🍽️ Ramadan gatherings are the heart of the season: they’re warm, they’re lively, and they’re what make up that Ramadan spirit we all know and love. But hosting one? A huge, dreaded hassle that often means long hours in the kitchen. While it can be rewarding to host a big family iftar or suhoor, sometimes opting for catering offers us a well-deserved break — a chance to skip the planning and the stress, and simply be present to fully cherish time with loved ones.

For a cozy family gathering

Not exactly a wizard in the kitchen? Too busy to pull together a whole family feast? These caterers come in handy for a classic family dinner, delivering up-to-par food without the need to splurge:

#1- Tamr Jannah Catering: A Ramadan gathering means all the classic dishes, especially in the first week. If you’re looking for all the admittedly heavy-yet-homey classics, Tamr Jannah brings the full staple feast of Egyptian, Lebanese, and comfort Arab fusion platters. Think fattah and kibbeh, sharkaseya and stuffed pigeons, tajines, stuffed vine leaves, and dolma. You can contact them through Instagram .

THE PRICE TAG- The per-dish category on their “3zouma” menu ranges from EGP 220 to EGP 8.8k, with each dish serving 12-15 people — larger or smaller groups can be arranged for upon request.

#2- Marinate: Similarly offering all the oriental classics, Marinate caters comfortably for a 20-person gathering. On top of the familiar main dishes, they also serve up hefty plates of Ramadan desserts made for 15-20 people. You can contact them on Instagram or through the number in their bio.

THE PRICE TAG- Main dishes on their Ramadan menu (pdf) serve 10-20 people, with soups, salads, appetizers, pasta, and other specific main dishes charged per person. Prices per dish range from EGP 850 to EGP 4k.

#3- Cult: The pink coffeehouse is bringing their beloved breakfast and brunch selection to your suhoor tables, introducing a suhoor catering service for the season. When the usual ful, eggs, and falafel spreads start to look too familiar, switching it up with Cult’s signature “cultcados” and freshly baked bagels sounds like a fun suhoor night.

Cult offers three packages: The prime package delivers the full suhoor experience with a live egg station, a cold station featuring an extensive savory menu, their caffeine lineup, and a Ramadan dessert exclusive: Croissant Um Ali. The classic package includes everything except the cold station, and the signature package offers the full lineup minus the egg station.

THE PRICE TAG- The prime package is priced at EGP 850 per person. The classic and signature packages both come in at EGP 550 per person. You can contact Cult on Instagram for more details.

For an all-out feast

If you’re already indulging in a catering service, why not go all out? Some caterers can help you arrange a full-fledged Ramadan spread for a dinner lineup that feels like a true departure from the expected.

The catering service is going all in with their Ramadan offers this season — a classic iftar menu, and two new menus: a Brazilian Churrascaria experience and a suhoor menu by Ful Party. It’s certainly not every day you get to break your fast over a Latin-inspired, fire-led feast with your loved ones. You can message Meat Party on Instagram for bookings and more details.

They offer unconventional soup choices, their salad lineup includes dates with halloumi, beetroot ravioli, crispy quinoa, and more of the like, and taro gratin with chard, chicken peanut butter sauce, and oxtail stew shepherd’s pie style are among some of their original main-dish concoctions.
