AYZA catered a very important luncheon for the Silurians Press Club. We had about 90 attendees. The food, which was served buffet-style, could not have been tastier. (My group can be quite critical and yet everyone raved about out the food, including the coffee! And the servers were equally professional and very helpful to our membership, which skews older. The servers were kind and also affable.) But let me emphasize that the food was absolutely delicious. I would not hesitate to do business with AYZA again and I shall recommend them to all of my friends. The owner, Zafer, is a delight to work with. He adjusted the menu to my needs. He's a true professional! And such a gentleman too.

I recently hosted an event at Midtown Loft & Terrace and I was recommended AYZA for the food and beverage catering and I couldn't have been happier with the experience.
The food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent and the service was truly top notch. Zafer, the manager, was also on site throughout the event, making sure everything ran smoothly and taking care of anything we needed.
I would 1000% recommend AYZA for your next event. They played a huge part in making ours a success!

We hired AYZA for a corporate party, and everyone loved the food, service, and drinks! We were super grateful that they let us add an extra 30 minutes at end of the night to keep the party going. Super attentive, accommodating and kind. Will definitely hire them again for next event!
