Built for a moving crowd
Festival trading is a volume problem. People walk past, decide in two seconds, and will not stand in a line that is not moving. A brewed-in-the-pot menu is the right answer to that — we can hand over a hot cup every few seconds and keep the front of the booth clearing.
The canopy does the other half of the job. Black-and-blush Arabic calligraphy panels and feather flags read from across a lot, which at a busy market is the whole game.
Ramadan and Eid
Iftar bazaars are the clearest case. The rush arrives all at once at sunset, everybody wants something hot, and karak with a piece of kunafa is close to the ideal thing to be selling in that hour. These dates book out early.
Hot and cold, day and night
Daytime markets get iced tea and the dirty soda bar; evenings get karak, gahwa and Turkish coffee. The same booth works either way, which is what makes a full-day festival viable.
The menu
Everything that travels with the booth
Tea
Dubai Karak Chai
كركThe signature. Strong black tea, cardamom, evaporated milk, brewed and poured to order.
Sulaimani Tea
سليمانيBlack tea with no milk, brightened with lemon and a little spice. The Gulf digestif.
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
Chilled and lightly sweetened — the outdoor-event workhorse.
Coffee
Turkish Coffee
قهوة تركيةFinely ground coffee simmered in a cezve and poured unfiltered, grounds and all.
Saudi Coffee
قهوة سعوديةPale, cardamom-forward and lightly roasted, served in small handleless finjan cups.
Arabic Coffee
قهوة عربيةGahwa poured from a traditional dallah — the Gulf's welcome drink.
French Coffee
Sweet, milky and mild — the Middle Eastern café version, not a French press.
Spanish Latte
Coffee with sweetened condensed milk — rich, sweet and currently everywhere.
Cold
Dirty Soda
Soda built with cream, syrups and fruit — the trend, done as a full serve-to-order bar.
Snack
Chips & Cheese Paratha
Flaky paratha wrapped around melted cheese and Chips Oman, with hot sauce.
Sweet
Kunafa
كنافةShredded pastry over soft cheese, baked and soaked in syrup. Served warm.

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!”
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you trade at public festivals and markets?
Yes — festivals, night markets, cultural events and Ramadan bazaars across Orange County and Los Angeles.
Do you book Ramadan and Eid events?
Yes, and those dates fill earliest in our calendar. Enquire well ahead.
Are you self-contained?
Yes. Canopy, calligraphy panels, feather flags, counter and equipment all come with us.
Can you handle a large festival crowd?
That is what the format is designed for. Brewing in volume rather than making drinks individually is what keeps the queue moving at a festival.
What sells best at a market?
Karak, consistently — and the chips and cheese paratha, which stops anyone who recognises the Chips Oman bag.
