Our craft

One team, 22 menus, zero shortcuts.

Founded by Aimen Shili — a hospitality professional with 20+ years across hotels, restaurants, and catering in Tunisia, Europe, and California — every one of our eighteen cuisines is cooked to our menu and one standard — in our own kitchen, or by a vetted kitchen that specialises in it.

Same sourcing rules, same coordinator, same standard — whether the brief is a cliffside wedding for 180 or Tuesday lunch for a 140-seat office.

By cuisine

Every cuisine, one contract.

Our own kitchen and a bench of specialists, one coordinator — each cuisine cooked by the people who cook it best, held to one standard.

An abundant Mediterranean feast — mezze, grilled kebabs, saffron rice and flatbread on a candlelit table

Straight from the fire

Abundance, plated with restraint.

22 menus, one coordinator — every dish made fresh, in our kitchen or a specialist’s, and composed for the room you’re feeding.

By place

Across Los Angeles — and we know your block.

Estate staff entrances north of Sunset, studio-gate lunch windows, DTLA freight elevators, harbor wind off Long Beach. We plan for the neighborhood, not just the address.

Why Carthage

The logistics must be as good as the food.

Scale without seams

From an intimate table to a reception of two hundred — same team, same standard, rehearsed minute-maps either way.

Compliance on file

$2M liability, ServSafe-certified leads, COIs before delivery, allergen sheets with every order. Procurement loves us.

Dietary engineering

Vegan, halal, gluten-free — parallel tracks plated identically, derived from real dish data, never asserted.

One-contract logistics

18 cuisine menus from our own kitchen and our specialist partners: one contract, one invoice, one accountable team — even when the menu crosses borders.

In their words

Named clients. Real rooms.
