Our Greek Theme Catering
There’s a reason Greek cuisine is known around the world for bringing people together. With its rich flavors, colorful ingredients, and focus on shared meals, it’s the perfect foundation for events that are meant to feel joyful and welcoming. At Susan’s Kitchen, we specialize in turning themes into full-sensory experiences. Our Greek Theme Catering is more than just a meal—it’s a Mediterranean celebration designed to fit seamlessly into any New York City venue.
Whether you're planning a wedding, an outdoor birthday, or a rooftop mixer, Greek catering brings the spirit of hospitality into every dish. We build custom menus and event layouts that feel as fresh as the food itself. From long tables loaded with mezze to late-night grilled skewers served under string lights, this theme works in both elegant and casual settings. It’s part of what makes it a standout offering in our larger Themed Catering in NYC collection.
Greek food strikes that rare balance of being light, flavorful, and satisfying. It’s colorful on the plate and exciting on the palate. Our menus lean into the authenticity of ingredients like olive oil, lemon, oregano, honey, and fresh herbs—while also offering playful modern takes for today’s guests. That might mean traditional dolmades and spanakopita next to lamb burgers or orzo salad with charred feta and herbs. Everything is designed to be vibrant, customizable, and shareable.

Greek Food Stations for Live Serving
Greek catering lends itself beautifully to live stations and casual service formats. We can set up a custom grill station for lamb, chicken, or vegetable skewers brushed with oregano oil and finished on site. Add a flatbread station where guests can build their own gyros with proteins, spreads, and toppings. A meze bar featuring spreads and warm pitas makes for a low-key yet elegant grazing area that encourages mingling.
To create more variety and movement throughout your event space, we often integrate other popular carts and machines. Our Hot Dog Catering Carts can be reimagined with lamb dogs or Greek-inspired sausages. Our Pretzel Machine Catering adds a salty-satisfying snack with feta dipping sauce or tzatziki drizzle for a Mediterranean twist. And our Popcorn Machine Catering is always a playful touch for weddings and late-night bites—imagine it seasoned with lemon pepper or oregano sea salt to stay on theme.
Perfect Events for Greek Theme Catering
Greek-themed catering fits effortlessly into a wide variety of events. It’s a natural choice for engagement parties, wedding receptions, and baptism celebrations where cultural heritage is front and center. But it also works beautifully for NYC rooftop birthdays, garden dinners, and corporate mixers that want to feel welcoming without being too formal. The setup is flexible, the menu is universally loved, and the presentation always feels abundant and celebratory.
For daytime events, the Greek menu pairs perfectly with our Picnic Theme Catering, combining the relaxed outdoor vibe with Mediterranean flavors. If you’re planning something uniquely urban, our New York Theme Catering can be layered in to reflect the multicultural roots of the city while still letting Greek cuisine shine at the center of the experience.
Pair It with These Global Flavors
If you want to expand the culinary experience, Greek food mixes well with many of our other catering themes. Our Italian Dinner Feast brings warmth and rustic charm to the same tablescape, offering pasta dishes, roasted vegetables, and crowd-favorite cannoli. For events that lean beachy or summer-forward, try blending in our Hawaiian Luau Catering NY—grilled pineapple, coconut rice, and fruity cocktails pair surprisingly well with Greek salads and grilled meats.
If elegance is your goal, the French Connection adds a delicate touch with cheeses, pastries, and rosé spritzers, creating a cross-Mediterranean mood. Looking for something more eclectic? Our Asian Fusion Theme brings in bold spices and unexpected textures, and the China Express Theme adds energy to any celebration with fast, flavor-packed bites.
Add Energy, Color, and Community
Food is a language of connection, and that’s at the heart of what we aim for with every Greek-themed event. You can layer this experience with bold, expressive visuals from our LGBTQ+ Catering Theme NYC or bring playful elements from our Carnival Catering Theme NYC to keep the energy light and festive. For summer parties, our Day at the Beach BBQ integrates seamlessly with Greek menus, especially if you’re leaning into coastal vibes with grilled seafood and citrusy drinks.
Planning something dramatic or cinematic? The The Godfather theme offers family-style serving with flair, perfect for Greek celebrations with long tables and a warm, communal tone. And if you need a setup that keeps guests moving and plates fresh, our BBQ Station Catering Theme provides structure while letting guests choose their own adventure—whether that’s Greek lamb, pork souvlaki, or lemony grilled chicken.
