When you want to make your next event memorable, you need to hire the right caterer, and in Columbus, there’s no better option than Helen’s Kitchen & Catering.
Helen’s Kitchen & Catering has received dozens of reviews on four verified sites with an average rating of 4.63 stars, earning them a phenomenal Rating Score™ of 94.32 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 catering companies in all of Mississippi!
Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:
“There is exactly one food item at exactly one restaurant in the Golden Triangle area of MS that is world-class food, and that is the fried chicken at Miss Helen’s. It is by far the best fried chicken in the area and will stand up to the best in the world, including Willie Mae’s in New Orleans. If you love fried chicken, you owe it to yourself to eat Miss Helen’s. The place is not easy to find, there is no sign on the building, but it is well worth the search.” – John C.
Not Your Average Catering Company
State Rep. Kabir Karriem, a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives and the owner of Helen’s Kitchen & Catering, generously gave us a few minutes out of his busy schedule to tell us about his award-winning business and its tremendous online reputation.
The first question we had for Kabir was what sets Helen’s Kitchen & Catering apart from their competition in Mississippi. Here’s his response:
“Helen’s is one of those hidden gems in this community. You can come to Helen’s, and you might be sitting with the mayor of the city. You also can be sitting with a laborer, bricklayer, accountant. The restaurant is so versatile with its clientele and down home feeling, it’s just one of those special places.”
We also wanted to know what their mission is at Helen’s Kitchen & Catering and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Kabir had to say:
“[We make the world a better place] by treating everyone with dignity and respect, and by making sure that they know how much we appreciate them for coming to our establishment. I guess the ultimate adjective and action is love. We just try to love on everyone and treat everyone as if they’re a part of our family, and I think that reputation precedes us.”
Building Success by Treating Customers Like Family
When we asked Kabir what Helen’s Kitchen & Catering’s secret is to such a strong online reputation, he said:
“We just treat every customer as a family member. We cook with love — something my momma started 31 years ago, and we continue it today.”
Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Helen’s Kitchen & Catering has gotten their name out there through social media and radio and television ads, but according to Kamir, word of mouth is their biggest source of growth and has really helped them over the years.
There are so many other restaurant owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Helen’s Kitchen & Catering has. Here’s Kabir’s expert advice for them:
“Restaurant work is not easy, and it takes dedication and sacrifice. Of course, that goes with anything. We try to take care of our customers the best we can. Always remember that your customers could go anywhere else, but they chose your establishment, so make sure they always have the best experience when they visit you.”
Congratulations to the team at Helen’s Kitchen & Catering for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Kabir, for taking the time to speak with us!
