FAQ
1. What types of menus do you offer for community events?
We specialize in "Anatolian Feast" style buffets that encourage communal dining. Our most popular options for community events include Mix Kebab Platters (featuring Adana, Chicken Shish, and Meatballs), generous trays of Rice and Bulgur, and shareable Mezze Spreads. For more casual gatherings, we offer Pide (Turkish Pizza) and Lahmacun Stations, which provide excellent variety and are easy for guests to enjoy while socializing.
2. Are Mama Fatma’s dishes suitable for large public gatherings?
Absolutely. Our cuisine is designed for hospitality and scalability, making it perfect for crowds ranging from 50 to 500+ guests. Furthermore, as a 100% Halal Certified establishment, our menu is highly inclusive, ensuring that guests from diverse backgrounds can enjoy the meal with peace of mind.
3. Do you provide staff for setup and serving at public events?
Yes, we offer a comprehensive Full-Service Catering option. Our professional team manages the entire food service operation, including setting up elegant buffet stations with chafing dishes, assisting guests with service to ensure hygiene and portion control, and handling post-service cleanup, allowing organizers to focus on the event itself.
4. Can you cater both indoor and outdoor community festivals?
Yes, we are fully equipped for both. For indoor events at community centers or halls, we provide professional warming equipment to keep food fresh. For outdoor festivals and parks, we offer a specialized BBQ Catering Service, bringing the authentic aroma and taste of charcoal-grilled meats directly to your outdoor venue.
5. Are there special packages for nonprofit organizations?
While we do not have a fixed "nonprofit price list," we are committed to supporting our community. We offer flexible menu customization to align with the specific budget constraints of nonprofit organizations. By focusing on high-value, popular items like Chicken Shish, Köfte (Meatballs), and Pide, we can design a premium experience that fits your fundraising or operational budget.
6. Do you offer flexible pricing for school or local groups?
Yes. We understand the need for affordable yet nutritious options for schools and local youth groups. We can create cost-effective, student-friendly menus—such as Meatball & Rice bowls or Pide assortments—that provide a substantial meal at a lower cost per head compared to our premium lamb dishes.
7. Can you handle dietary accommodations like vegetarian or gluten-free?
Inclusivity is a priority for us.
Vegetarian: We offer a rich selection of meat-free options, including Vegetarian Pide, Spinach & Cheese Pide, and appetizers like Hummus and Eggplant Salad.
Gluten-Free: Our grilled meats (Kebabs, Chops) and rice dishes are excellent gluten-free choices when served without bread.
Halal: Our entire menu is 100% Halal.
8. Do you require a park or street permit for large outdoor setups?
Mama Fatma provides the catering service, equipment, and necessary liability insurance documentation. However, securing the Special Event Permit (for the use of public parks, street closures, or municipal grounds) is the responsibility of the event organizer.
9. How far in advance should we book community event catering?
To ensure seamless execution and staff availability, we recommend booking at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance for large-scale community events. This lead time allows us to plan the logistics, source fresh ingredients in bulk, and schedule our culinary and service teams effectively for your specific date.
