igs & veggies, bread, marinated olives, cracker varieties with homemade hummus & tzatziki dip, with an eye-catching bowl of roasted beets with dill at the center. The meal included lamb, chicken, potatoes, and couscous w/ grilled veggies all with added Mediterranean spice. For those who like healthy and not overpowering spice, this is your go-to caterer. This is home cooking with love at the center.
