That’s why we created this quick Mediterranean Catering Calculator — so you can estimate how many trays to order while keeping everyone satisfied (and avoiding waste).

Group Size	Proteins (Kabobs/Meats)	Mezze & Sides	Salads	Pita Bread	Dessert Add-ons
20 guests	2 half trays or 1 mix grill full tray (2 meats)	3 half trays	1 Full tray	1 full tray	Baklava bites (20 pcs)
30 guests	3 half trays	4 half trays	3 half trays	1 full tray	Baklava tray (30 pcs)
50 guests	4–5 half trays	5–6 half trays	2 full trays	2 full tray	Dessert platter (50 pcs)

💡 Pro Tip: Our catering trays serve roughly 10–12 people each. You can mix & match proteins and sides for a complete Mediterranean experience.

🥙 Build Your Menu Like a Pro

When you want everyone to leave full and happy, use this formula:

1. Start with the Main Protein

Choose two crowd-pleasers like:

Grilled Chicken Kabob
Mediterranean Spiced Lamb
Roasted Veggie Skewers (vegan)

Hummus or Baba Gannoush
Roasted Veggies
Tzatziki with Olive Oil
Falafel bites

3. Include a Fresh Salad

Greek Salad with Feta
Fattoush Salad
Mediterranean Chopped Salad

4. Don’t Forget the Pita! We hand-stretch our pita fresh daily. One piece per person — but you’ll want extras.

Mediterranean cuisine naturally fits into today’s health-conscious lifestyles. Every dish is made with:

Cold-pressed olive oil instead of butter
Lean proteins and plant-based options
No deep frying
Wholesome grains and greens
