Pankaj brought his team with him to two meetings with us at our venue. It was just perfect, savory, and delicious. Our wedding guests were from different backgrounds it was important that the food was not too spicy. Every time we were impressed at his professionalism, and of course the food was to die for. I brought my family to his restaurant, and we visited his other restaurant location in Great Falls. It is beautiful! Leading up to the wedding, Pankaj met with us often to decide on the menu and logistics. My Indian family loved it, and our family & friends that don't have Indian food often or ever were so impressed at all the options and at how tasty it was! It was presented artistically, and uniquely, and we remember walking by thinking wow. We had live stations, stationed and passed dishes. Oh my! The food! The food was just incredible. He knew we were excited about having dosa, and he brought us some before the festivities began. It is hard to put into words what it was like to see our venue set up, decorated, filled with food, catering staff, bartenders, and then there was Pankaj himself. Pankaj and his team went beyond our expectations on our wedding day in every way imaginable. My husband and I are DC area photographers, so you can imagine when we selected our caterer we had high expectations & visions for our wedding at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, VA. They are extremely responsive, pay close attention to detail and are notably professional in everything they do. Bollywood has hands-down the best staff, service, incredible food, and creative presentation. If you select Bollywood Bistro as your wedding or event caterer, you are selecting a phenomenal and top-notch team. You certainly won't be disappointed, and we will certainly be back to eat more of the delicious food. HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for event catering in the area (or just for a meal as well). The team is incredibly professional, manages expectations appropriately, is honest about what will and won't work, and extremely flexible to tailor catering for your event exactly the way you envision. Guests at our wedding raved about both the uniqueness and quality of the food, and Pankaj's team went out of the way to make sure that the bride and groom were fed (noting that this sometimes doesn't happen for couples on their wedding day given the hectic nature of what is going on).


We challenged him with a number of "off-menu" requests that he recreated with flying colors. The process throughout was incredibly fun, as we visited his restaurant in Fairfax a few too many times :) to sample and create new items with him. Pankaj and his team at Bollywood Bistro did everything possible to provide a unique experience for our wedding events, with both classic items, as well as modern twists.
