Cardamami Catering

Chef Alissa's Cardamami Catering services brings bold flavors, global influences and expertly crafted meals to your table. Whether you’re looking for dinner party or picnic catering in NYC, Westchester, or Connecticut, or need high-end catering for a special event, we create exceptional dining experiences tailored to your needs.

Cardamami is where comfort food meets culture, flavor meets memory, and every dish is made with a whole lot of love. Founded by Chef Alissa, Cardamami is the catering and prepared foods arm of her work — blending seasonal ingredients, global influences, and soulful cooking to create food that’s as personal as it is beautiful. The name is a play on “cardamom,” the aromatic spice found across Middle Eastern and Latin kitchens — and “mami,” a Latin nod to motherhood, nurturing, and the warmth of home. Cardamami reflects both: food that’s full of heart, layered with flavor, and rooted in care.
