Catering FAQ

Questions, answered

Do you do canapés and finger food in Dubai?
Yes. We turn Levantine favourites into bite-size pieces: kibbeh, falafel, yalanji, halloumi, tawook, mini manakish and kunafa. We confirm the exact pieces with your quote.
How many pieces per guest do I need?
For a short reception, plan around 6 to 8 pieces per guest. For an event that replaces a meal, plan around 12 to 15. We size it with you.
Can you cater a networking or launch event?
Yes. Small bites suit standing events where guests mingle. We deliver trays ready to display or pass.
Do you have vegetarian small bites?
Yes. Falafel, yalanji, halloumi, manakish and mezze cups are all vegetarian.
Can small bites be delivered to an office or hotel venue in Dubai?
Yes, where the venue allows outside catering. Send the venue and time and we plan delivery.
How many guests can you cater in Dubai?
From about 10 guests up to 1,000. Small gatherings get platters or a mezze table, and large weddings and corporate events get a full buffet with setup and service staff. Share your headcount and your Dubai location and we size the menu and quote.
