A hand-checked shortlist of reputable Arabic, Emirati & Indian-Arab wedding caterers who do live cooking / fresh-food stations — ouzi & whole lamb, mixed grills, kebabs, biryani, mezze and Arabic sweets — for a 120-guest reception on Sun 15 Nov 2026, 6:30 PM–10:00 PM. 10 in Al Ain (nearest the farm) and 10 in Dubai who travel out, plus Indian-Arab kebab & biryani options.
Every WhatsApp button below opens a chat pre-loaded with this exact brief, so each caterer quotes the same thing and you can compare per-head prices fairly.
💚 Green WhatsApp buttons open a chat with the brief already typed. Landline-only caterers show a Call button instead. Every contact was checked live — where a caterer had no verifiable mobile, only its website/email is linked. Prices vary; always request a tasting before booking.
Closest to an Al Hayer / Al Ain farmhouse — lowest travel & setup cost, and the strongest on authentic Emirati wedding food (ouzi, majlis stations).
Dubai's most reputable Arabic / Emirati caterers for live cooking stations and larger weddings. Confirm a travel/setup charge to Al Hayer, Al Ain (≈100 km / 1 hr) when you ask for a quote.
A deeper bench — Lebanese houses, mandi / ouzi specialists and full-service event caterers across Dubai & Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi names (Al Areesh, Al Madhbi) are a shorter drive to Al Hayer than the Dubai ones. Same Arabic + live-cooking brief on every WhatsApp button.
A separate menu track: Indian + Arabic food with live kebabs / grill and biryani. WhatsApp buttons here open a chat with the Indian-Arab brief (kebabs, biryani, curries, breads & sweets). Matin and Jafar are listed — send me their numbers and I'll message them too.
1. Price per head for 120 guests (Arabic menu + live stations) — is it all-in?
2. Live stations included — ouzi/whole-lamb, grill, shawarma, mezze, sweets — how many chefs on site?
3. Farm/outdoor setup — do they bring buffet tables, chafing dishes, power/gas, water, lighting for the stations?
4. Staff — waiters & station chefs for 6:30–10:00 PM, and the ratio to guests.
5. Travel & setup charge to an Al Ain / Al Hayer farm (Dubai caterers especially).
6. Tasting — is a menu tasting free or credited to the booking?
7. Deposit, balance & cancellation terms in writing.
8. Crockery, cutlery, clearing & clean-up — included or extra?
