Everything about our business is sustainable. atiyah – Melbourne catering, offers a complete sustainable solution for your corporate or private event, showcasing our awesome Lebanese and Middle Eastern food that is of course, made with love. We’re revolutionising catering through our community of amazing people with a passion for the environment and sustainability. Eat with atiyah, and save the planet.

Carbon Neutral
Certified Catering

atiyah assesses and quantifies the greenhouse emissions of your meals across all stages of their life cycle to highlight the emission savings from your event.

By choosing atiyah for your catering needs, you are replacing other more emission intensive meal and drink options, and as a result, also reducing their footprint.

Compostable Packaging

There is no Planet B. atiyah uses BioPak – the most sustainable, environmentally friendly packaging on the market. We’re focussed on reducing the tree-based paper and fossil fuel-based plastic so often used in foodservice ware by offering an eco-friendly alternative.

Organic Waste Management

atiyah will provide compost bins to divert all the organic waste and compostable packaging from both the kitchen and the event itself from landfill. This waste will be processed into nutrient-rich compost in less than 12 weeks through Compost Connect.

THE FOOD

Our authentic family recipes celebrate a generous Lebanese culture tradition where whole food ingredients rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and healthy plant based fats from olive oil, nuts and seeds are combined with spices and herbs to produce incredible flavours. We bring the authentic flavours from the streets of Lebanon to your plate.

Sourced from ethical growers and sustainable farms, our awesome food is always made fresh. You really can taste the difference, from the tangy flavour punch of sumac, to the nutty toasted sesame seeds in our za’atar and the slightly sweet and salty goat’s labneh. The quality of the ingredients we use shines through every time.

TESTIMONIALS

I engaged atiyah to provide premium catering for 350+ national artists in our VIP area over 2 days - Not only did they only have 3 weeks’ notice to pull it off - they did the most amazing job! Ben and the team customised a menu specifically for this event, the back of house operation was seamless, the staff were amazing to work with and most importantly the product served was delicious. We had so many compliments from the guests and their sustainability policy was so well received by everyone. I would 100% engage atiyah again - really looking forward to the next one!

The team at Atiyah catered our five day Customer Markets Expo at AGL Energy. Over five hundred of our attendees enjoyed a delicious, fresh spread of Lebanese food and were educated on daily changes they can make to contribute to a more sustainable, Carbon Neutral future. Atiyah is a Climate Active member, are verified plastic neutral and use foods sourced only from ethical farms and sustainable growers. Everything is renewably run (solar panels, water tanks and e-vehicles) at Atiyah and I highly recommend Ben and his team to cater at your next corporate event. It has been an absolute delight to deal with such a professional team whose food is both delicious and sustainable.

We have used atiyah for corporate catering a number of times now. The food is delicious and the service is excellent – including waste collection for recycling! Importantly to us as a business focussed on ‘helping transition the economy to a sustainable future for the earth and its people’ the product is also carbon neutral. Not only does the food taste amazing, it does not contribute to our carbon footprint!

It was great to have atiyah catering for our first staff event of the year and knowing that we had carbon neutral certified catering thereby saving 181.79 kgCO2-e emissions

From enquiring with Atiyah, it was a delight dealing with professional and warm correspondence from Ben and Mikaela. We were organising a very special event to honour someone within our industry, and we wanted to ensure our lunch event was special. So we decided to find and support a local business, also a bonus that they are part of the Climate Active network. On the day of the event, Ben was on time, had everything ready with utensils to go, and even the finer details of bringing printed food labels so everyone would know what the dish was called and if it was vegetarian, dairy, nut and gluten free. Let’s talk about the food itself, everything was not only presented beautifully but everyone agreed it was delicious and went in for seconds (ample servings).

EDUCATION

On request, atiyah founder Ben Armstrong will speak about environmental and sustainable strategies in business.

As consumer demand for carbon neutral products and services continues to grow, Ben will explain how to successfully develop, certify, and take a carbon neutral product to market. He will discuss how to overcome the internal and external challenges that can be faced on the path to market, and also address the key influences and motivations behind carbon neutrality.

Ben will illustrate how the creation of carbon neutral products or services can add value to a brand, business and individual, and also share his tips for daily lifestyle changes that can be implemented in order to contribute to a more sustainable future.
