Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers About Mediterranean Catering in Houston!
To help you plan your event with total confidence, here are the answers to some common questions about Mediterranean catering in Houston.
Q1: What kinds of special diets can Mediterranean catering handle?
A1: Mediterranean food is super flexible and can easily work with lots of different dietary needs. We regularly have tons of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. The dishes often use fresh veggies, beans, whole grains, and lean meats, so it’s simple to adjust menus for allergies or what you prefer. Just let our team know during your first chat!
Q2: Can Mediterranean catering be fancy enough for a black-tie wedding or big corporate party?
A2: Oh, totally! While Mediterranean food can be wonderfully casual, it also looks amazing for elegant and formal events. Our team can create sophisticated plated meals, fancy tasting menus, or even high-end buffet setups that are just perfect for black-tie parties and corporate galas. It’ll be a unique and memorable food experience, for sure.
Q3: How soon should I book Mediterranean catering for my event in Houston?
A3: To make sure we’re available, especially for big events like weddings or huge corporate functions, we suggest booking as early as possible – like, 6-12 months ahead for weddings and 3-6 months for bigger corporate events or parties. For smaller get-togethers, about 4-6 weeks is usually fine, but honestly, reach out as soon as you have your date!
Q4: Do you let clients taste the food for weddings or big events?
A4: Yep, absolutely! We highly recommend and offer private tasting sessions for our wedding and large event catering clients. This is your chance to try out a bunch of dishes, talk about any changes, and really finalize your menu with confidence. We’ll give you all the details about tastings when we first chat.
Q5: Is Middle Eastern catering the same as Greek catering?
A5: Okay, so both Middle Eastern and Greek catering are part of the bigger Mediterranean food family, and they share some common ingredients and cooking styles (like using olive oil, lemon, herbs, and lamb). But they each have their own special cooking traditions, spices, and regional dishes. Greek food might have more feta, olives, and oregano, while Middle Eastern food might lean more on sumac, za’atar, and specific spice blends. Our menus pull from the rich variety of both traditions to give you a full Mediterranean experience.
