The neighborhood

Catering Sherman Oaks, properly

Ventura and Sepulveda. The office core of Sherman Oaks sits where Ventura Boulevard meets Sepulveda Boulevard, by the 405 and the 101 and next to the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Valley Executive Tower on that corner alone is 21 stories. A tower lunch runs on a dock booking, a security list and an elevator, so we ask for those before we ask about the menu, and our certificate of insurance goes to your building manager before delivery. Boxed meals start at 15 and need 8 days’ notice. They are labeled for contents and allergens and sorted by floor or team. Drop-off trays need 8 days’ notice. Corporate catering starts at $21 a guest, all-in.

Homes in the hills. Sherman Oaks reaches into the Santa Monica Mountains, so a party here can be in a hillside home as easily as on a flat street in the valley. A hillside address changes the plan: where the van parks, how far the carry is, and whether there is room for a buffet line. We ask for the address, the parking and the time guests arrive, then set the menu and the crew. Private events start at $28 a guest, all-in, with the staff, delivery and setup inside that price. Tastings, rentals and California sales tax are extra, and there is no service charge.

Persian family tables. In the 2000 census, Iran was the most common birthplace among Sherman Oaks residents born abroad, as the Los Angeles Times reported. If your family table runs on Persian food, our Persian menu is halal and zabiha-sourced like everything we cook, so one order feeds the whole party. Ask for it by name when you request a proposal.

Parks and public events. The Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Park has a pool, an auditorium, ball fields, courts and a gym, and it suits a team day or a family party. Ask the park's recreation center what your group needs before you plan food there. If your event is open to the public, the food at it falls under Los Angeles County Environmental Health, which covers the City of Los Angeles, so ask the organizer who files for it. Company picnics start at $28 a guest, all-in.

Questions

Catering in Sherman Oaks, answered

How much does catering cost in Sherman Oaks?
Catering in Sherman Oaks starts around $21 per guest, all-in, and where you land depends on the occasion and how it is served. Corporate from $21 per guest, Private Events from $28 per guest, Office Lunch from $21 per guest. Those figures include the food and the staff, delivery and setup its service style needs; tastings, rentals, add-on services and California sales tax are extra, and there is no service charge.

How far in advance should I book catering in Sherman Oaks?
1–4 weeks typical for Sherman Oaks. Larger and more staffed events want the longer end of that, and a drop-off can often move faster — drop-off catering needs 8 days’ notice. Dates in peak season go first, so the earlier the guest count is firm, the more the calendar can hold.
What kinds of events do you cater in Sherman Oaks?
Corporate, Private Events and Office Lunch are the events we plan for most often in Sherman Oaks, though we cater the full range — weddings, corporate programmes, private parties and recurring office meals — under one contract, with one coordinator from first call to cleanup.
Do you deliver to Sherman Oaks?
Yes, ready-to-serve and labeled. Delivery within 15 miles of our kitchen is included in the per-guest price; farther addresses are charged per extra mile, and a load that needs an extra vehicle is itemized, both on your proposal before you accept. Your proposal shows the drive to Sherman Oaks and any mileage. We cover Burbank, Beverly Hills and Hollywood on the same runs.
Is the food halal?
Yes — every menu we run is halal and zabiha-sourced by default, at no price premium. Our suppliers hold halal certification, with documentation available on request; we claim none of our own. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options run through every menu rather than sitting in one corner of it, and each delivery carries content and allergen sheets.
Can you cater lunch in a Sherman Oaks office tower on Ventura Boulevard?
Yes. A tower lunch where Ventura meets Sepulveda runs on a dock booking, a security list and an elevator, so we ask for those before we ask about the menu, and our certificate of insurance goes to your building manager before delivery. Individually boxed meals start at 15 guests, need 8 days’ notice, and are sorted by floor or team. Corporate catering starts at $21 a guest, all-in.

Tastings, rentals and California sales tax are extra.
Can you cater a party at a hillside home in Sherman Oaks?
Yes. Sherman Oaks reaches into the Santa Monica Mountains, and a hillside address changes the plan: where the van parks, how far the carry is, and whether there is room for a buffet line.
