Ceremonial occasions are an especially appropriate time to celebrate with delicious Middle Eastern food. During special events, such as parties, religious holidays, and weddings, the cuisine is laid lavishly on a cloth placed on the floor. It is customary for individuals of opposite sexes not to eat with one another unless they are spouses, siblings, or children.

Before dinner, guests sip tea and nosh on chickpeas or pistachios before moving on to the larger meal. One of the main courses is hearty rice pilaf, a warm dish that incorporates fragrant grains with carrots, pistachios, peas, raisins, or various meats. Other special occasion favorites include meats like kebabs and mutton, as well as beef, camel, and chicken.

Vegetarians also enjoy mouthwatering Middle Eastern food, which includes meatless specialties like noodle soup, fried crepes stuffed with leeks, and numerous colorful, healthy vegetables that range from eggplant to spinach. Pasta and beans are also quite popular. Fruits are typically served for dessert after the meal, and they are also enjoyed as a daytime snack.
