What exactly is chicken shawarma with rice?

Classic chicken shawarma with rice pairs thinly shaved, marinated chicken with fluffy basmati rice, crisp salad, pickled turnips, and warm pita. Sauces like creamy garlic, tahini, and a mild or spicy red sauce round out the plate. The result is savory, aromatic, and satisfyingly balanced—great warm, still tasty at room temperature, and straightforward to serve in a corporate setting.

At Shawarma Moose on College Street, the chicken is marinated with Mediterranean spices, slow-roasted on a vertical rotisserie, and shaved to order so every portion delivers tenderness with those coveted crispy edges. Whether you choose an individual box or a tray for 10–20, it remains consistent, flavorful, and easy to portion at speed.

Why Toronto offices love it

• Universally appealing: Warm, hearty, and not too spicy, it works for mixed dietary preferences across teams.
• Scales cleanly: Boxed meals simplify distribution; trays reduce cost per person for larger meetings.
• Halal-friendly: Ideal when you want inclusive catering without overcomplicating the order.
• Travel-tested: Rice and shawarma hold heat and texture, keeping quality from kitchen to boardroom.

When you need a dependable lunch that pleases executives, sales teams, or warehouse staff on varying shifts, this is the proven choice. If you want to see portions and options at a glance, browse our Chicken Shawarma on Rice details.

Plate anatomy: chicken, rice, sauces, and sides

Let’s break down the components and how they influence flavor, nutrition, and presentation:

Shaved chicken

Marinated with Mediterranean and Turkish-inspired spices, our chicken builds a flavorful crust on the rotisserie. The shaved slices combine a juicy interior with crisp edges. For spice lovers, we add a mild or hot red sauce on request. For dairy-free diets, garlic sauce can be served on the side.

Rice base

We use fragrant basmati with subtle saffron or turmeric notes for color and aroma. The grains stay separate, which helps boxed meals look and taste great after transport. Many guests add a drizzle of tahini for nuttiness over the rice.

Sauces

• Garlic sauce: Creamy, bright, and the classic pairing with chicken. Request extra if your team loves it.
• Tahini: Sesame-based, savory, and dairy-free. Adds richness without heaviness.
• Red sauce (mild or hot): Tomato-chili notes for heat seekers; we’ll keep it balanced for office palates.

Fresh sides

Crisp salad, pickled turnips, and warm pita round out the plate. For variety, add-on items like Greek salad, falafel, and garlic potatoes are popular with teams that want a fuller spread.

Customization and dietary notes

We build every order to match your team’s preferences. Here are common customizations:

• Heat levels: Mild or hot red sauce served on the side so guests control the spice.
• Dairy-free friendly: Tahini and red sauce are dairy-free; garlic sauce can be portioned separately.
• Gluten-conscious: The core plate is naturally gluten-free; pita can be omitted or swapped with extra salad.
• Halal: We offer halal-friendly options—ideal for inclusive corporate catering in Toronto.
• Vegetarian add-ons: Falafel, Greek salad, and hummus give non-meat eaters a satisfying plate.

FAQs: Chicken Shawarma with Rice in Toronto

How do I choose between boxed meals and trays?

If your meeting is seated in a single room and you want quick setup, trays are efficient and cost-effective. If guests are scattered across floors or you need ingredient labeling per person, choose individually packaged meals. For hybrid events, do a 70/30 split—mostly boxes, plus one tray to serve late arrivals.

What’s the best way to keep food hot for longer meetings?

Plan delivery 10–15 minutes before service, and use the provided lids between rounds. For all-hands, designate a serving table near outlets to plug in approved warming gear if available. Rice and protein hold heat well; sauces can be kept at room temperature for convenience.

Can you accommodate halal-friendly, gluten-free, or dairy-free?

Yes—our chicken shawarma with rice is a strong base for halal-friendly meals. We can package garlic sauce separately and provide tahini and red sauce for dairy-free needs. The core plate is gluten-conscious; we can omit pita or replace it with extra salad.

Is chicken shawarma with rice good for warehouse staff catering?

Absolutely. It’s hearty, balanced, and easy to portion quickly during shift changes. We’ll coordinate staggered delivery times, add extra sauces, and label containers clearly so crews can grab and go without slowing operations.

How much notice do you need for 50–100 people?

We recommend 24–48 hours to secure your ideal delivery window, with same-day solutions for smaller headcounts when possible. Share your timing, venue details, and dietary notes, and we’ll map the plan.
