Why Book Drop-Off

The food shows up ready — you take it from there

We deliver, you serve yourselves, and nobody from our team stays on site.

No staff, no setup, no cleanup

Trays arrive ready to eat with serving ware — your team serves itself.

One order covers everyone

Halal, vegan, gluten-free-friendly, and meat-eating guests in one delivery.

Ready to eat on arrival

No reheating or assembly — trays land portioned and go straight on the table.

Most economical service style

Roughly $20–$27 per person, with no per-server fee.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between drop-off and staffed catering?
With drop-off, we deliver family-style trays with optional place settings, ready to eat, and your team serves itself — no one from our staff stays on site. Staffed full-service means our team is there to set up and serve. Drop-off is our most economical service style; staffed events of 50+ guests need at least 3 days' notice.
How much notice do you need for drop-off?
At least 10 hours for drop-off orders of up to 30 guests (24 hours for 50 or more). The sooner you reach out, the easier it is to lock in your date.
Do you deliver across San Diego County?
Yes. We cater across San Diego County from our Ocean Beach kitchen. Delivery is available and the fee varies by distance — let us know your location for an exact quote.
Can one drop-off order cover different diets?
It can. Every tray is halal-sourced, and we offer a full vegan menu plus gluten-free-friendly builds. A single order can serve halal, vegan, gluten-free-friendly, and meat-eating guests together.
How do I order drop-off catering?
Request a quote through our catering form at shawarmahousesd.com/mediterranean-catering-san-diego/#catering-form, call us at (619) 352-0144, or order through ezCater. We'll confirm your package, headcount, and delivery details.
