- Vegan: the Vegetarian Platter, falafel trays and station, and hummus tray are all marked vegan on the catering menu. Skip the garlic sauce, which is not vegan.
- Gluten-free: the menu marks the falafel side tray, seasoned rice, hot sauce, tahineh, and specialty drinks gluten-free, and the Mamoun's home page lists hummus, baba ganouj, chicken kebob, and shawarma as gluten-free. Pita, tabbouleh, and baklava contain gluten.
- Nuts: the baklava contains walnuts.
For the full item-by-item list, see our vegan and gluten-free menu guide.
5. Planning Tips
- Order early in December. The online catering menu does not publish a minimum, lead time, or delivery fee. For a large or date-critical order, email catering@mamouns.com ahead of time to confirm.
- Check holiday hours. Store hours can change on holidays; check the store page before you plan a pickup.
- Keep food out no more than two hours. The USDA advises tracking how long food has been on a buffet and discarding perishable items left out longer than two hours, since bacteria multiply quickly between 40 and 140°F.
- Plan drinks by the gallon. Each jug holds one gallon, which is sixteen 8-ounce cups.
Specialty drinks by the gallon.
