Halal Corporate Catering in Pickering — 2026

Halal Corporate Catering for Pickering events. Halal Sri Lankan menus, pricing, lead times, and delivery from our Scarborough kitchen.

Planning a year of team meals in Pickering

Small and mid-sized Pickering employers often order catering four or five times a year rather than once. When the same 25 people eat together every few months, variety matters as much as price. Below is a seasonal calendar built around our menu and the short distance involved: Pickering sits about 20 km east of our kitchen in Durham Region, roughly 20 to 25 minutes along the 401.

Winter: the year-end lunch

The December meal is usually the biggest of the year. For 25 people, the Samba Ghee Rice Combo at roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount) is confirmed in your event quote. It covers samba ghee rice, roast beef devil, whole chicken korma, eggplant milk curry, maasi sambal, acharu, pineapple curry and ktull wattalapam, which makes it a proper celebration plate.

Snow changes the logistics more than the menu. Clear a path to the door, tell us if your plaza lot tends to be plowed late, and keep the receiving contact's phone on. On a bad road day, an earlier drop-off time is safer than a tight one.

Spring: lunch during Ramadan

If part of the team is fasting, a midday lunch quietly leaves them out. Two alternatives work better. Move the gathering to the end of the workday so it becomes an iftar, or order lunch for those who are eating and set aside sealed portions that fasting colleagues can take home for the evening. Opening the fast with dates and water is customary, with a rice dish and curry to follow. Keep take-home portions in the fridge until people leave.

Summer: an outdoor team afternoon

For a patio or park lunch, keep hot dishes covered and get the food under shade. Ghee Rice Combo 5 at roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount) is the easy budget pick: ghee rice with any meat and any two vegetable dishes. For 25 people that is $375. On a hot day, cooked food shouldn't sit out longer than two hours, and less in direct sun.

Autumn: the planning or training day

A full-day session needs a lunch that doesn't put the room to sleep by 2 p.m. Chicken Biryani Combo 1 at quoted for your event keeps it simple: chicken biryani, eggplant mojo, egg masala and acharu. 25 people x $20 = $500. Serve it at the natural break and keep the afternoon coffee going.

Close enough to collect, on weekends

Pickup from our kitchen is on Saturday and Sunday, so this suits a weekend staff family day rather than a weekday lunch. If someone from your team collects:

Bring a vehicle with a flat, clean cargo area; trays travel best level.
Lay a towel or an empty box on the floor to stop things sliding.
Drive straight back, with no errands on the way.
Call ahead with your arrival time so the order is packed and waiting.

The allergy list for a small team

With 25 people you can simply ask everyone. Using our menu descriptions as the source: egg masala and vattalappam include eggs, the green-pea cashew curry has cashews, yogurt sambal is dairy-based, and maasi sambal is made with dried Maldives fish. If someone needs to avoid several of those, the combo choice matters, so mention it when you order.

Running the calendar without burning out one person

quotes each event based on menu and headcount with a 20-person minimum, which a team of 25 clears. If one quarter's lunch drops below 20 because of holidays, trays are the better route: a medium tray feeds 10 to 15 and is quoted on request. Our catering is drop-off only, so set a rotating volunteer to lay out and clear each meal. That way the same person isn't stuck with it all year.

Asking the team what worked

The advantage of ordering four times a year is that each meal teaches you something about the next. After every lunch, send a two-question poll: which dish disappeared first, and which came back mostly untouched? With 25 people, a pattern shows quickly. If the eggplant mojo always runs out, choose a combo that includes it next time. If the maasi sambal sits there, the team prefers milder food and the potato milk curry may be the better side. A short note in a shared file, listing the date, the combo, the headcount and what was left over, means whoever orders next year doesn't start from zero.

Small-team questions from Pickering

Do you have lamb biryani?

We make it, but it is not listed on the online menu. Call or text to order.

Can the vegetarians on the team have their own combo?

The Vegetable Biryani Combo is roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount) and includes vegetable biryani, eggplant mojo, pineapple curry, acharu and yogurt sambal. Below 20 vegetarian guests, ask us about mixing combos.
