Patravali Indian Cuisine

Our wedding was this past May in Hard Rock Riviera Maya. All of our events were catered by Patravali. Unfortunately Hard Rock had a really intense policy for outside vendors. We wanted to have food by patravali for all of our events, which we did, but it definitely took a good chunk of our budget. Although it was costly to pay that fee to the hotel for each day they catered, we absolutely have no regrets. Fernanda and Himanshu realized the exorbitant outside vendor fee and did whatever best they could price wise on their end, which was so sweet. They really treated us like family, even inviting us to their home for a last minute food tasting while their restaurant location was under construction. We were so impressed by their professionalism and willingness to perfect the dishes to our taste for all of the events. Our guests are still raving about the food, and we're so happy they catered all our wedding events! Thank You Fernanda/ Himanshu and the whole Patravali team! You guys are incredible!

We used Patravali to cater all of the events for our Indian wedding in Mexico, and also some other meals in between events. Our guests are still raving about the food! We were so pleased with everything, and can't wait to go back to Cancun to eat at Patravali again. Fernanda was wonderful to work with and all of our guests who met her loved her too. We had a tasting at the restaurant a few months before and were happy with everything at that time, but the food at the events was even better than the tasting, they did a great job!

My only 2 pieces of feedback for the team would be that we didn't have a clear plan on how/when the food for guests with dietary restrictions (jain/swaminarayan) was going to be handled and so those guests waited a long time to eat when everyone else was already eating. I would suggest having it setup at a separate buffet station so all guests can eat together. And the other thing we would recommend is proper signage for the food, we had some vegetarian guests get meat items on accident because the signs weren't there. But beyond that, everything was exception and we were super happy with the entire menu during our wedding weekend! Thanks Patravali!!

Cancun, Mexico wedding 1/19/19

When Sam and I decided to have our wedding in Cancun, Mexico, one of our biggest concern was having food that our guest would remember. Every wedding we ever attended, we remembered the food and how good or bad it was. We wanted to make sure our guest remembered how amazing our food was. As we started to look for Indian food restaurants in Cancun we started getting nervous. Then, as any nervous bride, I started googling "Indian food restaurants in Cancun." And up popped Patravali. From the first moment, communication was easy and thorough. Fernanda was an absolute delight. She was always available, via email, whatsapp or call. Sam and I finally made a trip to Cancun to meet all our potential vendors and setup tastings.
Just to make sure we were making the right choice, we setup 2 tastings for Indian food, and one of them was with Patravali. From the beginning, Fernanda and her team were attentive and willing to think outside the box for us. One thing we wanted to make sure for our events was not to repeat any dish. Fernanda and her team definitely kept that in mind when helping up creating menu drafts.
When we arrived for our tasting, it was a professional and thoughtful setup. We tried over 20 dishes and drinks, all amazing. We met with the chef to discuss variations and options, even added things that were not on their original restaurant menu. They set the bar extremely high. Then we went for our second vendor tasting, needless to say we were immediately comparing them to Patravali, Fernanda and the team. We decided that night we wanted only Patravali.
Fernanda and her team ensured our events were the talk of the town among our guest. From the first bite our guest were asking for more. Being from NYC, we are natural foodies, as a majority of our guest, everyone thgouth we flew the entire catering staff and chefs in from NYC. The quality, taste, presentation, flavor and delivery were absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for more.
The night of our welcome dinner, on the beach, we were shocked to have Himanshu, the owner, personally at one of our serving stations. He took pride in his work and it showed. The next day, wedding and reception, our guest were astonished at how amazing the food and presentation was. They kept asking for more and more food. Fernanda and Himanshu, along with their team personally made fresh chole bhature at our reception, it was an absolute hit!.
We can’t thank Patravali, Fernanda, Himanshu and their entire team for the dedication, hard work, love of food and professionalism. They treated our wedding as if it was their own family and poured their heart and soul into it. Sam and I are truly blessed to have found Patravali and this team. We would recommend them for any and all of your events. We would even say just make the trip to the restaurant and you will be a follower for life, as we are.
Patravali team – Sam and I already have plans to come back just for you guys.
