Arabic Catering in Dubai
Abundant mezze, open charcoal grills, carved ouzi, and Emirati and Levantine classics — the warmth of an authentic Arabic feast brought to weddings, majlis, and events across Dubai.
The Generous Heart of Arabic Hospitality
Arabic cuisine is built on generosity — a table that overflows, dishes meant to be shared, and the unhurried ritual of breaking bread together. It begins with mezze: hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh, vine leaves, and warm flatbread arriving in abundance. It builds through smoky charcoal grills and slow-cooked classics, and it closes with kunafa, baklava, and cardamom-scented Arabic coffee. At myCHEF Dubai, your chef prepares this cuisine the way it is meant to be served — warm, plentiful, and rooted in tradition.
Spanning Emirati specialities like machboos and harees, Levantine grills and fatteh, and showpiece dishes such as a carved whole-lamb ouzi, our menus are shaped by Chef Layla, Middle Eastern chef, and suit weddings, majlis evenings, iftar gatherings, and corporate functions alike. Halal sourcing is the baseline, vegetarian and vegan mezze are plentiful, and the chefs in our network handle the styling, service, and pack-down — see how it fits within our wider luxury catering in Dubai.
