The Six: Paprika Dubai founder dishes on best Ramadan catering tips

Vidisha Bathwal, founder of catering service Paprika Dubai, shares key insights into the evolving catering trends this year.
 

  • Grazing tables

    Grazing tables have emerged as a highlight for Ramadan gatherings, bringing a modern twist to traditional Iftar spreads. The beauty of grazing tables lies in their visual appeal, creating an atmosphere of communal dining while offering variety in flavours.

  • Health-conscious menus

    As health-consciousness grows, people are seeking nourishing yet indulgent options. Catering services, including Paprika, are responding with high-protein, low-sugar dishes like quinoa tabbouleh, grilled meats, and dairy-free desserts.

  • Fusion flavours

    Popular dishes now include matcha-infused qatayef and truffle-infused hummus, offering something exciting for an adventurous audience.

  • Sustainability

    With consumers demanding eco-friendly solutions, caterers are embracing compostable packaging and zero-waste menus.

  • Private catering 

    For those seeking a more exclusive experience, private chef services and luxury Ramadan catering are gaining popularity. Paprika offers saffron-infused lamb and caviar-laden mezze.

  • Customisable experiences

    In 2025, personalised catering is a key trend, with consumers opting for tailored Iftar menus to suit their specific preferences and dietary needs.
