Personal Touch Eatery & Catering — Restaurant in Sarnia

I don't write reviews very often and I'm only doing so to inform the wonderful chef who runs this establishment of some troubling stuff at the restaurant side of his business. I got the Sweet Home Alabama with fries today for lunch and was met not only with slow and ineffective service but I have been lurched over my toilet for the past two hours battling the remaining sandwich residing in my innards. The brisket was extremely dry and the spinach looked suspect but rather than believe my first bites, I assumed Paresh would never allow something substandard to go on there and maybe it's just me. The fries were extremely salty so much so that I ended up tossing the remaining portion. I have been making back and forth trips between my bed and the toilet since eating this and I am deeply disappointed that this is the case. I am a BIG fan of Personal Touch but I feel that when Paresh is not present, the quality of the service and the focus on freshness is lacking. I'm extremely hesitant to return but I know that Paresh is a wonderful chef and his catering side of the business is exceptional. My concern is less emphasis is placed on the restaurant and my gut agrees. If anything I'd like to rectify this issue with the owner and I truly hope the caliber of management, service and quality of ingredients can be improved without his overt supervision. I feel the need to check if he's there from this point forward before entering the restaurant or I'll take my...

Chef Paresh and his team were out of this world fantastic!! Paresh catered our fall wedding in Strathroy during this pandemic (both cocktail hour and buffet style dinner). To start, Paresh was so easy going and flexible in helping us make our menu choices and customize it to our tastes and likings. He helped reschedule, rework and readjust to accommodate an ever-changing wedding due to the covid restrictions. He was calm and relaxed when we told him 4 weeks out that we had to chance our venue location last minute. He was organized and on top of every little detail that would ensure that they day went smoothly (and it did!). Pandemic or not, Chef Paresh is a wonderful person to work with; him and his team are professional and kind and most of all, they make the best of food. Our guests had nothing but rave reviews over the food served at our wedding. I cannot say enough to describe how amazing Paresh is. I would recommend him for any of your catering needs a thousand times over. Thanks for all that you did in making our day the...

Absolutely love this place! I have been going for years. Chef P is always so accommodating and has yet to disappoint. I have enjoyed the fresh menu, as well as the frozen meals, and although I have not yet used his catering service, I have enjoyed events catered by him. The weekly menu is determined by what the local farms are producing, supporting small business, and getting the absolute freshest ingredients possible. Personal Touch Eatery and Catering is also quick to support the community, volunteering hours of labor and food to fundraising events such as Empty Bowls which raises funds for the local food banks. Great food. Great business. Great restaurant. Great people. Worth your time and money, you will definitely be back! And of...
