Mouth Watering Dinner

Nadia created outstanding dishes that had tremendous flavor. Everyone at the wedding talked about how wonderful the food was and went back for seconds. Nadia cooks her food with love while putting in the hard work to make the meal perfect. This was the best food we have ever had at a wedding and look forward to a day when we can have another one of Nadia's outstanding meals.

Fantastic food, care, and service

Nadi’s Plates was absolutely phenomenal. We loved our experience working with them and the guests raved about the food the whole night. The service was amazing and Zach made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us throughout the night to see if he could help with anything in any way. We were so so happy with our decision to work with Nadi’s Plates for our wedding!

Amazing!

We went through Nadi Plates for our wedding and everything was AMAZING! Everyone who works at Nadi Plates are so helpful and very kind. People were coming up to me at the wedding, and even reaching out after to tell me how good the food was. It was DELICIOUS. They were also overly accommodating when i learned later on that i had a gluten sensitivity. I HIGHLY recommend Nadi Plates for ANY event!
