Capital Doner Catering — Washington DC & Northern Virginia
The full-service catering brand behind the DMV's most-requested doner, gyro, shawarma, and Mediterranean menus—delivered hot, on time, from 15 to 500+ guests.
Service Overview
Capital Doner Catering is a Northern Virginia–based Halal catering company that serves Washington DC, Arlington, Alexandria, and the surrounding DMV. We built our reputation on a single idea: real Turkish doner, carved fresh, plated beautifully, and delivered to your event still hot. Over the past decade our chefs have expanded the menu to include gyro, chicken and beef shawarma, brick-oven-style pizza, and a full lineup of Mediterranean mezze, rice pilafs, and salads so a single caterer can cover almost any guest count and dietary need.
Every order is prepared in our commercial kitchen using certified Halal proteins from vetted DMV suppliers, hand-cut vegetables, and house-made sauces. Nothing is pre-plated hours in advance and nothing is reheated from a warehouse—doner logs are stacked and marinated the morning of your event, then finished on our vertical broilers just before the driver leaves. That workflow is why corporate clients across K Street, Crystal City, and Tysons keep us on standing weekly orders.
Beyond the food, we are catering operators first. That means transparent per-guest pricing, written quotes within one business day, itemized invoices for corporate accounts, COI on request, and a dedicated coordinator for weddings and large private events. Whether you need a 20-person conference-room drop-off or a 500-guest wedding with live doner-carving stations, Capital Doner Catering runs the entire operation in-house.
