How it works
Tell us about your event
On the catering enquiry, add your contact details, the occasion, the date and time, and roughly how many guests. Add your organisation name and ABN if you need a business invoice.
Pickup or delivery, and your budget
Choose pickup (from Leichhardt or Five Dock) or delivery by our team (the fee depends on your suburb), and give us your catering budget. The minimum spend is $1,000.
Choose your dishes
Add the dishes you'd like from our catering menu: dips, salads, sides, finger food, grills, shawarma and kabseh trays, sweets and drinks. Filter for vegetarian or vegan, and note any allergies or dietary needs, plus extras like set-up, serving staff, plates and cutlery, or bain-marie hire.
Send your enquiry
You'll see a summary of everything you sent. There's no need to work out quantities: we'll do that with you.
We build your package
One of our team will be in touch shortly to talk through your menu and suggest the best portions for your guests and budget.
Confirm, then enjoy
Once you're happy with the menu and quote, we lock in your date and time. Payment is due in full 3 days before your event. On the day, collect your order or we'll deliver it to your event.

Functions, parties at home and a lunch on a building site: a few of the tables we've filled lately.




Catering questions
How much notice do you need?
At least 24 hours. Need food sooner? Call us at Leichhardt on (02) 8084 2692 and we'll see what we can do. For weddings and large events, get in touch as early as you can so we have time to plan the menu with you.
Is there a minimum order?
Custom catering has a minimum spend of $1,000. For a smaller order, see catering for small groups.
How is custom catering priced?
Each dish comes in set sizes (small or large trays, or by the piece), and the enquiry form shows the prices and an estimated total as you add them. Tell us your budget and guest numbers too, and we'll check the portions so nobody goes hungry and you don't pay for food you don't need. Delivery ($30 to $70 depending on your suburb) is added to the estimate when you choose it, and extras like staff or bain-marie hire are added in your quote.
What can I order?
Mezze and Lebanese bread, dips like hommous, baba ghannouj and toum, tabouleh and fattoush, hot sides, finger food such as falafel, kebbeh and sambusik, grills and skewers, trays of shawarma and kabseh lamb, baklava and soft drinks. The full list is on the catering enquiry, where you can pick your dishes.
Do you deliver?
Yes. For catering ordered through our enquiry ($1,000 or more), our own team delivers. Choose Delivery and enter the address: the delivery fee is $30 to $70 depending on your suburb, and the form adds it to your estimate. Further away, we'll quote it. Orders from our Foodhub catering menu are delivered by Foodhub.
Where do I pick up my order?
From either restaurant. Choose Pickup on the catering enquiry, then the restaurant: Leichhardt (Shop 20, The Italian Forum, 23 Norton Street, 2 hours free underground parking) or Five Dock (95 Great North Road, 2 hours free parking behind the store).
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Our catering menu has 23 vegetarian dishes, 18 of them vegan, and you can show only those on the enquiry form. Tell us about any dietary requirements or allergies in the extra information box. While we take care in preparing our dishes, traces of allergens may be present.
Is your meat halal?
Yes, our meat is halal.
Do you supply bain-maries or chafing dishes?
They aren't included, but you can hire them from us for catering ordered through our enquiry (not Foodhub). Mention it in the extra information and we'll add it to your quote.
Can you set up, serve or provide staff at our event?
Yes. We can set up your catering and provide serving staff for an extra charge. Ask in your enquiry and we'll include it in your quote.
Do you supply plates, cutlery and napkins?
Yes, for an extra charge. Let us know how many guests they're for and we'll add them to your quote.
When do I pay?
Custom catering is paid in full 3 days before your event. If you need a business invoice, add your organisation name and ABN on the enquiry form.
Can I change guest numbers or cancel?
Yes, up to 3 days before your event. Call us on (02) 8084 2692 or email catering@jasmin1lebanesecuisine.com.au.
Do you cater on public holidays?
Yes, with at least the usual notice. A 15% surcharge applies to catering on public holidays.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
You'll see a summary of your enquiry straight away, and one of our team will be in touch shortly to talk through your menu and quote.
How should I store the food and any leftovers?
Keep cold dishes like dips and salads in the fridge until you serve them. Don't leave food out for more than two hours: after that, put leftovers in the fridge and eat them within a day or two.
