Our craft

One kitchen, 22 menus, zero shortcuts.

Everything is scratch-cooked under chef Aimen Shili — Tunis-born, Lyon-trained — from a Mediterranean program built on his grandmother’s recipes to BBQ, Mexican, Italian, American, and a fusion test kitchen.

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

Planning a budget? How much catering costs in Los Angeles

By cuisine

Our kitchens, one roof.

One chef, one brigade, every flavor profile — proof that breadth and depth can share a kitchen.

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

Straight from the fire

Abundance, plated with restraint.

22menus, one brigade — every dish scratch-cooked the morning of 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.

01

Scale without seams

From a table of twelve to a reception of two hundred — same brigade, same standard, rehearsed minute-maps either way.

02

Compliance on file

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

03

Dietary engineering

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

04

One-kitchen logistics

Thirteen menus out of one chef-led kitchen: one truck, one invoice, one accountable team — even when the menu crosses borders.
