I chose Taza Catering for my military promotion ceremony. I previously had special dinners at their location in Scottsdale and was always impressed by the quality and care of their meal preparation and presentation. I have an appreciation for what is called slow food - taking special care in preparing wholesome soul nourishing meals for family and friends. I am in absolute awe of how my promotion reception was setup with the elegance of the best of Scottsdale culinary expertise. I requested charcuterie platters and wanted the bacon wrapped dates as the signature item. All my guests were so impressed by the beautiful setup with flowers, carved fruit, and incredibly tasty foods. The reception was stated as setting a new level of post ceremony mingling with handcrafted snacks. My foodie soul was completely fulfilled by the wonderfully decorated table scape and delectable spread, especially the bacon wrapped dates! It was very easy to briefly explain to Chef Sandra what I wanted to have and she truly expounded on my vision of an extremely memorable ceremony. I am elated with my experience with Taza Catering and hope this review helps others consider inviting their culinary expertise and careful preparation to events for a most memorable experience. read more

We had such a wonderful experience with Taza Catering for my boss's retirement party! A special thank you to Sandra, who was truly amazing throughout the entire process. She guided me from the beginning, helped me put the event together, and made the planning process so much easier. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and patient, and I really appreciated all of her suggestions and support. The entire Taza team was professional, attentive, and helped make such an important celebration a beautiful and memorable event. I'm so grateful to Sandra and the Taza team for helping make my boss's retirement party so special. I highly recommend Taza Catering! read more

Communication was great food was spot on didn't have to think of anything they sat everything up beautifully and our guests couldn't say enough about how much they enjoyed the food. Thanks Taza definitely will be calling again. read more

Sandra and her catering crew were outstanding. From the moment we first spoke with Sandra, through our testing and menu planning, and all our .... just everythin.... Sandra was so gracious, helpful and accommodating. Our guests raved about the food. Her staff at our event were so professional, engaging, and genuinely wonderful. Tip: do not pass up the chocolate brownie bites-best dessert I've ever tasted. I can only hope we will have another opportunity to either attend one of Sandra's events or have her cater one of our in the future. She will certainly be top of our list, if not the ONLY contender, and I highly recommend TAZA Catering to anybody looking for an outstanding chef and catering service. read more

My husband and I ordered catering through Taza for a dinner party for 15 recently and it was amazing!

Highly recommend! read more

Super fresh delicious food. Perfectly prepared food and very friendly owners. They want to make sure you have an amazing experience.

Best catering experience that we have ever had. RAVE reviews on the food. We had a smaller group of 18. These are the items that were over the top good: Greek Feta Chicken, Baked Salmon, Coconut Paradise, Power Salad, & Seared Broccoli. We also enjoyed the Mixed Green Salad, Seasoned Rice and the Grilled Mix Veggies. So happy to give this review, as it is so very deserving. (Oh, and we loved the food as leftovers!) read more

Taza did a great job. Everyone kept saying how good the food tasted. They even brought containers for the leftovers. I will definitely hire them again. read more

What a fantastic restaurant! We found it through Yelp (thank you, Yelpers!) and loved it. It is a small restaurant in a strip mall that is well worth a visit. Chef Sandra, from Egypt, and her husband Nick, from Lebanon, made us completely welcome and served us first class Mediterranean food. We started with Baba Gannouj, a classic appetizer of roasted eggplant, tahini, garlic and lemon served with wonderful pita bread, which raised our level of anticipation. Nick answered all of our questions and, when asked, gave recommendations. I took his suggestion and ordered the Shish Tawook Grilled Chicken. My wife selected the Pear and Pistachio Chop Salad with a side of Bruschetta Caprese, and our dining companions split the Cyprus Salmon. We each loved our dishes. Loved them! My chicken was grilled with a beautifully tangy yogurt marinade, served on a bed of seasoned rice with tahini, and some nicely roasted baby potatoes. The chicken was perfect, and the blending of the yogurt, tahini and herbs/spices in the rice was comfort food at a high level. My wife's salad was delicately dressed in a house-made lemon-mint vinaigrette and had an abundance of chunks of fresh pears. feta and cranberries. Our partners raved about the salmon. The asparagus looked fantastic to me and tasted fantastic to them, roasted with a gentle touch of seasoning. As did I, they enjoyed the potatoes, too. The beverage list is well curated, with some nice Mediterranean-style wines (I had the tempranillo, a Spanish wine similar to a sangiovese. I also started with a Taza Delice, which is their take on a Mediterranean Mojito. Tasty and refreshing! We finished off with coffee, which Nick brought to the table in two small copper kettles (?) and poured into small cups, telling us that the grounds in the bottom can be used to tell our futures. Nick's description of the desserts was tempting, but we were simply too sated to try. Maybe next time, and there will be a next time. At the end of the meal, I realized I had been too busy enjoying the company, the atmosphere and the food, I too zero photos.

Hired Taza for our wedding reception, completely blind. Made the decision on menu offerings and promptness of their reply. We set a time, we purchased our items, they delivered on time and set up our food stations and make sure everything was warm for serving. The food was really great, and we felt it was also very healthy. We are food people and can see right through cheap food no matter how it's prepared and we could tell they cared about preparing our food. It was an excellent experience. We will use them again for sure. The chicken dish w beans, the mushrooms, the meatballs, were big hits in our group and the sauces - esp the aioli sauce was so delicious. They also gave us enough food to feed many more than we had - always a stressful concern w catering. Thank you Taza! read more

Absolutely amazing food and service a place to be tried and returned many many times You like good home made food try this place

Food tastes great. Feel like having a healthy food because nothing is oily at all. The gyro is tender, juicy, and full of delicious herbs/spices. Could not stop enjoying gyro pita want more! Babaganoush is delicious and sour. I would like to go back for other dishes and the desserts. read more

This is a wonderful little neighborhood restaurant and I love it. The food is spectacular. I have had several meals here and they've all been great. They have a nice charcuterie board and the falafel is the best around. I like it because it is not so hard. Another thing I like that they have is a full bar. They can make a Manhattan! This is a small restaurant so the service is excellent. The owners are always there and they run things and they care. They have outdoor dining but obviously, it's too hot right now. The prices are fine, similar to every other restaurant around here. This is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that I really hope succeeds. The food is great, the owners care and I hope everyone will support this fine restaurant! read more

This place is AMAZING! Sandra and her husband have created a beautiful, authentic, lively restaurant serving some of the most creative and flavorful dishes I've ever tried. I love Mediterranean food but have never had Egyptian specific cuisine before, and I can't believe it took me this long to try it! I tried the Egyption national dish called, Koshari. It has cumin with onions spiced lentils, ditalini pasta, olive oil rice, topped with spicy garlic tomato sauce and caramelized onions. It was so tasty, spiced but not spicy/hot. I also tried the Pear and Pistachio salad with chicken which was also very taza (Egyption for "fresh"!). The dessert called Baklava with pistachios was very tasty but not too sweet, which I loved! I will be back next time I visit Scottsdale! read more

A real hidden gem in Scottsdale a little off the beaten path. Definite must try. Great cocktails salmon and broccoli were cooked to perfection. Very reasonable prices for the quality of food. Relatively new, run by lovely husband and wife team who are talking about having small cooking classes. And if they do, I'm in! A great break from overcrowded Scottsdale restaurants in high season. read more

We waited 4 months for a reservation to celebrate our birthdays here. Food was marginally acceptable. Chicken was dry, chalky and sauce had no flavor. potato's were undercooked and tough. Sautéed vegetables were oily with no seasoning. Not even Mediterranean Spices. Not worth the 4 months wait or 10 mile drive and we were the only two in the place. read more

Best restaurant week menu I've had, Super good will be coming back. Tried 2/3 of the menu, everything was good read more

Some of the best Mediterranean dishes I've had in my lifetime with some Egyptian flare. Nestled in a small plaza in Scottsdale, one could be forgiven for thinking this was just another mom and pop shop. Taza Bistro deserves to be known as Arizona's best. We started with the Meze Trio, a delightful medley of (amazing) hummus, seasoned olive oil, and an olive spread with small slices of pita. Just perfect - no notes. I ordered the Beyond Gyro - which is a bit of a misnomer given that one would expect this to be a BeyondMeat product - it's really a blend of seasoned beef and lamb made in-house. It was perfect. Super tender and flavorful. The house tzatziki and hummus that accompanied were was very good as well. It came with the small pita pieces again rather than being served in a larger pita sandwich, but this did not detract from the quality of the dish. I'd come back here again just for this. My wife order the Cairo platter, consisting of a beef kofta kabab, Greek salad, hummus, blackened broccoli, seasoned rice & grilled pita. Excellent flavor, albeit not as tender and juicy as the gyro. The wine selection was excellent - full of full bodied wines that pair well with Mediterranean fare. We tried the Passionfruit Mule and were big fans. Even the kids menu was fantastic - my daughter absolutely downed grilled chicken and crinkle cut fries. Normally I can only get her to eat hotdogs, so this was a very unexpected win for us. I ended up taking home their Baklava, and it was similarly perfect. This is going to be my go-to Mediterranean stop for guests to Arizona. A must visit. read more

Sandra & Nick of TAZA Catering & Event Planners made my late husband, Richard Kamps Celebration Of Life event a most memorable, lovely experience for all his family and friends to attend. The quality of the lite menu chosen, the food service was impeccable, the affordability, and the unobtrusive management of this occasion. It was an uplifting reminder of the person he was during his life to all that attended. If possible, I would give them 10 stars read more

Tried the Restaurant Week menu! I will definitely return! Great lollipop lamb; generous portion, seasoned and cooked to perfection, paired with couscous and carrots. Define pear salad and good baklava. Enjoyed with a very nice and smooth French Cab! My friend had the sea bass and joined the cast of other dinners raving about it! read more

I really appreciate that people want to support this local business. I really want local restaurants to win as well... However, I didn't think that this was a five-star place. It wasn't bad, but the food also did not blow me away. The service was a tad bit slow... But I think it's because it's a small place, and it most likely does not make sense to add staff. read more

Cute little family owned restaurant with excellent gluten-free options. The food was authentic, fresh, and tasty. We had the hummus with gluten-free pita and veggies, the beyond gyro, the Cairo platter and koshari. We would get everything again, except now we want to try other dishes that sound equally as amazing! The owner served us, and he was as sweet as can be. Try this place - you won't be disappointed! read more

If you love greek food and healthy food, you must try Taza Bistro! The warm pita and Baba Gannouj is excellent! Smooth texture and full of flavor. The antipasto salad was so fresh--with tomatoes cucumbers artichoke hearts, buffalo mozzarella, provolone, Kalamata olives, and salami--you can add additional proteins. We added gyro meat, which I highly recommend. It is the real deal--thick, juicy, and flavorful. read more
