Why Rice Portions Work at Events
A full rice buffet needs chafing dishes, serving staff and plates, while individual portions need only a table. Each piece is a single serving, so guests take one and keep moving, and the table stays tidy. For corporate lunch catering, the portions give an office a Persian main dish without a full meal service, at a conference break or a working lunch.
Building a Rice Menu
One balanced order is the plain tahchin, one kebab dish and one stew dish. Joojeh kabab and koobideh bring kebab to the rice, kabab torsh adds a tangy kebab, ghormeh sabzi adds the herb stew, and albalo polo brings sour cherries for a sweet and sour note. Two or three dishes can cover a small dinner, while four or five give a large wedding or engagement more variety.
How Many Portions
The kitchen recommends three to four pieces per guest in total, and about four per guest for a light lunch, and rice portions count toward that total. One way to plan: with appetizers on the table, start with one portion per guest; as the main dish, plan two per adult.
Good Fit For
- Weddings and receptions, as part of Persian wedding catering
- Engagement dinners and family celebrations
- Nowruz, Yalda and other holiday gatherings
- Graduation and birthday dinners at home
- Conference lunches and office celebrations
Delivery and the Delivery Fee
Every order is delivered, and pickup is not offered. The kitchen delivers to homes, offices and event spaces from San Ramon. A flat delivery fee is added to every order of this package and is included in the price you see before you send a request to book. Each catering listing from this kitchen carries its own delivery fee, so combining several listings in one order adds one fee per listing.
Drop-Off and Add-Ons
This is a drop-off order: the food arrives in trays, the host sets out the table, and cleanup is not included. With the setup add-on, the team brings its own serving platters and displays and arranges the food. A server by the hour is also available as an add-on. On-Site Kebab Grilling: kebabs grilled live at your event; note your guest count in the request so the kitchen can confirm what the grilling includes.
Can Beef Dishes Be Made With Chicken?
Yes. The kitchen can make any item that uses beef with chicken instead, which helps when some guests avoid red meat. Note the swap in your request, for example sabzi polo with chicken in place of beef.
Allergies, Diets and Pork
Tahchin is made with egg, yogurt and butter, and most dishes on this menu include chicken or beef. If guests avoid pork or need halal food, note it in your request so the kitchen can confirm which dishes fit and how they are prepared. Note allergies there too, and the kitchen confirms each dish.
Serving Tips
Arrange the portions in rows by dish with a small label for each, so guests can find a favorite quickly. Set out small forks for the stew dishes, and serve the tahchin soon after delivery.
