Why Schools Choose Taza for Catering
100% Halal, Always
Every item on our menu is halal. For schools with diverse student bodies and parent communities, Taza is a safe, inclusive catering choice that respects dietary requirements.
Off the Spit, Out of the Oven
Shawarma is carved off the vertical spit, falafel is fried to order, and manaeesh, pita and pies come out of our oven. Taza means fresh in Arabic, and the kitchen runs on that word.
Vegetarian & Allergy Aware
Falafel, hummus, and bowls provide substantial vegetarian options. Ask us about specific ingredients and allergens when you order, so school administrators can plan with confidence.
Budget-Friendly for Schools
School budgets are tight. Pitas, bowls, and hand pies are everyday-priced menu items, so a spread can be sized to your budget. Call us with your headcount and number for a quote.
Catering Delivery
School events run on a schedule. Catering delivery is available across Northern Virginia for groups of 10 to 200+, and pickup from Seminary Road is always an option.

School Event Catering in Northern Virginia
Planning food for school events in Northern Virginia is one of the most common headaches for PTA members, school administrators, and parent volunteers. The typical options -- chain pizza, grocery store deli trays, or fast food -- are uninspiring, repetitive, and often fail to accommodate the dietary needs of diverse school communities. Taza Shawarma & Falafel offers a genuine alternative.
Our school catering packages are built for the unique needs of educational events. That means flexible headcount scaling from 10 to 200+ guests, budget-conscious pricing that works within PTA allocations, and a menu that naturally includes halal, vegetarian, meat-free options without requiring separate special orders. When you order from Taza, you get one spread that works for everyone.
From Falls Church to Fairfax, Arlington to Reston, catering delivery is available to schools across Northern Virginia. Shawarma is carved off the vertical spit, falafel is fried to order, and manaeesh come out of our oven, so the spread is built from the same food we serve at the counter every day.
School Catering for Teacher Appreciation
Teacher Appreciation Week is a natural fit for Mediterranean catering. A Teacher Appreciation Spread is an easy way to show school staff how valued they are. Instead of another round of muffins and coffee, treat your teachers to chicken shawarma off the spit, crispy falafel, creamy hummus, and oven-baked pita. It is a meal worth a lunch break -- and one that accommodates the halal, vegetarian, and health-conscious diets common among school staff.
Graduation Party Catering
Graduation celebrations call for real food, not just cake and punch. A Graduation & Year-End Party spread can feed up to 200+ guests with shawarma platters, falafel, manaeesh, dips, kids menu items, and desserts. Catering delivery is available, so you can focus on celebrating the milestone with your students and their families.
After-School Programs and Clubs
Running an after-school program, tutoring center, or student club in Northern Virginia? Taza offers affordable bulk options -- pita wraps, bowls, and grab-and-go items that keep students fueled and focused. Call (703) 340-1014 to talk through a regular order for your after-school program.
