When it comes to hosting an unforgettable event, food takes center stage. For a dish that’s vibrant, flavourful, and rich in tradition, paella catering is hard to beat — and in Perth, Kamal Alfaro of Kamal’s Quarter Paella Catering is the name to know.

With over 12 years of experience, Kamal has perfected the art of bringing Spain’s iconic dish to local suburbs, turning gatherings into celebrations. Here’s why Kamal’s Quarter Paella Catering can elevate your next event and what makes it so special.

Why Paella is a catering showstopper

Paella isn’t just a meal — it’s a cultural experience. Hailing from Valencia, Spain, this dish began as a humble mix of rice, saffron, and whatever farmers had on hand, like rabbit or beans. Today, it’s a versatile crowd-pleaser, with options like seafood paella, mixed paella (meat and seafood), and vegetarian versions (see our menu here). Kamal Alforo embraces this versatility, making it ideal for any occasion — whether it’s a wedding, a corporate event, or a casual backyard bash in Perth’s suburbs.

What makes Kamal’s paella stand out is the spectacle. Imagine a massive pan bubbling with golden saffron rice, juicy prawns, tender chicken, and colorful veggies, all cooked live before your eyes. The tantalising aroma draws guests in, and the communal serving style — straight from the pan — creates a warm, shared vibe that’s perfect for bringing people together.

Kamal Alfaro: the heart of Kamal’s Quarter Paella Catering

For more than 12 years, chef and business owner Kamal Alfaro has been delighting Perth locals with his mastery of paella. Through Kamal’s Quarter Paella Catering, he’s built a reputation for excellence across the city’s suburbs, from humble beginnings at the Subiaco Station Street Markets. Here’s what sets his service apart:

  1. Authenticity with a local twist
    Kamal honors paella’s Spanish roots with premium saffron and authentic Bomba or Calasparra rice, which soaks up flavors without losing texture. But he also knows his Perth audience, incorporating fresh, local ingredients—like seafood from WA’s pristine coastlines—to create a taste that’s both traditional and uniquely Western Australian.

  2. Live cooking magic
    Kamal turns every event into a show. With his giant paellera sizzling over an open flame, he layers in ingredients with skill and flair, captivating guests as the dish comes to life. It’s more than food—it’s entertainment that leaves a lasting impression.

  3. Freshness you can taste
    Kamal’s commitment to quality shines through in his ingredients. He sources the best local seafood, meats, and produce from Perth’s surrounding areas, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor. Think plump mussels, crisp seasonal veggies, and succulent chicken, all elevated by his expert touch.

  4. Tailored to your event
    Kamal works closely with clients to customise the menu. Hosting a beachside party in Cottesloe? He’ll load up on seafood. Planning a rustic gathering in the Swan Valley? Expect a hearty mix of meats and veggies. With options for gluten-free and vegetarian diets, Kamal’s Quarter Paella Catering ensures everyone’s included.

  5. Perfect portions, every time
    With over a decade of experience, Kamal knows how to scale his paella for any crowd — whether it’s an intimate dinner for 20 or a big bash for 200. His team delivers just the right amount, so guests leave happy without waste.
