Akmals Catering

We hired Akmal catering in Dec 2025 for June 2026 wedding. We visited their Springfield store front for food tasting and was wowed. Everything was delicious with true Pakistani flavor. We also loved the care to detail and was told they pack food at the end of ceremony for family as we all know we don’t eat when all is in play. We just had our event 2 weeks ago and my guests are still raving about the food. We were able to customize the menu, price was amazing and there was enough food for our 200 guests. We never had to worry about quantity or quality. I highly recommend Akmal’s and will come back definitely. Beliw are very few pictures I was able to gather. May ALLAH swt give Barak to your business. Ameen!!!

Very delicious food highly recommended

Review: Akhmal Kitchen/Khaas Cart/Food Ex Catering (the family running this uses all 3 names interchangeably) I ordered catering for my son’s birthday party from them and had the WORST experience. I really want everyone to be aware and mindful when ordering from them. Firstly, I ordered food for 80 people and they charged $40 per person. Many of the items ran out during the event and when I requested if they had extras, they told me they did not. If you are charging per person, then you should definitely have food for everybody. Additionally the dishes that they sent me pictures of before hand looked nothing like the dishes, which were at my event. The dishes were sloppy and they were cooked at home by some auntie (not at the restaurant as I was told it would be). If you are cooking food at home and bringing it to an event, then you definitely should be charging less. $40/person means that you should be providing high-quality dishes with neat presentation. This is not even the worst part. There were two dishes of mine which ended up being rotten. They did not have any replacement for these dishes as well and had no explanation for why two dishes were rotten, even though they claimed that they were made fresh. I’ve been requesting a refund from them and the ownerss Akmal and his daughter (she goes by the name Afra Sohaib on Facebook) blocked my number and refuse to refund for the two rotten dishes. They agreed to the refund initially, however, never sent the money and have blocked all communications from me. Additionally, Afra was operating Food ex catering and Khaas kitchen without a proper license and LLC. She claims that she did have all proper licensing, however, my venue received licensing information from Akmal Kitchen. This is all to find out that her dad (Akmal) is involved in this scam. He allows her to use a few dishes from her restaurant and allows her to cook the rest at home to do Catering. This is completely unprofessional, unethical, and completely wrong. As we rely on halal Food, as consumers. We do not have many options. Desi business owners really think that they can take advantage of us and run scams and steal our money.
