Karkade Kitchen

Cateringمطبخ كركديه

Slow smoked meat, Sudanese spice, the sauces and the sides. We cook it fresh and we serve it for sharing, the way it's meant to be eaten. Halal, always.

Full packages if everyone's sitting down. Slider platters if they're standing up, which is what schools and offices usually want.

Heads up, we use peanut and sesame. The full breakdown is further down this page.

Sesame

Garlic tahini. It goes on every slider and it's there with the packages too.

Wheat

The bread rolls the sliders come in, and both desserts.

Milk

Sudanese kunafa and basbosa.

Read this if you're catering for someone with an allergy.

It all comes out of one kitchen on shared equipment, and the tameah is fried in shared oil. We can't promise any dish is free of peanut, sesame, wheat or milk. Tell us about the allergy when you enquire and we'll be straight with you about what we can and can't do for that guest. We'd rather turn the booking down than get it wrong.
