Recently had a private event at home for roughly 40 people. Cafe Solo kindly did the catering for us. The food was incredible and the price point was excellent. We got Lasange and Chicken Curry along with salads and also beautiful deserts. While I found all of the food excellent the chicken curry was the star of the show with guests coming back for 2nds and also some people for 3rds. Thank you to the team at Cafe Solo, I will certainly be using this service again and will reccomend it to anyone hosting an event at home.
