Shawarma catering menu

What comes in a shawarma catering spread?

Our shawarma catering packages center on beef and chicken shawarma carved from the vertical spit, with yellow basmati rice, salad, fresh hummus, hand-formed falafel, pita, and four house sauces. Vegan and gluten-free-friendly additions can be labeled separately; we prepare everything in a shared kitchen.

Current Toast packages serve 20, 30, 50, 75, or 100 guests. Compare the current sizes, prices, contents, and notice windows on the catering packages section, or browse à-la-carte catering trays for additions.

Frequently asked questions

What's actually in a shawarma spread?
Every spread comes with both beef and chicken shawarma, saffron rice, fresh salad, hummus, falafel, pita, and our house sauces. Place settings are optional Toast add-ons; single-use serviceware is only sent when requested, so you can set it out and go. It's a complete meal, not just the meat, and it covers most guests' tastes without you having to add anything.
How is the shawarma prepared, and is it halal?
All of our beef and chicken has been halal since the day we opened. We cook the shawarma the traditional way and shave it fresh for your order, then pack it hot alongside the saffron rice, hummus, falafel, salad, pita, and house sauces. It is the same Mediterranean shawarma we serve in the restaurant, just sized for your event.
Is the shawarma cooked fresh, or pre-made and reheated?
It's made for your order, not pulled off a shelf. We shave and pack the shawarma fresh, then deliver it hot so it's ready to serve. For a standard drop-off we ask for about 48 hours' notice, which is what lets us prep everything fresh for your headcount.
Do you carve the shawarma on site at the event?
No, we don't bring a carving setup to your venue. We prepare and shave the shawarma at our kitchen and deliver it hot and ready to serve in trays, with place settings available as optional Toast add-ons. If you want hands-on help at the event itself, we offer full-service staffed servers for groups of 50 or more — quoted per event.
Should I get tray bundles or individually-boxed lunches?
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.
How many people does a shawarma spread feed, and how do I size it?
Our tray bundles are built around headcount: 20-person Spread feeds 20, 30-person Office Spread feeds 30, 50-person Full Spread feeds 50, and 100-person Grand Spread feeds 100. Pick the one closest to your guest count, and if you're between sizes or want extra of any one item, we can add à-la-carte trays to your quote. Tell us your number on the quote form and we'll size it for you.
Can one shawarma order cover vegans and gluten-free guests too?
Yes. Alongside the beef and chicken, every spread already includes falafel, hummus, saffron rice, and salad, and we have a full vegan menu plus gluten-free-friendly builds over rice with no pita. We do want to be upfront that our kitchen is shared, so we're gluten-free-friendly rather than certified gluten-free. Let us know your dietary needs on the quote and we'll make sure those guests are covered.
What about leftovers, delivery, and ongoing orders?
Spreads come in trays with optional place settings, so leftovers are easy to cover and set aside after the event. Delivery is free within 5 miles, $30 for 5 to 15 miles, $50 for 16 to 40 miles, and $60 beyond that across San Diego County, including the Sorrento Valley, Torrey Pines, University City (UTC) corridor, and Downtown, or you can pick up free at 4884 Newport Ave in Ocean Beach. If you feed a crew regularly, we do standing orders on any cadence, weekly, biweekly, or monthly, with Net-30 invoicing for established business accounts.
