Middle Eastern Catering Cuisine

Middle Eastern Catering Cuisine by Badawi

Shop fresh chilled halal Middle Eastern catering dishes designed for generous tables, home entertaining, sharing service, and bigger family meals without the usual cooking workload. This page brings together warming soups, salads, couscous, spiced rice, vegetables, roast lamb, mechoui-style dishes, chouwaya, pulled beef, and other larger-format favourites that help you build a fuller spread more easily at home.

As the Badawi side of our Halal Ready Meals range, Middle Eastern Catering Cuisine has a stronger banquet-style and mechoui-led identity than the earlier one-portion pages in the family. It is built for shoppers who want more than a single plated meal, with event-style formats that make it easier to serve guests, plan a feast table, or put together a generous weekend spread with less preparation on the day.

What you will find on this page

The live range mixes soups, side dishes, salads, roast centrepieces, and meat-led sharing dishes, which makes this page much broader than a standard ready-meal section.

• Event-pot soups such as Badawi Chorba (شوربة بدوية) and Badawi Harira (حريرة)
• Tray-style accompaniments such as Spiced Oriental Rice (أرز شرقي), Couscous (Steamed Semolina) (كسكس), Roast Potatoes, and Steamed Seasonal Vegetables
• Prepared sides and salads such as Shakshuka Salad (شكشوكة) and Roasted Vegetable & Semolina Salad
• Sharing roasts and meat centrepieces such as Roasted Leg of Lamb, Quarter Lamb Mechoui (لحم ضأن مشوي), Traditional Mechoui Roast Lamb (خروف مشوي), and Roasted Full Rack Lamb
• Larger-format meat dishes such as Lamb Chouwaya (لحم خروف مشوي), Beef Chouwaya (لحم البقر الشواية), Mechoui-Style Pulled Beef (لحم بقري مشوي), and Grilled Rib of Beef

How this section is sold

This page is still shopper-friendly, but the live products are clearly sold in larger event and sharing formats rather than standard single portions. Depending on the item, the live options include 1 Event Pot, 1 Event Tray, 1 Sharing Roast, 1 Sharing Tray, 1 Event Set, or 1 Half Roast / 1 Whole Roast.

That matters because it explains the real role of the page. This is the place to shop when you want soups for a starter course, rice or couscous for the table, salads and vegetables for balance, and a proper roast or mechoui-style centrepiece for serving guests. Many of the event pots, trays, and smaller sharing roasts are designed to serve around 10–13 people, while the full mechoui roast gives you a larger-format option for bigger gatherings.

The section also mixes product formats in a useful way. Most of the range is supplied fresh chilled and fully cooked, ready to heat and serve, while selected prepared sides are ready to serve with simple finishing or plating. That keeps the page practical for home entertaining without stripping away the generous, celebration-style feel of the food.

Why Badawi stands out

Badawi gives this part of the ready-meals family a clearer Middle Eastern-inspired sharing and banquet identity. Rather than feeling like a flat convenience section, it offers a stronger mechoui-led and feast-table direction through soups, salads, tray sides, roast lamb formats, and meat dishes designed for carving, portioning, plating, and group serving.

This makes Middle Eastern Catering Cuisine a strong fit for hosts, families, weekend entertainers, and shoppers planning a bigger meal at home. It helps you source a fuller table through one clearer route, whether you want a warming soup course, practical accompaniments, or a proper roast centrepiece that arrives chilled and ready for easier finishing at home.
