Lebanese catering in Los Angeles.
The mezze table, the shawarma cone, and the grill: hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, falafel, kibbeh, and a mixed grill of chicken shawarma, beef kafta, and kebabs. From warm pita to baklava and knafeh, every plate is zabiha-sourced.
At catering scale
Catering Lebanese, honestly
Lebanese food is the original shareable cuisine — mezze that sprawls across the table, grilled meats sliced thin off the skewer, and warm pita never more than an arm's reach away. Carthage builds its Lebanese catering around this rhythm: hummus and baba ganoush made from scratch, tabbouleh and fattoush bright with lemon and herbs, falafel fried to order and kibbeh with that essential cracked-wheat shell. The grill is the centerpiece — chicken shawarma marinated and stacked, beef kafta with parsley and onion, a mixed grill that gives every guest a cross-section of the menu. Every piece of meat is halal and zabiha-sourced, and we're transparent about it: our suppliers hold the halal certification and will show it on request, and we claim none of our own.
Operating from one Los Angeles kitchen means the mezze spread can flow into Mexican tacos, Thai curries, or a sushi bar at the same event — all on one per-guest price, no outside caterer fees layered on. Dietary flexibility is built into the cuisine itself: falafel, hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, and fattoush are naturally vegan and gluten-free friendly, while the grill proteins anchor the table for omnivores. Baklava and warm knafeh close the meal with the honey-and-nut sweetness that makes Lebanese hospitality legendary. From an intimate engagement party to a corporate reception across LA and Orange County, this is food that makes a room feel like a home.

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.
Questions
Lebanese catering, answered honestly
What does Lebanese catering cost in Los Angeles?
Trays, platters and pans run $50–$225, with individual boxed meals from $11. A mezze opening with hummus, tabbouleh and warm pita is inexpensive per head; the mixed grill and shawarma builds carry the middle and top. Every platter states its serving count.
Is the whole Lebanese menu halal?
Yes — every protein is zabiha-sourced, and no arak, wine or any other alcohol enters a marinade or a stew. Sesame runs right through this menu in the tahini, hummus and baba ganoush, so it is labeled per dish rather than assumed, along with the vegan and gluten-free lines.
Can Lebanese catering run as drop-off, buffet or live stations?
All three, and it is one of the most flexible menus we run. Mezze, salads and dips are built to be set and left; the mixed grill and kebabs work as a staffed buffet; and shawarma carves to order at a live station, which is the version guests remember.
Which Lebanese dishes should anchor our menu?
Hummus with warm pita and tabbouleh open almost every event we cater. The mixed grill anchors the mains, with chicken shawarma where you want one carving station, and the shawarma-spiced cauliflower bowl or lentil-mushroom kofta means vegans eat a main rather than a side. Baklava or knafeh closes it.
