What Our Clients Say
"We partnered with Jaflong Tandoori for our annual Richmond community auction. Not only was the food exceptional—our guests are still talking about the Lamb Biryani—but the team worked closely with us to fit within our tight budget. Their professionalism was a key factor in us hitting our fundraising target this year."
— Sarah Jenkins, Local Education Trust Organiser
"Finding fundraiser catering that is both Halal-certified and high-quality can be a challenge. Jaflong made it easy. They provided a fantastic spread for 150 people and even offered a non-profit discount that allowed us to put more money back into our youth programmes. Highly recommended!"
