New as a name, not as a team
Qira is a Jeddah-based catering company founded in 2026 by a team that has cooked and served in the Kingdom since 2014: diplomatic hospitality, Hajj meals, Riyadh Season and Jeddah Season activations, school and corporate meal programmes, workforce catering and restaurant operations.
A name that carries a promise
Qira (قِرى) is the classical Arabic word for the food a host offers a guest. In Arabian tradition no traveller left a generous house hungry, whoever they were and however many came.
We named the company after that promise, and we run it the way a good host runs a table: generous portions, honest cooking, and nobody kept waiting.
Today we serve corporates, government entities, schools, event organisers, workforce sites, hotels and families from our central kitchen in Jeddah, and serve Makkah from Jeddah and through partners.
What we stand for
- GenerosityPortions, presentation and service worthy of the name Qira.
- AuthenticityEvery dish cooked by a chef who specialises in its cuisine.
- Safety alwaysHygiene and food safety come before speed, every time.
- Reliability at scaleThe same standard for ten guests or ten thousand meals.
- PartnershipMenus, formats and budgets shaped around the client.
