Time the event right
Between June and September, outdoor events work best after 7:30 pm. Anything earlier risks guest discomfort and food safety issues from ambient heat.
Chilled and hot food discipline
Chilled items should be plated in small batches from a refrigerated holding station; hot items should stay in double-walled chafing dishes with fresh sterno every 45 minutes. Salads and dairy items are the highest-risk categories.
Guest comfort
Portable air coolers, misting fans and shaded serving areas are basic hospitality in UAE summer. Serve chilled welcome drinks like jaljeera, aam panna, thandai and rose lassi.
