Mediterranean Platters
for Your Celebration
Wedding celebrations come in many forms. Whether it is a rehearsal dinner for close family, an engagement party with friends, a bridal shower, or a casual reception, every couple wants restaurant-quality food that brings people together. Phoenician Garden delivers Mediterranean family-style platters to your venue, ready to set out on a buffet table or serving station. There are no servers, no setup crew, no event staff. You or your venue handles the rest, which keeps costs lower than traditional wedding catering and lets you focus on celebrating instead of managing logistics.
Family-style Mediterranean platters create a communal warm dining experience. Large trays of lamb shank, shawarma, and charbroiled kebobs arrive hot and ready to serve, with rice pilaf, sauteed vegetables, warm pita, and garlic sauce. Everyone gathers around, fills a plate, and enjoys restaurant-quality food without the catering company markup. Lamb shank, especially, makes the meal memorable. Slow-braised and seasoned with a family spice blend, it's built for a special occasion where the food is part of the celebration.
For lighter appetites or a pre-dinner spread, the Family Mezza serves 8 people and includes hummus, baba ghannouj, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, pita, and fresh vegetables. For dessert, baklava trays are a showstopper alternative to a traditional wedding cake. House-made layers of phyllo, walnuts, pistachios, and rosewater syrup arrive ready for guests to enjoy.
Diverse guest lists mean diverse dietary needs. Every protein on our catering menu is prepared sourced from trusted suppliers. Vegetarian options include house-made falafel, hummus, baba ghannouj, stuffed grape leaves, and sauteed vegetable platters. One order accommodates guests with every dietary preference at your celebration.
Call (559) 261-2747 at least a couple of days before your event to discuss your celebration, guest count, menu preferences, and delivery location. Tarek and the team will work with you to create a catering plan that fits your vision and budget. For rehearsal dinners and smaller events, we can often accommodate rush orders.
