FAQ
1. What type of meals are safe and suitable for preschool children?
Our menu offers several mild, soft, and easy-to-eat options perfect for young children:
Meatballs (Köfte): Soft, grilled ground beef patties that are easy for toddlers to chew.
Chicken Shish: We can prepare this mild (non-spicy), providing a lean protein source.
Pide (Turkish Pizza): Sliced into strips, Cheese Pide or Ground Beef Pideare excellent finger foods that kids love.
Rice & Yogurt: Soft white rice and plain yogurt are healthy, safe sides for this age group.
2. Are your meals allergen-friendly and nutritious for young kids?
Nutritious: Yes. Our meals are prepared fresh with olive oil, lean grilled meats, and vegetables, avoiding the heavy processing found in fast food.
Allergies: Our food is 100% Halal (no pork). We offer Vegetarianoptions.
Important Note on Nuts: Please be aware that our facility produces Baklava and desserts containing pistachios and walnuts. While our savory dishes typically do not contain nuts, we cannot guarantee a 100% nut-free facilitydue to the bakery section. This is important for "Nut-Free" daycare policies.
3. Does Mama Fatma craft the menu with kids in mind?
While we do not have a separate marketing section labeled "Kids Menu," our professional chefs are happy to modify our traditional dishes for children. We can omit spicy seasonings from the meats and focus on "kid-favorite" formats like the Pide (Pizza) and Meatballs.
4. Do you provide utensils, napkins, and serving trays for daycares?
Yes. For catering orders, we can provide disposable cutlery, napkins, and serving utensils upon request to make the lunch service easy for your staff. The food typically arrives in aluminum catering trays ready to serve.
5. Are there themed options for birthdays or seasonal celebrations?
We focus on the food experience rather than character themes. However, we can create a "Pizza Party" theme using our variety of Pide, or a sweet celebration with individual cups of Sütlaç (Rice Pudding), which is a gentle, creamy dessert suitable for children.
6. Do you accommodate dietary restrictions like gluten-free or vegetarian?
Yes.
Vegetarian: We offer Vegetarian Pide, Spinach & Cheese Pide, and Hummus.
Gluten-Free: Grilled Chicken or Meatballs served with Rice (no bread/pide) is a safe gluten-free meal.
7. Can you deliver during daycare hours with minimal disruption?
Yes. We offer reliable delivery windows. We can arrange to drop off the hot food specifically before lunch hour (e.g., 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM) so that it is ready to serve immediately, minimizing disruption to nap times or activities.
8. Do you provide menu consultation for daycare directors or staff?
Yes. We encourage a consultation to discuss budget and nutrition. We can help you design a rotating menu (e.g., "Meatball Mondays," "Pide Fridays") that fits your per-child budget and nutritional guidelines.
9. Is there a minimum order size for daycare catering?
We cater to "Small & Large Parties." Whether you are a small home daycare needing lunch for 6 children or a large center feeding 50+, we can accommodate your order size.
