Karak and gahwa for the moments that bring families together

Weddings and receptions. A live station gives guests a warm place to gather while they arrive and between the moments of the day. Tell us the guest count and the hours, and we quote the station to both.

Mehndi and henna nights. Karak and gahwa poured live suit a long, relaxed evening, and the flasks and trays work for the family hosting at home.

Majlis gatherings. Our majlis station is built around gahwa from the dallah, premium dates and a karak urn. Self-serve, or hosted by a uniformed host who pours for your guests.

Family celebrations, Eid and National Day at home. For a smaller gathering you do not need a station: karak flasks and trays arrive ready to pour. Planning it for the office instead? See karak for offices and National Day karak.
