Recipes passed down, plated for today.

APK Catering began at a family table in Tehran, where saffron, rosewater and pomegranate told stories long before any menu did. Today our chef brings those flavors to the DMV with a modern, elegant touch — every tray plated by hand, every garnish chosen with care.

From small private gatherings to weddings of 300 guests, we prepare each event as if it were our own — with the freshest produce, authentic Persian recipes, and the kind of warm hospitality that turns a meal into a memory.
