Corporate Halal Catering in Pickering — Reliable & Authentic

Halal corporate and office catering delivered to Pickering, roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount).

Trays or combos: where the 20-person line falls

The first decision for any Pickering office is simply how many people are eating. That number decides which way you order from us.

• Under 20 people: catering trays. A small tray feeds 5 to 8, a medium tray 10 to 15, and a large tray 20 to 30. A group of 12 might take one medium tray of biryani and a small tray of curry. Individual boxed lunches are another route for small groups. Tray and box prices are quoted, so call and ask for a quote.
• 20 people or more: a per-person combo. quotes each event based on menu and headcount with a 20-person minimum, and it includes the rice, the meat, the sides and in many cases a dessert, so there is nothing to piece together.

Teams that sit right around 18 or 19 often find it simpler to round up to 20 and take a combo, then send the extra plates home with people.

Fridays and Jumu'ah

Friday is a popular day for a team lunch, and it is also the day of Jumu'ah, the congregational prayer that Muslim men in particular attend around midday. If your office books lunch at noon on a Friday, some colleagues will be at the mosque and miss the food entirely. The prayer time shifts through the year with the clocks, so check with the people involved.

Two simple fixes work in most offices:

1. Move the Friday meal to the early afternoon, once people are back from prayer.
2. Hold the team lunch on Thursday instead.

Tell us the serving time and we will schedule the drop-off from Passmore Avenue to match it. Pickering is about 20 km from our kitchen, a 20 to 25 minute drive east along the 401 into Durham Region, so an early-afternoon slot is easy to hit.

A 35-person menu built on the Beef Biryani Combo

For a mid-sized Pickering team that wants a proper spread, the Beef Biryani Combo at roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount) is a strong choice. final pricing depends on your menu and headcount before tax and delivery. On the table:

• Beef biryani as the main
• Whole chicken, deep-fried, for anyone who prefers chicken
• Green-pea cashew curry, which contains cashews
• Eggplant mojo and pineapple curry, one sweet-sour, one sweet
• Maasi sambal, made with dried Maldives fish
• Acharu, a tangy pickle
• Custard dessert

What to have ready when you call

A booking call goes faster with these in hand:

1. Company name and the full street address, with suite or unit number.
2. Date and the exact time you want to start eating.
3. Final headcount, plus how many are vegetarian.
4. Any allergies: eggs, nuts, fish, dairy.
5. A contact name and mobile number for the day.
6. Who is paying and whether the company needs a receipt in its name.

Then call or text (647) 449-2924.

Keeping the Durham commute in mind

Many Pickering offices sit close to the 401, and the eastbound lanes get busy well before the evening rush. For a lunch order that rarely matters, but for an after-work team dinner it does. If the event starts at 5 pm, book a drop-off time a little earlier than you think you need, and have someone ready to receive it. A late afternoon delivery that waits 15 minutes in a lobby is better than one that arrives as people sit down.
