Astral Catering

I requested a quote from them. They never replied. Needless to say I will be hiring someone else. They do not even deserve one star, but it wouldn't let me post without it.

So tried to call and get a quote for a wedding, a lady answered and said something unintelligible, several times she repeated whatever she was saying, I still have no idea, and I just said I'd call back. Well if they don't have a person who can communicate on the phone I doubt they have someone who can cook food.

I had my graduation party catered by Astral. The presentation of the food exceeded my expectations. We had a macaroni and cheese martini bar, a flaming donuts station, a mini dessert station, and a number of heavy appetizers. Everything was seasoned just right, and tasted really good.

I contacted Astral to quote on a dinner party for 10 people at my home. I was ordering from their "Platinum" (most expensive) menu. It took 3 business days to get a quote (there are no prices on their website). The quote I got was for the food - $565, delivery - $50 and a mysterious "service charge" -$89.10 and taxes. Their prices are as much as a high-end restaurant in Houston which is fine if the food was good. But I wanted to know what the $89.10 service charge was for. It took another 3 business days to get back to me. The service charge is to "cover the cost for things such as insurance, advertising, admin staff, trucks maintenance, fuel to get to events etc." This is hilarious. Their prices are already much higher than many other caterers in the city and they already charge an appropriate delivery charge. Their delivery charge does not help pay for fuel and maintenance? I think this "service charge" reveals business troubles if you ask me. In the end we'll be ordering from Hugo's where I know what quality I'm getting. I have to pick up the food myself which is fine but there is no extra "service charge". If you have a dinner party at your home, order from somewhere else. It's cheaper and easier to order from any high-end restaurant in Houston where you KNOW what you're getting. Also there are many corporate caterers out there who are much cheaper with no "service charge". I'm suspect of the other reviews here...
