Chai catering for events in Thousand Oaks
Thousand Oaks has roughly 124,000 residents and a steady calendar of weddings, mehndis, graduations and corporate mornings — all of which need something for guests to hold.
Thousand Oaks is about 75 miles from our Corona base. That is a real drive, so we plan these dates carefully and confirm timings with you in advance rather than squeezing them in.
The chai catering menu travels with everything it needs: the branded canopy, the calligraphy panels, the counter and the equipment. We set up, serve and break down ourselves. We regularly quote for Moorpark and Agoura Hills on the same trips, so if your venue sits between them the logistics usually work out well.
Why chai catering works at a Thousand Oaks event
Most drinks vendors in Ventura 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 Thousand Oaks

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!”
