Kids Catering for Eid Celebrations
Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha are among the biggest celebration occasions for Dubai's Muslim families, and children's catering is an important part of the festivities. For an Eid kids party, the food should be festive, celebratory and culturally resonant: luqaimat (honey dumplings) are a must-have, Arabic sweets (baklava, mamoul, basbousa), fresh dates with chocolate coating, rose water lemonade, and a decorated Eid cake with crescent and star motifs. All catering must be halal-certified.
Iftar Catering for Families with Children
Iftar catering for a family gathering with children requires a blend of traditional iftar items and child-friendly options. Dates and laban to break the fast (traditional). A light soup course for children who find heavier food difficult to eat after a day of fasting (for older children who fast). Main courses that appeal to both generations: biryani, grilled meats, fattoush salad. Child-specific items: mini samosas, spring rolls, Arabic bread with hummus. Dessert: Om Ali, basbousa, ice cream.
Creating a Festive Kids Food Setup
Eid and Ramadan kids catering presentations benefit from themed styling. Use gold and green colour schemes with crescent and star motifs. Label each dish in both English and Arabic. Offer a DIY dates station where children can roll dates in coconut, cocoa or crushed pistachios. Create a juice bar with pomegranate, tamarind and jallab (a traditional Levantine sweet drink). These details transform a standard catering order into a meaningful cultural celebration for children growing up in Dubai.
