In our clients’ words

A selection of our Google reviews, shared verbatim — all five stars. Read all reviews on Google.

  • This is the food that will get you saying "Oh My (Mai)"! Not only will they take you on a culinary journey across the world, but you can trust the quality and expertise of the professional team. From Cape to Cairo, from the Eastern spices to the Western flavours, they are very creative, will listen to your ideas and turn them into reality. They don't just "make" food, Oh Mai catering curates your culinary experiences by displaying food as a work of art. I have had the privilege of seeing how diverse they are in catering for a wide range of audiences and how they tailor each event to meet the client needs and go over and above the scope. As an event manager, you cannot be everywhere at once and it helps when you know that there is a trusted team that cares about your event and guests just as much as you do. I am absolutely booking them again.

  • The chef and her team provided exceptional service and ensured that we were well looked after. We worked with them for both a business lunch and dinner and on both occasions the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The chef and owner created a welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable and really enhanced our dining experience.

  • I can only join my fellow 5 star raters. I had Oh Mai Catering for a business function at the Swiss Ambassador's Residence on the 25th of February and I must say that the food quality and presentation was outstanding. I will not hesitate to work with Gontse and her Team again in future for another culinary sensation..

Questions we’re asked most

Where are you based, and do you travel?

We are based in Pretoria and cater throughout Gauteng. However, we can also arrange travel outside this area on request.

Is your kitchen compliant with health and safety regulations?

Yes. We operate from a COA-compliant kitchen and strictly follow food safety and hygiene standards.

How far in advance should I book?

Ideally, we recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak seasons. Corporate and larger events require additional lead time, allowing us to plan menus, staffing, and logistics properly.

Do you offer custom menus?

Yes. From the start, we tailor every menu to your event, preferences, and dietary requirements. We work closely with you to design menus that suit the occasion and your guest profile.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Absolutely. In addition, we regularly cater for vegetarian, vegan, halaal-friendly, gluten-free, and other dietary needs.
