Halal-sourced meats. Vegan and gluten-free builds come out of the same setup — no separate order needed.
How do I place a catering order?
Same kitchen, three setups we get asked for again and again.
- Carved shawarma + warm pita, with toppings and house sauces lined up bar-style
- Everyone builds their own plate — halal, vegan and gluten-free from one setup
- Add a second bar for every 10 extra people
- Morning spread from the kitchen you already trust: warm pita, falafel, hummus, fresh-cut veggies + fruit
- Hot tea service included
- The most-searched catering window nobody covers — now we do
- Lidded, labeled, low-mess builds — sauces on the side, nothing that drips on a deposition
- Name + dietary tag printed on every box
- Built for boardrooms, in-services and investor lunches
One person owns your order.
Not a ticket queue. A person who knows your building, your headcount and your allergy list — on the catering line at (619) 642-0298, Mon–Fri 7am–4pm.
- We call or text 24–48 hours out to reconfirm headcount, dietary needs and delivery timing
- Last-minute headcount change? That call is when we catch it — not at the door
- Serving spoons, utensils, plates and napkins — default, not an upsell
- Every tray labeled: what it is, what's in it, halal / vegan / gluten-free flags
- Itemized digital invoice, automatically
- PO number or cost-center code on request
- Net-30 house accounts for repeat corporate clients

Catering FAQ

Is the food halal? What about vegan or gluten-free guests?
Our beef and chicken are halal-sourced. We also offer a full vegan menu and gluten-free-friendly builds (prepared in a shared kitchen, so not certified).

Do you offer staffed, full-service catering?
Yes — servers, setup, and on-site carving for events of 50+. Plan on 5 days’ notice, quoted per event.
