Middle Eastern catering in Yorkshire brings together fresh ingredients, bold flavours, beautiful presentation and generous hospitality. From colourful mezze platters to slow-cooked lamb mandi, every dish adds something memorable to the table.
At Babtooma Catering, we bring authentic Syrian and Middle Eastern flavours to weddings, private events and corporate occasions across Yorkshire. Our catering service offers 100% halal food, flexible menus and professional event support.
What Makes Middle Eastern Catering Special?
Middle Eastern food is made for sharing. A table filled with hummus, salads, breads, grilled chicken, shawarma, rice and desserts gives guests plenty of choice. It also creates a warm and social dining experience.
For many events, a Middle Eastern buffet works especially well because guests can choose different dishes and enjoy the meal at their own pace.
Babtooma Catering offers bespoke catering for weddings, private events and corporate occasions, with menus that can be customised around your event and guest requirements.
Start with Authentic Mezze
A good Middle Eastern catering experience often starts with mezze.
Mezze can include a selection of small dishes, dips, salads, breads and hot starters. It gives guests different tastes and textures from the beginning of the meal.
Babtooma’s current catering content highlights traditional Syrian starters such as hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammara, yalanji, falafel, fatayer and kibbeh.
Move on to Grills and Shawarma
After the mezze comes the main event. Middle Eastern grills are full of flavour and work well for both small gatherings and large celebrations.
Depending on your menu, guests can enjoy dishes such as: Chicken shawarma, Shish taouk, Chicken kebab, Lamb kofta, Mixed grills, Charcoal-grilled chicken, Grilled vegetables, Shawarma dishes
Babtooma Catering also offers grill-focused packages featuring charcoal-grilled lamb kebab, chicken shish taouk and grilled vegetables, served with Arabic rice, bread, hummus and fresh salad.
Mandi: A Favourite for Special Events
If you want a centrepiece that gets attention, mandi is a great choice. Mandi combines fragrant rice with tender meat and traditional spices. It is filling, comforting and perfect for sharing.
Lamb mandi and chicken mandi can be an excellent choice for weddings, Walima celebrations, family events and large gatherings.
Babtooma’s catering website features lamb mandi among its event food options, and customer feedback on its website specifically mentions a wedding buffet with mezze, lamb mandi and Grande Kunafa.
Don’t Forget the Desserts
A Middle Eastern feast needs a sweet finish. Traditional Arabic desserts can add colour and a final touch of luxury to your catering table.
Popular choices include: Kunafa, Baklava, Arabic sweets, Fresh dessert platters
