Kabob & Shawarma Catering

Kabobs and shawarma are the two mains most groups build an order around. Kabobs are grilled to order on skewers; shawarma is marinated meat slow-roasted and sliced thin. Both go over rice or into bread, and both are better with a sauce on the side.

Kabob skewers

Kabobs are sold by the skewer, and you can mix and match kinds in one order. The menu sets a 10-skewer minimum per order. Current prices per skewer:

Skewer	Price
Chicken	$7 each
Kafta (seasoned ground beef)	$7 each
Vegetable	$7 each
Beef	$10 each
Lamb	$10 each
Shrimp	$10 each
Salmon	$10 each

Beef and lamb skewers can be ordered at the doneness you choose, from rare to well done. For a mixed crowd, medium or medium-well is the safe middle.

How many skewers per person?

• Kabobs as the only main: plan one and a half to two skewers per guest, with rice and a salad. For 20 guests, that is 30 to 40 skewers.
• Kabobs next to a shawarma tray: about one skewer per guest is enough.
• Hearty eaters (teams, crews, a dinner): two per guest.

A sensible mix for most groups is mostly chicken ($7 each) and kafta ($7 each), with a smaller number of beef, lamb or shrimp. Add a few vegetable skewers if you have guests who skip meat; ask us how they are prepared if that matters for your group.

Shawarma trays

Shawarma comes from the Levant: layers of marinated meat stacked on a vertical spit, slow-roasted and shaved thin. The catering menu has three trays, each in two sizes.

• Chicken shawarma: thinly sliced boneless chicken, marinated and slow-roasted, with pickles and garlic sauce. An easy pick for a mixed group: $65 small / $120 large.
• Beef shawarma: marinated beef, slow-roasted, with onion, tomatoes, parsley and tahini sauce: $100 small / $200 large.
• Gyro: a lean lamb and beef blend, broiled and sliced: $65 small / $120 large. How it differs from shawarma is on the Greek catering page.

Order one tray per course for your headcount: a large tray serves 20–22. For 40 guests, that is 2 large trays; split it between chicken and beef so people can choose.

Sauces, rice and bread

Sauces, rice and bread are separate items on the catering menu, so you choose exactly what and how much your group needs. Sauces are sold in 16 oz containers, about two cups each:

• Garlic sauce ($7 16 oz): the classic with chicken shawarma and chicken skewers.
• Spicy garlic sauce ($7 16 oz): the same with heat.
• Tahini ($7 16 oz): sesame sauce for beef shawarma, kafta and falafel.
• Tzatziki ($7 16 oz): yogurt and cucumber, for gyro and lamb.
• Green sauce ($7 16 oz): ask us to describe it when you order if your guests haven't tried it.

Plan roughly one container of each sauce you choose per small tray of meat. Rice comes by the tray ($35 small / $50 large) and tandoori bread by the dozen ($16 a dozen): one piece of bread per guest, two if you are not serving rice.
