Our Roots

Iraqi & Middle Eastern Catering

Shawarma House is a family-owned Iraqi-Mediterranean kitchen in Ocean Beach, so our catering is Middle Eastern home cooking made for a crowd. If you are looking for Iraqi, Arabic, or Middle Eastern food catering in San Diego, these are the dishes we cook every day:

Chicken shawarma, our Iraqi specialty: marinated, slow-roasted on the spit and carved to order (in every spread), alongside beef shawarma
Iraqi salad and tabouli trays, plus Greek or fattoush salad
Yellow basmati rice, hand-formed falafel, fresh hummus, and house sauces like garlic paste and tahini

Our beef and chicken are halal-sourced, and vegan and gluten-free-friendly options (prepared in a shared kitchen) go on the same order. Spreads for 20 to 100 guests are about $20 per person. See the packages or read more about Iraqi and Middle Eastern food in San Diego.
