Gulf tea and coffee in Santa Ana

Santa Ana sits at the centre of Orange County and at the centre of our service radius. It is a city built on community events — cultural festivals, civic gatherings, mosque and church functions — and those are exactly the events a served beverage booth is designed for.

The counter is built to absorb a crowd — brewed in volume, poured continuously.

Santa Ana events

Community and cultural festivals, weddings and nikkahs, graduations, quinceañeras and family celebrations, plus corporate and civic functions downtown.

The dirty soda bar runs alongside the hot menu, which matters at daytime outdoor events with a lot of children.

The menu

What we serve in Santa Ana

Tea

Dubai Karak Chai

كرك
Signature

The signature. Strong black tea, cardamom, evaporated milk, brewed and poured to order.

Sulaimani Tea

سليماني

Black tea with no milk, brightened with lemon and a little spice. The Gulf digestif.

Sage Tea

ميرمية

Maramiya — fresh sage steeped with black tea. Herbal, warming, naturally caffeine-light.

Ginger Lemon Tea

Fresh ginger and lemon, steeped hot. The caffeine-free option that isn't an afterthought.

Iced Tea

Chilled and lightly sweetened — the outdoor-event workhorse.

Coffee

Turkish Coffee

قهوة تركية

Finely ground coffee simmered in a cezve and poured unfiltered, grounds and all.

Saudi Coffee

قهوة سعودية

Pale, cardamom-forward and lightly roasted, served in small handleless finjan cups.

Arabic Coffee

قهوة عربية

Gahwa poured from a traditional dallah — the Gulf's welcome drink.

French Coffee

Sweet, milky and mild — the Middle Eastern café version, not a French press.

Spanish Latte

New

Coffee with sweetened condensed milk — rich, sweet and currently everywhere.

Cold

Dirty Soda

Soda built with cream, syrups and fruit — the trend, done as a full serve-to-order bar.

Snack

Chips & Cheese Paratha

Flaky paratha wrapped around melted cheese and Chips Oman, with hot sauce.

Sweet

Kunafa

كنافة

Shredded pastry over soft cheese, baked and soaked in syrup. Served warm.

How it works

A booth, a counter, and a queue that keeps forming

We bring a branded canopy, a served counter, and pots of tea and coffee brewed the way they are brewed in the Gulf. Because everything is brewed in volume before the doors open, we hand out a hot cup every few seconds rather than every few minutes.

That matters most at the moments events actually get busy: the end of a ceremony, a conference break, the hour after sunset at a Ramadan bazaar. The booth is designed to absorb a crowd, and the setup is designed to be photographed while it does.

  • Branded canopy, calligraphy panels and feather flags included
  • Served counter — guests are handed a cup, not left to self-serve
  • Hot and cold menu so the booth works in July as well as December
  • Indoor or outdoor, with our own setup and breakdown

Honestly one of the best Karak experiences in California. Mohammad really knows what he's doing. Every cup hits different, rich, smooth, and full of authentic Eastern flavor. You can literally taste the spices, the warmth, the culture in every sip. It's not just tea, it feels like a small trip to the Middle East right here in Cali. If you're into real Karak, this place is a must.

I had the pleasure of having The Dubai Karak at my birthday celebration, and they truly exceeded every expectation. They were so kind, generous, and welcoming, creating such a beautiful atmosphere from the moment they arrived. The karak was absolutely amazing, rich and authentic, and they offered so much more than just drinks. Every detail, from their presentation to their outfits, was executed perfectly from A to Z. They brought such a luxurious, elevated vibe that made everyone fall in love with the experience and truly made my party unforgettable!

Questions

Santa Ana — common questions

Do you cater events in Santa Ana?

Yes. Santa Ana is inside our regular service area and we bring the full menu — karak chai, sulaimani, sage and ginger lemon tea, Arabic, Turkish, Saudi and French coffee, a Spanish latte, kunafa, chips and cheese paratha and a dirty soda bar.

What do you bring to a Santa Ana event?

Everything. Branded canopy, Arabic calligraphy panels, feather flags, the counter and all equipment. We set up and break down ourselves, indoors or outdoors.

How do you serve?

From a branded canopy booth with a served counter. Karak and the tea menu are brewed in pots, gahwa is poured from a dallah and Turkish coffee is made to order in a cezve — all brewed in volume ahead of the pour, so a crowd clears quickly.

How far in advance should we book a Santa Ana date?

As early as you can. Weekend dates in wedding season and during Ramadan fill first. Send your date through the form and we will confirm availability straight away.

Do you serve cold drinks too?

Yes. Iced tea and a made-to-order dirty soda bar run from the same booth as the hot menu, which matters for daytime outdoor events in Southern California.
