh stock availability for them. She buys her groceries fresh and her spices and oil are not run of the mill . She makes spices herself. She works very difficult hours sometimes starts cooking as early as 1 am for a lunch to be delivered at 10 am. That is her commitment to great tasting food. Vidya Mahesh and Shreyas we wish you all nothing but the best and keep feeding us your excellent quality food. We will always use your services irrespective of your yelp reviewers. Love your food love you guys and you rock. read more

Outstanding service and excellent, beautifully decorated food! We've had all vegetarian food from them so far, including fried rice, several different curries, mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes, grilled okra, and salads. All very tasty, despite the multiple dietary restrictions. We really appreciated the extra care they showed. Definitely looking forward to working with them again. read more

I had Silver Spoon Cater for our son's wedding last November. It was a cross cultural wedding. The South Indian dishes were exceptional, their service was exceptional and our guests were extremely happy. The piping hot pooris with potato was a hit, her rasam, Beese Bele Bath, yoghurt rice were all simply amazing, the desserts including Poli/Obattu were so good that some of our guests wanted to pack a few to take it with them!! I had asked for one pasta dish as a just-in-case item for the non-indians. This could have been better, but then the item was unnecessary as everyone preferred and loved the Indian dishes and went back for more. I still hear from some of the guests about the 'yummy' food. Thanks to Vidya and Mahesh for their reliability, cheerfulness and their professionalism! read more

We engaged Silver Spoons caterers for our daughter's wedding in May. Vidya, Mahesh and their team did an amazing job on all the 3 days of catering. Every item was so fresh, tasty and well-presented and gained lot of attention and appreciation from our guests. She was able to provide us both south and north Indian items, traditional as well as fancy food just the way we wanted. Vidya helped us a lot in choosing from a wide selection of menus and every time we went to see her, we were offered fresh and tasty food along with courteous service. Food was delivered hot and in chafing pans on time and they kept up their schedule as promised. Vidya was very patient and polite with us throughout and made us feel very comfortable. We were very happy that we made the right choice. We will certainly recommend Silver Spoon for any occasion. read more

We tried to get catering from them for our pre-wedding event and a few phone calls and one meeting later we were absolutely sure we didn't want to cater from them. There are not many South Indian caterers in the Bay Area for large events and they definitely treat you like they own that space. It took us a few e-mails and a couple of phone calls to get even get an appointment set up. The day of the appointment Vidya did not even pick up the phone, we had to just show up and hope they would be there. When we went to meet with them to talk about the menu, all our ideas were shot down because they didn't think our pre-wedding event was big enough (we were planning for 150 people). Seriously? You need 300 people to give me the menu I want? Vidya was even complaining about how cauliflower was expensive so she could not make manchurian for us, ugh! Following that, when we asked for a tasting, they said they would let us know when they made each dish and we were expected to make a trip to their office each time. Terrible way to treat your customers in my opinion. We decided to go with a different caterer. read more

Catered food from them for my husband's 50th based on the recommendations from my friends. Both Vidya and Mahesh are extremely accessible and friendly. They do get busy for sure! But they also make it a point to call back. Food was extremely delicious! Vidya didn't feel the food would be enough and decided to add in a couple of more dishes last minute. She definitely shows accountability. I will definitely go back to them in the future. read more
