How it works

Catering, in three steps.

Tell us about the occasion; we'll handle the trays.

  1. Tell us about your group

    How many guests, where and when — at least 48 hours ahead — and whether it's a lunch, a celebration or a late night.

  2. We build your menu

    We size half and full trays of samsa, hand-pulled noodles, Big Plate Chicken, kebabs, polow and baklava to fit your crowd, dietary needs included.

  3. We deliver, you host

    Hot trays arrive ready to serve from the Dolan nearest you — scheduled drop-off included, delivery from $25 depending on distance — with everything you need to set the table.
