Host A Lebanese-Style Christmas Party In Sydney

Sydney at Christmas is always about sunshine, family and a generous larder. If you want a festive table that brings people together, there is no food that does this more beautifully than Lebanese food - colourful, spicy, and shareable. At the core of the following guide, we are going to share with you ways to create an easy and relaxed Christmas celebration at home or at a venue using a combination of iconic Lebanese dishes from our kitchen and our catering team.

Whether you prepare a little, order a lot or book a table at a Lebanese restaurant in Sydney, this guide provides clear pathways to experience an easy, welcoming and festive Christmas gathering. This guide assumes a diversity of tastes, prefers casual (not formal) gatherings and allows you to choose what parts you follow, as you plan your gathering.

Let’s explore how to plan it step by step.

Celebrate Your Christmas Around Share Plates

Start with a spread that invites everyone to graze. Lebanese food is meant for this exact scenario. Mezze – hummus, baba ganoush, toum, batata, and pickles – are served to start, and hot bites – sambousik and falafel – follow first. All of these items are featured on Tetas' menu and are such great party food because you can eat and chat together.

Teta Is Your Trusted Middle Eastern Catering In Sydney

If you have a full schedule, it would be wise to outsource some or all of the menu. Tetas offers Lebanese catering in Sydney, based on family recipes and traditional methods, for home parties, corporate events or private celebrations. Christmas is a great opportunity because the food travels well, it is delivered ready to plate or serve, and it enables the host to have the day to enjoy themselves.

Prefer A Venue Instead Of Home Prep? Which Lebanese Restaurant In Sydney Fits Your Party?

When you eat at a restaurant, you have someone else taking care of the setup and cleanup! Tetas is a family-operated business. Tetas is a family-owned restaurant located in Roseville Chase that serves hearty portions of Armenian and Lebanese food in a share-type method. This share-type process gets friends and family to enjoy the relaxed experience of eating great quality platters with other people at long tables. The added benefit of a venue is that you can also provide festive elements, such as a terrace space, if considered, or options for those looking for a small activity table for kids.

Our Festive Menu Is The Best Among All Lebanese Restaurants In Sydney

Christmas in Sydney lands in summer, so think fresh, bright and grill-friendly.

Cold mezze platter

The warm Lebanese bread, olives, pickles, hummus, baba ganoush, and labneh will satisfy guests as they come. Since they are all available on the Tetas menu, restocking is simple.

Hot starters

Falafel, sambousik and kibbeh offer texture and spice without being heavy. Tetas lists these on the dine-in and takeaway menus, so you can order by pieces for accurate headcounts.

From the grill

Mixed skewers like chicken, kafta and lamb are a crowd favourite and carry well for catering. Tetas’ takeaway packages include combinations of skewers with salads and dips, which is helpful for simple planning.

Salads and veg

Fattoush and tabbouleh cut through richer items and bring colour to the table. Fried batata with toum is always a hit next to grills. These features are in Tetas’ packages and sides.

Seafood option

Light fried calamari or grilled fish keeps things summery and suits mixed dietary needs. Tetas offers calamari on the menu for variety.

Host A Christmas Party At Your Home, And We Will Take Care Of The Food

You can mix home touches with professional cooking for a balanced day. For example, prepare a fresh salad and dessert at home, then order hot and cold mezze plus skewers from the restaurant. Tetas’ takeaway menu lets you choose quantities, while set packages give you a complete base if you do not want to count pieces. This approach saves time and gives you reliable quality.

Want A Venue Near The North Shore That Feels Like Family?

The Tetas' address is 25 Babbage Road, Roseville Chase, NSW 2069. This is a great location for visitors from the north and the lower north shore. Group bookings are perfect for families without enough room at home or looking to gather at a shared space. The casual vibe promotes long conversations and shared eating.

How To Estimate The Right Food Portions For Mixed Groups?

Estimate your mezze

Plan two to three cold dips per five guests and one hot bite per person to start. If you are ordering from a restaurant, choose packages sized by headcount to avoid over- or under-ordering. Tetas’ packages list counts for skewers and sides to help here.

Balance proteins

Offer at least one chicken, one lamb or beef, and either a seafood or veg option for situational mixed tables. Kafta and chicken skewers should be a safe option.

Dips and bread

Double your bread order. Hummus and toum always go faster than expected. Both are core parts of the Tetas experience.

Drinks That Match The Menu

Simply provide an assortment of cold sparkling and tap water, beer, dry whites, and lighter reds. An optional pitcher of mint lemonade and non-alcoholic pomegranate spritz can add some colour. The drinks will maintain their cold temperatures throughout a long, slow summer's day lunch, and the scents of citrus and mint around the table will mingle nicely with the smells of Lebanese food.

The Table Should Look As Presentable As The Food

Well, if you are visiting our Lebanese restaurant in Sydney, you don’t have to stress about your reserved table decor, because at Tetas, we take good care of the overall Christmas theme for your table.

1. White plates with green or red cloth napkins nod to Christmas without going overboard.

2. A few sprigs of parsley and mint in small jars echo the food.

3. Use shallow bowls for dips so guests can see what is on offer.

4. Put toum near the grills to keep the flow quick.

Complete Vegetarian And Gluten-Free Meal To Order From A Lebanese Restaurant In Sydney

Lebanese food presents many plant-forward options. A complete plate can include falafel, salads and grilled vegetables, and gluten-free guests can order salads, dips and proteins without bread. Tetas identifies items like falafel and gluten-friendly options on its menu, making it easier to order for mixed needs.

Some Useful Ordering Tips From Your Beloved Lebanese Restaurant In Sydney

Packages are efficient for groups because the mix is decided and the maths is done. Tetas’ takeaway packages bundle skewers, salads, dips and bread so you avoid piecemeal planning.

If your group wants extra of one item, add a few more pieces of that dish from the main menu. Falafel and kibbeh are easy to scale.

For larger groups or off-site events, request catering rather than standard takeaway, so you can arrange timing, quantities and setup advice. Tetas provides Lebanese catering across Sydney for private and corporate events.
