Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver to Sorrento Valley, Torrey Pines, and the UTC corridor?
Yes. We deliver across San Diego County, including the Sorrento Valley / Torrey Pines / University City (UTC) corridor and Downtown. Delivery is free within 5 miles of our Ocean Beach kitchen, $30 for 5–15 miles, $50 for 16–40 miles, and $60 beyond that; pickup at 4884 Newport Ave is free if someone from your team is already nearby.
Can you set up a recurring weekly lunch program for our office?
Yes. We run standing orders on any cadence — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — so we can hold a regular slot for your team. Tell us your headcount and delivery window and we'll keep it on the books; you can adjust the order or pause it as your schedule changes.
We hire globally and have a lot of dietary needs — can one order cover halal, vegan, and gluten-free?
Yes, that's built in. All of our beef and chicken has been halal since we opened, we carry a full vegan menu, and we do gluten-free-friendly builds over saffron rice with no pita (our kitchen is shared, so it's gluten-free-friendly rather than certified). One order can cover all three at once — just tell us the rough split and we'll portion it.
Can you box meals individually for desks and lab benches?
Individually boxed lunches are available by quote. Box contents, pricing, quantities, and preparation time are confirmed in your written quote. For shared trays, compare the current catering packages. Family Tray serves 7–10 for $159.99; 20-person Spread serves 20 for $399; 30-person Office Spread serves 30 for $599; 50-person Full Spread serves 50 for $999; 75-person Banquet Spread serves 75 for $1,500; 100-person Grand Spread serves 100 for $1,999. Spreads for 20 to 100 guests work out to about $20 per person.
Do you invoice on Net-30 so this can go through our AP department?
Yes. We offer Net-30 invoicing for established business accounts, so your AP team can pay on terms rather than at the time of order. Reach out through our quote form and we'll set up your account.
Our headcount changes week to week — can you scale the order up and down?
Yes. For shared spreads we have tray bundles sized to your group: 20-person Spread $399 (feeds 20), 30-person Office Spread $599 (feeds 30), 50-person Full Spread $999 (feeds 50), and 100-person Grand Spread $1,999 (feeds 100), which works out to roughly $19.95–$20.00 per person at every size, before delivery, tax and extras. For boxed lunches, just give us an updated count each week (quantities confirmed in your quote). Standing orders make it easy to revise the number before each delivery.
How much lead time do you need, and how big can you go for an all-hands?
We need at least 10 hours for a standard drop-off of up to 30 guests; 50 or more guests need at least 24 hours. For a large all-hands, our 100-person Grand Spread feeds 100, and if you want servers on site for an event of 50+ guests we offer full-service staffed service — quoted per event — please give us at least 3 days' notice for staffed events that size.
Can we order through ezCater, and how do you handle where to deliver at our building?
Yes, you can book us through ezCater, or use our quote form at https://shawarmahousesd.com/mediterranean-catering-san-diego/#catering-form or call (619) 352-0144. For delivery, just tell us where to bring it — reception, a loading dock, or a specific suite — and that's where it goes. Every spread arrives with beef and chicken shawarma, saffron rice, salad, hummus, falafel, pita, house sauces, and optional place settings available by request.
