Basil & Spice Catering

Basil & Spice Catering, based in Dubai Industrial City, works across hospital catering, corporate lunches and private celebrations. In the reviews, that means patient meals delivered at hospitals, buffet lunches for client meetings, office catering and staffed event service rather than a conventional walk-in restaurant. Hospital food is the clearest strength.

Reviewers describe healthy, flavourful meals, clean packing, generous portions and menus for both kids and adults. One Aster review specifically mentions steamed vegetables, dal curry, palak paneer, cut fruit and soup, while another says diet preferences came with “lot of options”. Service is often praised as courteous and attentive, including staff checking how patients felt about the food.

For private orders, the range is more interesting than a standard buffet: customers mention a Thanksgiving turkey with bread stuffing and cranberry sauce, a desert BBQ with desserts, and carefully clarified PURE JAIN and VEGAN food. A company anniversary also included a cocktail bar, and a children’s menu was popular at a birthday party. Several reviewers say short-notice events were handled smoothly.

There are caveats. One hospital customer found the meals hit and miss, and another reported very bad food at Aster; a Medcare reviewer also found cutlery consistently short and peak-hour service difficult. If ordering for a hospital stay or event, confirm diet or allergy requirements and quantities in advance, and ask how peak service is handled.
