Our Story

Testimonials

Our clients love the food and communal spirit we bring to their events. Here's what they have to say:

“We had a wonderful experience with Baraka & Bilal Catering for our event. The service was great, and the food was amazing. Our guests were very pleased; we look forward to using you again in the future.”

Shannon M. Bryant
Volunteer Engagement Manager, Girl Scouts San Diego

“The catering experience with Baraka & Bilal was nothing short of extraordinary! The food was delicious—the sambusas and chicken were gone in minutes! Baraka & Bilal provided a bag to easily transport the food, which we returned once we were done. The staff clearly care about the quality of the food, and the overarching mission of UWEAST shines through in their service.”

“For the past several years my go-to caterer has been the brilliant team of The United Women of East Africa! From the time they arrive at our events through the the final minutes of breakdown their service, professionalism and along with their a unique and delicious food is well beyond any services we have hired in the past. Knowing they give back to their community is just the 'icing on the coconut cake!'"
