What our hosts say afterwards.
Handled catering for our office event in Business Bay. Food arrived exactly on time, live chaat counter was the highlight, and the team packed up so cleanly you'd never know 180 people had lunch there.

We had 620 guests at our daughter's wedding in Sharjah. Two live counters, full North Indian menu, Jain thali for elders. Everything served hot, staff was polite, uncle-aunty crowd was very happy.

Wedding, 620 guests · Al Majaz, Sharjah
Ordered a small birthday spread for 40 kids at our villa. Kids meal was thoughtful, pav bhaji station was fun, and pricing was straightforward. Booked again for Diwali.

Our story
A recipe box that started in Bikaner, 1905.
Our great-grandfather sold bhujia from a small shop in the desert town of Bikaner. Four generations and one Arabian Sea later, we’re still using his masala ratios.
CateringUAE is our dedicated catering arm. Same kitchens, same recipes, scaled up for boardrooms, banquet halls and beach weddings across the Emirates.
