Reviews from Elite’s Clients:

I had the best experience with ELITE Caterers. They lived up to their reputation & my expectations. I booked them for my wedding, being an Overseas Citizen I had few connections in Hyderabad and was not sure where to go for an excellent service, food, and taste at reasonable prices. Elite Caterers took that burden off my plate as I had a lot of preparations to do. The guests loved the taste, and the presentation of the food was more than presentable & satisfactory. I’d like to take this moment to give 5 stars for being very friendly & for giving an excellent service. Thanks.
