Oren’s Kitchen

Oren’s Kitchen is a wonderful catering service. I have done 2 parties with them. The first one was a large (30 people) birthday party with appetizers and food. The 2^nd one was a party with coworkers with light food and drinks.
The crew is very professional, service oriented and nice. They arrive on time, take control of the party area and make the event happen. They clean everything after the event and leave you with delicious leftovers.
This service isn’t cheap but the cost is negotiated upfront and there are no hidden fees.
Highly recommended.

Oren’s Kitchen has been my preferred source of healthy nuts ever since I first tried them. The pecans are excellent, with a very nuanced balance of smoked paprika. I have had a lot of flavored nuts from many places, and Oren’s are the best I’ve had since they are not overly seasoned with salt! Just the right amount of spices allows the inherent flavor of the nuts, like the pecans, resonate with ones taste buds. The Coconut Chili Macadamias are excellent as well, since there is a fine balance of spice and honey, which have a complimentary effect as flavoring goes. High quality nuts on their own have great flavor, and all of the nuts I have tried from Oren’s Kitchen have been of such remarkable quality.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Arnon and his team for a very special event. My first impression of Arnon was very good, I felt like we ‘clicke’. Our initial discussions regarding the menu and the overall event were timely and enjoyable. After meeting Arnon and his team and sampling some items we quickly realized this: you need to let these guys do what they do… meaning, give them the freedom to create something fantastic and you won’t be disappointed.
The total service provided by Arnon and his team was top notch. I felt very confident that our party was in good hands. From the moment they arrived, the staff took control and executed. It was a pleasure working with the entire team.
Here is my husband’s feedback:
«Last weekend my wife threw me a birthday party and had it catered by Arnon. We sampled a few dishes before deciding on the ones that actually would be served at the party and gave Oren some leeway in actually choosing what might be great for that day based on availability. On the afternoon of the event the staff showed up and they were totally professional and organized. They did an outstanding job of serving and keeping everything running on track. The food was absolutely awesome and the whole event exceeded my expectations in every way. What really blew me away is the fact that when the appetizers were being passed around there was actually a seat urchin version –this is was one of my favorites and a total surprise. Thank you Oren’s Kitchen!!!»
Thank you Arnon, Oren and team for helping create a fantastic experience for us and our guests and for paying attention to all of the little details, it did not go unnoticed!

Oren’s Kitchen add various flavors to nuts to create an unique taste.
with the macadamian nuts, it is was chile. with cashews, it’s cumin plus, think almonds was rosemary. etc.
locale: eat real 2014(9/21)
eats:indian ajwain cashews (5)
–doesn’t taste that unique
–same with the macadamian nuts, not much added
problem may be nuts so unique tasting adding other flavors pointless.

I contacted Oren’s Kitchen to caterer a work event. We have a few people that have dietary restrictions, such as Kosher and vegetarian. Oren worked quickly, and he created a menu that would make all our employees feel welcome. On the day of, Oren’s Kitchen arrived promptly, and handled everything. It was really nice to not worry about the food– A server passed around the food.
I think every employee who attended the event commented on how great the food was– and I couldn’t agree more. He made me look great– can’t hope for anything more than that!

Oren’s Kitchen does great work. They have delivered lunch for our company for a few years now, and have done a tremendous job at scaling the food to fit our growing company. They use quality ingredients, and have competent chefs preparing the meals. I’d use them again in a heartbeat.

Arnon and his team stormed into my kitchen, took control and turned my company holiday party into the best one I have ever had the pleasure of attending. The food was prepared on site and was simply outstanding both in quality and variety. The servers were extremely well trained and friendly. They cleaned up and left our kitchen spotless. Our guests all enjoyed themselves extremely and not a single non-​complementary work was uttered about the catering.

Delicious and Divine. From small intimate dinners to large wedding parties — Oren’s Kitchen has been our favorite for creative cuisine, elegance, and impeccable service. Pure perfection.

Oren’s Kitchen is TOP NOTCH. They catered our wedding in San Francisco for almost 200ppl and the event and food were flawless. Arnon is foremost an amazingly nice person, and of course a world class chef. I have spent almost 20 years in the restaurant industry all up and down the west coast, so needless to say I have a keen eye for attention to detail, quality ingredients and execution.
We were offered event venue «walk-​thrus» where we could sit down and personally speak with Arnon about the menu. He is VERY good with email communication and prompt telephone replies, which was of obvious importance to us in the planning stages for our special day.
Our guests have commented numerous times of how stellar the food was at our wedding, and hoped that we would pass this on to Oren’s kitchen and others alike!
In short, on the day of our wedding we knew that we had NOTHING to think about except one thing: «When can we finally eat!»
P. S. Our favorite nuts we’ve ever had are from Oren’s kitchen, the «Indian Ajwain Cashews» featured on their website (amongst other treats).

Oren’s Kitchen catered an all-​day meeting for my workplace (70 guests), and I was extremely impressed.
The group for whom Arnon Oren catered has a very wide range of dietary needs — and there was something for everyone! Plenty of delicious options for gluten-​free, vegans, and meat eaters, alike! My boss shared with me that he ate 3 servings of the chicken because it was so good.
Arnon Oren was extremely easy to work with and very flexible.
I would recommend Oren’s Kitchen and look forward to working with Arnon again soon.
Thank you, Arnon!

AMAZING Caterers!!! I have worked with Chef Arnon many times for high end private parties. From the delicious food, to helpful and organized staff, Parties are guaranteed to be perfect! His diverse knowledge of international cuisines, and the ability to create fusion dishes, make him the most sought after Chef in the Bay Area. I recommend Oren’s Kitchen hands down, for any event, and believe me, you will be blown away by the results. Your party will be talked about for years to come!!!

Oren’s Kitchen caters three times a week for our small company, 23andMe. We have about 80 employees and Chef Arnon always checks in and makes sure all 80 of us are happy.
The ingredients are fresh and organic and the menu is always changing to keep us interested! I have recommended Oren’s Kitchen to many of my friends looking for an office caterer and they have been nothing but satisfied with the service and the food.
5 Stars for Chef Arnon and his talented and delightful staff! Highly recommended!

Chef Oren catered our wedding a few years ago, and we loved his food, especially the local, seasonal ingredients he emphasizes, and his easygoing manner. My husband and I lived on the east coast at the time, and kept joking that if we ever moved to Marin, the first thing we’d do is have a big party so that we could hire Chef Oren again. Well, we finally moved to Marin a few months ago, and Chef Oren and his crew did an outstanding job at our housewarming party. We asked him to think of a menu, for both adults and small children, and the food was fantastic — unique and sophisticated for the adults, and tasty /​healthy for the kids. And he and his crew were easy to work with — laid-​back yet professional, and they kept the party running very smoothly. We would definitely hire him again.

He catered some food for a company lunch. It was REALLY good. And I appreciate that he pays attention to where his ingredients are from – that’s very important to me.

If you are looking for a caterer, Chef Oren is an expert at his craft. He is a perfect addition to your event and will accommodate your food wishes. His attention to detail and smartly paired flavors are a rare find.

As the other Unilocalers have mentioned, Arnon’s gourmet nuts are amazing and would be a great addition to a cocktail party or even just a snack. They are soooo yummy.
I have had the pleasure of enjoying Arnon’s catering and it’s even better than his nuts (if you can image that). Oren’s Kitchen only uses seasonal and fresh ingredients. Everything they make is delicious. I don’t think there’s one thing they’ve made that I haven’t loved.
My favs:
Smoked salmon
BBQ pork shoulder
Steak with chimichurri sauce
Romano bean salad
Next time you need a catered meal give Arnon a call, you will not regret it.

Holy Good Lord Baby Jesus —
Gourmet nuts: wild rosemary almonds & the indian ajwain cashews are tied for my faves.
I am happy to see them at Roberts (both Woodside and Portola Valley locations) as well as Whole Foods.
I haven’t tried Oren’s catering yet but based on his awesome nuts, I’m thinking he has some serious skill in the kitchen. :)

I recently met Arnon Oren, Chef and Owner at Oren’s Kitchen, and, let me just say, I am CRAZY for his NUTS! Oren’s Kitchen roasts these nuts that are absolutely phenominal!
Smoked Paprika Pecans: Great pungent kick to them!
Wild Rosemary Almonds: Not too salty, not too dry, just right!!!
Indian Ajwain Cashews: Like butter baby!
Coconut Chili Macadamias: Sweet and savory with a bit-o’-crunch!
OMG!!! A great variety of aperitifs for that before-​dinner/​wine-​bar gathering! Grab a bag online to bring to your next party, and I’m sure you could never go wrong!
He does also do catering too, but I haven’t hosted a party to give you the skinny on that… yet!
