By cuisine
The communal feast, made halal: chicken adobo, kare-kare oxtail stew, lumpia, and pancit bihon — a family-style spread built for a kamayan table, cooked from scratch in one zabiha-sourced kitchen.

At catering scale
Filipino food is built for gathering — platters that travel well, flavors that reward slow cooking, and a table meant to be shared. At Carthage we bring that spirit to catering with a spread anchored in adobo, kare-kare, and garlic fried rice, rounded out with lumpia that stays crisp, pancit bihon noodles, and longganisa sliders made from zabiha-sourced meats. The heart of our Filipino table is a halal-friendly lineup that doesn't compromise on depth: sour sinigang, tender oxtail stew, and bright atchara pickled papaya that cuts through the richness exactly when you need it.
Every tray leaves our single Los Angeles kitchen, which means Filipino dishes can share an event with Korean BBQ, Lebanese mezze, or a Vietnamese pho bar — all priced together per guest without a separate vendor fee. Dietary tags are clear: adobo and kare-kare are naturally gluten-free, pancit can go vegan or vegetarian on request, and our desserts — leche flan, ube halaya, bibingka coconut cake — are the kind of sweet finish that feels both nostalgic and new. Whether you're hosting a kamayan-style feast where guests eat off banana leaves or a plated service across LA and Orange County, the food arrives ready to bring people shoulder to shoulder.

| 25 | $625 – $2,525 | $25 – $101 |
| 50 | $1,250 – $5,050 | $25 – $101 |

Food only. Staffing, rentals, delivery, setup and breakdown are separate lines, and a mandatory service charge and California sales tax apply on top — so the invoice for a staffed event runs meaningfully above the food figure. Smaller counts sit at the top of the band: setup and delivery cost the same at 25 guests as at 100. Every menu halal · zabiha-sourced.
