Catering, special orders & private functions.

Catering:

We began Kitchen 55 with the goal of serving high quality and freshly made traditional Persian food. In the beginning, we were not sure where this idea could take us; however, slowly the small community that formed through our daily online orders began ordering food for their gatherings and parties.

After a couple of years of operating from our home’s kitchen, we had to look for a place where we could build a commercial kitchen capable of handling the heavy workload. The home kitchen was insufficient. That’s why we opened the shop at 28 Newmans Road. Still, it was not supposed to be a restaurant, but a takeaway stop for daily-changing fresh Persian food. However, we had an empty space at the front with only one table (our green wall bench). Customers asked if they could dine-in, but we did not have plates and cutlery sets. So, we bought a few plates, and a few sets of cutlery, added a few more tables, and after a few months, we were operating as a restaurant.

Throughout the past 4 years of operating Kitchen 55, both from our family home and then from the restaurant, we have catered for several gatherings and parties of up to 250 people. So, if you’d like us to cook for you, you can get in touch with us, and we’ll help you create a great-tasting combination of starters, sides and mains for your gathering.

Special orders:

We refer to special orders as smaller, day-to-day catering requests. These are made-to-order dishes from our daily menu, prepared just for you—with the same minimum of 5 servings per dish. Simply select the items you'd like, then give us a call or send us an email with your pickup date and time. We'll have your order freshly prepared and ready for pickup at our restaurant at your specified time. If you prefer your order to be packed in your own serving dishes, just let us know in advance. You can drop off your clean dishes at our restaurant ahead of time, and we'll prepare and pack everything directly into them for you.

To make the ordering process smoother for both you and us, we've simplified the steps as much as possible. Please note that we require a minimum of 5 servings per main dish, as each dish is prepared exclusively for your order. Pricing is based on the number of servings rather than the number of guests, ensuring flexibility to suit your specific needs.

Please browse our selection and choose the dishes that appeal to you. Once you've made your initial choices, feel free to get in touch with us. We're happy to provide guidance on curating the ideal menu—ensuring the right combination of flavours and dishes that complement each other perfectly. We'll also advise on appropriate portion sizes to make sure you have just the right amount for your event—never too much, never too little.

For catering orders, if you require, we can deliver the food directly to your venue using our insulated specialty bags to ensure everything arrives hot and fresh. We can also provide chafing dishes and assist with table setup to keep the food warm throughout your event. A service fee of 10–20% applies, depending on the distance and size of the event.
