Planning a party and worried about feeding a big crowd without the stress? Our halal catering packages take that pressure off your plate. At The Kabab Shoppe, we bundle crowd favourites like samosas, tandoori chicken, beef kababs, butter chicken, rice and warm naan into simple per-person packages, so you can pick a plan, tell us your guest count, and get back to enjoying your own event. Whether you are hosting a birthday in Pickering, a baby shower in Whitby, or a corporate lunch in Oshawa, our catering is built to be easy, affordable, and genuinely delicious.

Food is often the part of an event people remember most. A warm, fragrant spread of grilled meats and fresh sides sets the mood and gives guests something to gather around. But putting that spread together for 25, 50, or 100 people is a lot of work when you try to do it alone. That is exactly the gap our catering packages fill. You get a balanced, halal-certified menu that covers appetizers, mains, sides and dessert, without the guesswork of ordering dish by dish.

What Is Included in Our Halal Catering Packages

We keep our catering simple with three per-person packages. Each one steps up the menu a little, so you can match the food to the size and style of your event. Every package is fully halal, freshly prepared, and served with the sides that make a meal feel complete. You choose the package, we handle the cooking, plating and portions for your headcount.

Here is a quick side-by-side look at what each package includes and the per-person price.

Package 1 is our everyday value option and works well for casual get-togethers where you want a hearty, satisfying meal without a long menu. Package 2 is the one most hosts land on, which is why we mark it as the most popular. It adds butter chicken, a salad and a choice between firnee and gulab jamun, so it feels a little more like a full spread. Package 3 is our premium plan, built for guests who want more variety, including tandoori chicken fries and rich Kabuli palau served with meat.

Which Catering Package Is Right for Your Event?

The best package depends on three things: your budget per guest, how formal the event is, and how much variety you want on the table. A relaxed backyard birthday has different needs than a bridal shower or an office celebration. Below is a simple way to think about it so you can decide quickly.

Choose Package 1 if you want value and simplicity

This plan keeps things easy and budget-friendly at $13.99 per person. It still covers appetizer, two proteins, a vegetarian dish, rice, naan and dessert, so nobody leaves hungry. It is a strong pick for family dinners, small community meetups, and casual weekend gatherings. If you are feeding a large group and want to keep the cost predictable, start here.

Choose Package 2 for the balanced crowd-pleaser

Most of our hosts choose Package 2 because it hits the sweet spot between price and variety at $16.49 per person. The addition of butter chicken and a fresh salad rounds out the meal, and the dessert choice gives guests a little something to look forward to. It suits birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers and anniversaries where you want the table to feel generous. If you are unsure which to pick, this is the safe, satisfying middle option.

Choose Package 3 when you want to impress

Package 3 is our premium spread at $22.49 per person, and it shows. With tandoori chicken fries, Kabuli palau cooked with meat, butter chicken and the full lineup of kababs, this menu feels like a feast. It is ideal for weddings, milestone anniversaries, corporate events and any occasion where the food is meant to be a highlight. When you want guests talking about the meal afterwards, this is the package to book.

A Closer Look at the Dishes on the Menu

Every dish in our catering packages earns its spot. Here is what your guests can expect from the main items, so you know exactly what you are serving. If you want the complete list of items, you can also browse our full menu for ideas before you book.

Grilled kababs and tandoori chicken

Our beef shish kabab and beef chaplee kabab are the stars for meat lovers, with bold, smoky, well-spiced flavour that holds up beautifully in a catering tray. Tandoori chicken brings that classic charred, marinated taste, while plain chicken breast is there for guests who prefer something milder. Between them, you cover a wide range of tastes at the table. These grilled proteins travel and reheat well, which keeps them satisfying from the first plate to the last.

Butter chicken and Kabuli palau

Butter chicken is one of the most requested dishes for events, and for good reason. Its creamy, mildly spiced tomato sauce is a favourite with both kids and adults, and it pairs perfectly with rice and naan. In Package 3, we also include Kabuli palau with meat, a fragrant rice dish layered with tender meat, carrots and raisins that feels celebratory on its own. Together, these two dishes give a menu real depth.

Sides, appetizers and dessert

Crispy samosas open the meal on a familiar, crowd-pleasing note, and they disappear fast at any gathering. Chana masala adds a hearty vegetarian option so plant-based guests are looked after, while fresh salad and soft naan round out the plate. To finish, gulab jamun offers warm, syrup-soaked sweetness, and firnee brings a lighter, milky dessert option in the higher packages. That mix of textures and flavours keeps every course interesting.

How Much Food You Need and the Minimum Order

One of the hardest parts of planning any event is guessing how much food to order. Our per-person packages take that math off your hands. You simply confirm your final guest count, and we prepare the right portions for that number, sides and dessert included. There is no need to buy separate trays and hope the amounts line up.

Our catering starts at a minimum order of 25 guests. That minimum helps us prepare everything fresh and keep quality consistent across a large batch. For most parties, showers and office events, 25 is an easy number to reach. If your gathering is smaller than that, you still have great options through our regular ordering, which we cover below.

If you are hosting fewer than 25 people or want to design a smaller spread yourself, our build your own combo option lets you mix and match dishes for intimate gatherings. It is a flexible way to enjoy the same halal flavours without the full catering minimum. You can also mix a catering package with a few extra à la carte trays for larger, mixed events.

Tips for Stress-Free Event Catering

A little planning goes a long way toward a smooth event. These simple, practical tips come from years of catering local gatherings, and they can save you a lot of last-minute worry. None of them are complicated, but together they make hosting far easier.

Confirm your headcount early

Your guest count drives everything, from the package you choose to the final price. Try to lock in a reliable number a few days before your event, then add a small buffer for surprise guests. This helps us prepare the right portions and keeps your cost accurate. A firm headcount is the single most useful thing you can bring to the planning conversation.

Balance the menu for every guest

A good spread has something for everyone, including vegetarians and lighter eaters. Our packages already include chana masala, rice, salad and naan alongside the meats, so the balance is built in. Still, it helps to know your crowd, especially if you expect a lot of kids or guests who prefer milder flavours. Butter chicken and plain chicken breast are usually safe crowd-pleasers.

Book ahead for weekends and holidays

Popular dates fill up quickly, especially on weekends and around holidays and community events. Reaching out early gives you the best chance to secure your date and menu. It also leaves time to sort out details like timing, pickup or delivery, and any special requests. The earlier you plan, the more relaxed the whole process feels.

How to Book Your Catering

Booking your event catering is quick and friendly. The easiest way to get started is to reach out with your event date, guest count and the package you are leaning toward. From there, we will confirm the details and make sure everything is ready for your gathering. You do not need to have every detail figured out before you call, and we are happy to help you choose.
