That will deliver to Princeton, New Jersey.

Someone I know is making a party in Princeton and wants to invite some Orthodox Jews.

they need the highest level of kashrut and also excellent catering

Must deliver to Princeton NJ

I'm not sure that Ottimo delivers but you try them too.

Otherwise, maybe Greenwald?

They're all KCL.

Thanks. Is the food fancy enough to compete with non kosher?

I went to a really fancy bar mitzvah in Philadelphia quite a few years ago and it was catered by Greenwald Caterers from Lakewood (milchig). It was absolutely an over the top bar mitzvah and they did an amazing job. I'm not sure if they still do these things, but if they do I'm sure they would go to Princeton as well.

Circa is more pasta, pizza, salad, fish etc. good tasty food but not upscale.
I have a bunch of family members that used him for parties and were happy.

Ottimo is an upscale restaurant. They have a party room so probably do parties. I have no idea if they would deliver to princeton.

Greenwald has been around for a really long time and has a good reputation. They'll probably deliver and can do as upscale as the client is willing to pay.

Greenwald does parties outside of Lakewood all the time. They can do very upscale and they do a beautiful job.

I've been to very nice parties Circa did, and the food is always delicious, but I don't know if they travel and like Sebastian said, they don't do upscale in the same way as Greenwald.

I've never been to a party done by Ottimo, I don't think they travel but I can be wrong.

Another option is Tessler Catering, they do an incredible job, but I'm not sure if they do dairy.

I agree. Greenwood of Lakewood are absolutely amazing! They cater a very upscale hotel program I’ve been to several times, and each time the food has been amazing, fancy, classy and delicious! You won’t be sorry. (Think Glatt ala Carte...)

Greenwald can do truly upscale packages.
Don’t judge them by Bais faiga weddings ...

I’ve been to Greenwald bar mitzvah and school dinners, was very impressed by both. Great food, menu, taste, right amount and presentation, which I liked a lot.

I never went to the meal at Bais Faiga wedding; is catering there different from “regular” Greenwald?

The food is good, just simple.

I have relatives who make over-the-top Simchas and use Greenwalds as their caterer. I'm talking food, presentation, the works.

Thank you... Looks like Greenwald is the clear front runner here
