I don’t know why there so many bad reviews about this company. It was our first time working with them. They’re really good, food, service, presentation. And they do everything in great standards. I can’t describe the flavor of the food, display. Everything was amazing. They’re fast, our food was filled every time, and service was good too.

David at Sason catering was wonderful to work with. The persian food he provided for our wedding was outstanding and the decor in which he set everything up with, was unbelievable. Our guests loved every piece.... from the appetizers to the desserts!

I am shocked at all the 4 star reviews and suspect they are all from friends and family! I hired David from Sason (Shadi) catering for my wedding and after my experience I believe he is a con artist, bully, a liar and an all around crook who only cares about the bottom line. I caution anyone to think twice before using his service because you will never get what was promised and will be treated like absolute dirt. He has threatened us, treated us with utter disrespect and hung up the phone several times after we tried to calmly address the disaster that was his catering service at our wedding.

Our experience: As in all vendor meetings, we met on two different occasions and went over the menu for the event. We made sure to express how important this evening was for us and set our expectations from the start so things go smoothly. At the meeting David did everything to ensure he would be “taking care of us” but demanded the payment in full. In fact, he threw the contract in my husband’s face three days before the wedding if his fees were not paid in full. That should have been a huge red flag but we were too close to the event date to change vendors.

During the wedding David must have counted on the fact that we would be distracted by the festivities and not notice what was going on but we were on to him. He did not adhere to our timeline AT ALL and placed the buffet dinner out in the cold Malibu night air an hour early. Our timeline specifically stated to put out the buffet for dinner to be served at 10:30pm and instead it was out at 9:30PM. We even have a photo with a timestamp as evidence and our wedding coordinator even reminded the staff and David that dinner was to be at 10:30pm but they kept pressuring her to call over the guests early at 9:30. They were forced to cover all the food when they realized that they messed up with the timeline.

Now to the food. We were missing a cake for the desert table, a stew on the main course, the chicken kabobs were terribly over salted and many pieces were undercooked, the fruit station looked more like what is left over from a week old farmer’s market haul with the “exotic fruit” he promised being 1 bowl of guavas, a bowl of blueberries and a few decorative papayas. In our conversation, he promised guavas, mangos, papayas, starfruit and gooseberries to entice us to sign the contract. What we got instead were decorative papayas that were not for serving, 3 uncut mangos, yellow wilted cucumbers, NO gooseberries, NO starfruit and all in a poor man’s display. His presentation style is cheap and minimalistic and definitely does not equate to the amount of money we paid. To add, there were barely any nuts on the table (we were promised 6-7 pounds and got maybe 1 pound) and we were charged an extra $200 for them.

We were so embarrassed when several guests approached our coordinator to complain about the cold food.

When we called him a few days after to calmly discuss the situation and express our disappointment, David became increasingly more defensive, with rude comebacks and threats. In the world of business it is acceptable to make mistakes, have some hiccups but how a business handles themselves and their clients is extremely important. David cursed at my husband, threatened to sue us and come after our house just simply because he didn’t wanna deal with the situation. All for what… because we called him on his bull? Save your money and choose ANYONE else! The embarrassment and disappointment is certainly not worth it for such a special occasion.
