An office lunch has one job: keep a room full of people happy and focused without anyone feeling left out. Sandwich platters and pizza work, but they get old, and they rarely cover every diet. A Mediterranean and Indian buffet solves both problems. Here is how to plan one for your Mountlake Terrace team, from the menu to the setup.

Choose Dishes That Hold Up During a Long Meeting

Meetings run long. Some foods are still great an hour after the trays open, and some are not. Spreads like hummus and baba ghanouj, salads, dolmas, and pita taste just as good at room temperature, so they are perfect for the first half of the table. Hot dishes like curries, kebabs, and rice are best served in covered chafing pans or eaten soon after the food arrives. A good office spread mixes both, so the early arrivals and the people who come out of a late call both get a great plate.

Cover Every Diet on One Table

A typical team includes people who eat Halal, vegetarians, people who avoid gluten, and people who just want a hearty lunch. At Caravan Kebab, all of our meat is Halal certified. Every soup, salad, spread, and appetizer on our menu is vegetarian, and our curries and kebabs are gluten-free. That means you do not need to order a separate “special” meal for anyone. Everyone eats from the same buffet.

  • Beef curry
  • Chicken kebab

Need a different mix for your group? Other dishes are priced separately, so you can swap in vegetarian curries, more spreads, or extra pita.
