Our goal is to make your event planning smooth and your event itself a joy, so you can focus on your guests and have a truly carefree experience.
A Taste of the Mediterranean
When you want to bring the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to your event, you need food that’s not just good, but truly memorable. We focus on creating dishes that capture the essence of the region, using recipes passed down through generations and the freshest ingredients we can find. It’s about more than just a meal; it’s about an experience that transports your guests.
Fresh, Flavorful Appetizers and Mezze
Kick off your gathering with a spread of small bites that are perfect for sharing and sparking conversation. Imagine creamy hummus and smoky baba ghanoush served with warm, fluffy pita bread. Or perhaps a bright, zesty tabbouleh salad, bursting with fresh herbs and vegetables. Crispy falafel, golden brown and delicious, is always a hit, especially for those looking for a vegetarian option. We also have savory cheese rolls and traditional kibbeh for those who enjoy a heartier start.
Signature Entrées and Catering Trays
For the main event, our entrées are designed to impress. We offer slow-roasted chicken and beef shawarma, seasoned to perfection and incredibly tender. Our combo kebabs feature a mix of grilled chicken, beef, and lamb, marinated in our special blend of spices for a truly authentic taste. If you like a bit of heat, our spicy chicken dish is a customer favorite, packed with bold, satisfying flavors. We also have seafood options, like grilled salmon and shrimp kebabs, for a lighter yet equally delicious choice.
Family-Style Buffet Options
If you’re aiming for a relaxed, communal dining experience, our family-style buffet options are the way to go. Picture platters piled high with our popular combo kebabs, served alongside fluffy rice pilaf and creamy garlic sauce. Or perhaps the spicy chicken, accompanied by roasted red potatoes and fresh sautéed vegetables. The chicken shawarma plate, with its tender, marinated meat, hummus, pita, and rice, makes for a complete and satisfying meal that guests can serve themselves. It’s a wonderful way to encourage mingling and enjoyment at any event.
Sweet Endings and Savory Delights
No Mediterranean feast is truly complete without a sweet finish, and we’ve got you covered. We offer a delightful array of authentic Middle Eastern desserts that are sure to impress your guests. Think flaky, honey-drenched baklava, rich and creamy knafeh with its unique cheese filling, and the delicate Lebanese ashtalieh, a milk pudding often topped with pistachios and rosewater. These aren’t just afterthoughts; they’re a celebration of tradition and flavor.
We understand that events come in all sizes, so we provide options for everyone. You can opt for beautifully arranged dessert trays, perfect for a buffet or shared table, or choose individually portioned sweets for easy serving. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference for your guests.
For those seeking a lighter, yet equally satisfying conclusion to their meal, our fresh Mediterranean bowls are a fantastic choice. Packed with vibrant ingredients and your choice of protein, they offer a refreshing and wholesome end to any gathering.
Here’s a peek at some of our popular sweet selections:
- Baklava: Layers of crisp phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and sweet syrup.
- Knafeh: A warm, cheesy pastry soaked in fragrant syrup.
- Ashtalieh: A smooth, chilled milk pudding, often garnished with nuts.
These traditional treats are made with care, using recipes passed down through generations, just like the rest of our menu. They’re the perfect way to add a memorable touch to your event, whether it’s a grand celebration or an intimate get-together.
