Chai catering for events in Monterey Park
Ask anyone planning an event in Monterey Park and the drinks table is usually the last thing decided and the first thing guests remember. In a Los Angeles County city of about 58,000, that is a lot of forgettable drinks tables.
Corona to Monterey Park is roughly 31 miles, which is a comfortable drive for us and keeps setup timings flexible.
Everything arrives with us — canopy, counter, panels and equipment — so a venue without a prep kitchen is not a problem, indoors or out. We regularly quote for Alhambra and Montebello on the same trips, so if your venue sits between them the logistics usually work out well.
Why chai catering works at a Monterey Park event
Most drinks vendors in Los Angeles County offer some version of the same menu. Ours is the one guests have not been handed before — karak simmered with green cardamom, gahwa poured from a brass dallah, Turkish coffee made to order in a cezve.
That difference does two things at once. Guests who grew up in the Gulf or South Asia recognise it immediately and usually come back for a second cup. Everyone else stops to watch the pour, which is exactly what you want happening near your drinks table.

What we pour in Monterey Park

Sage Tea
ميرميةMaramiya — fresh sage steeped with black tea. Herbal, warming, naturally caffeine-light.
Ginger Lemon Tea
Fresh ginger and lemon, steeped hot. The caffeine-free option that isn't an afterthought.
Iced Tea

How it works
A booth, a counter, and a queue that keeps forming
We bring a branded canopy, a served counter, and pots of tea and coffee brewed the way they are brewed in the Gulf. Because everything is brewed in volume before the doors open, we hand out a hot cup every few seconds rather than every few minutes.
That matters most at the moments events actually get busy: the end of a ceremony, a conference break, the hour after sunset at a Ramadan bazaar. The booth is designed to absorb a crowd, and the setup is designed to be photographed while it does.
- Branded canopy, calligraphy panels and feather flags included
- Served counter — guests are handed a cup, not left to self-serve
- Hot and cold menu so the booth works in July as well as December
- Indoor or outdoor, with our own setup and breakdown
What guests say
Reviews from Google
“Honestly one of the best Karak experiences in California. Mohammad really knows what he's doing. Every cup hits different, rich, smooth, and full of authentic Eastern flavor. You can literally taste the spices, the warmth, the culture in every sip. It's not just tea, it feels like a small trip to the Middle East right here in Cali. If you're into real Karak, this place is a must.”
“I had the pleasure of having The Dubai Karak at my birthday celebration, and they truly exceeded every expectation. They were so kind, generous, and welcoming, creating such a beautiful atmosphere from the moment they arrived. The karak was absolutely amazing, rich and authentic, and they offered so much more than just drinks. Every detail, from their presentation to their outfits, was executed perfectly from A to Z. They brought such a luxurious, elevated vibe that made everyone fall in love with the experience and truly made my party unforgettable!”
“I drink Karak very frequently and I've tried it here and it was the best Karak I've tried so far. I recommend everyone trying it out!”
