Mediterranean Catering in LA – What to Expect from Sunnin

If you’re planning an event in Los Angeles and searching for catering that’s flavorful, fresh, and universally loved, Mediterranean food is one of the most reliable choices you can make. At Sunnin Lebanese Café, we’ve been proudly serving LA for over 30 years — from intimate gatherings to corporate meetings, weddings, graduations, fundraisers, UCLA events, and everything in between.

Mediterranean cuisine naturally lends itself to catering: it’s colorful, balanced, easy to share, and satisfies a wide range of dietary preferences. Whether your guests want something light, hearty, vegetarian, gluten-free, or protein-rich, there’s truly something for everyone.

Here’s what you can expect when you choose Sunnin for Mediterranean catering in Los Angeles.


1. Fresh, Authentic Mediterranean Dishes Made In-House Daily

At Sunnin, quality starts with preparation. Our catering dishes are made with the same care, precision, and authentic recipes we use in our Westwood restaurant.

Every order is prepared the morning of your event using:

  • Fresh herbs and vegetables
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Homemade sauces
  • Whole grains and legumes
  • Grilled and marinated proteins
  • Freshly baked pita

From our creamy hummus and vibrant tabbouleh to slow-cooked lamb and chicken shawarma, everything is made from scratch — no shortcuts, no mass production, and no pre-packaged food.

This freshness is what keeps our catering clients returning event after event.


2. A Menu That Works for Every Type of Event

Mediterranean food is naturally versatile, making it ideal for events of all sizes and styles.

Our most popular catering dishes include:

  • Chicken Shawarma – marinated and slow-roasted
  • Beef & Chicken Kabobs – grilled to perfection
  • Kafta Kabob – flavorful ground beef with parsley and spices
  • Falafel – crispy and herbaceous
  • Hummus & Baba Ghanouj – classic Lebanese spreads
  • Tabbouleh & Fattoush – fresh, lemony salads
  • Rice & Lentils (Moujadara) – hearty plant-based options
  • Stuffed Grape Leaves – traditional and hand-rolled
  • Fresh Pita & Garlic Sauce – customer favorites

Because Sunnin’s catering menu is naturally balanced, it fits everything from business luncheons to family celebrations.


3. Dietary-Friendly Options Guests Appreciate

Los Angeles is a city with diverse nutritional needs — and Mediterranean cuisine meets them naturally.

  • Healthy/Low-Calorie Choices

We make it easy for hosts to accommodate everyone without creating multiple separate menus.
