Order NowBerkeley moves at a particular pace — intellectually restless, culturally diverse, and perpetually in need of good food for the next meeting, event, or gathering. Whether the occasion is a UC Berkeley department lunch, a nonprofit board meeting, a student organization event, or a tech company gathering in the Southside corridor, the catering question in Berkeley always involves the same challenge: quality, variety, and a menu that actually works for a diverse group.
iniBurger at 2114 Center St in Downtown Berkeley answers that challenge. USDA Choice Premium Black Angus beef, all-natural antibiotic-free cage-free chicken, 100% halal across every item, falafel and vegetarian options, and a catering menu that scales from 20 to 100-plus guests. Order online at catering.iniburger.com.
iniBurger holds the same ingredient standard at catering scale as at the counter: USDA Choice Premium Black Angus beef, all-natural antibiotic-free cage-free chicken, and non-GMO rice bran oil for frying. These are not marketing phrases — they apply consistently whether the order is for 25 or 100 guests.
Every item is 100% halal certified. Berkeley's workforce and student population reflect some of the most diverse demographics in the Bay Area, and a fully halal menu means one order covers every attendee — no separate accommodations, no supplemental vendors.
iniBurger's catering format maps to Berkeley's event landscape — from a 20-person seminar lunch to a 100-person campus event.
Small groups (20–30 people): Individual Boxed Lunches per person are the cleanest solution for a department seminar, faculty meeting, or small campus event. Each person pre-selects their own box — beef burgers (Americano, Western, Mexicali, Hawaiian Spice, Mushroom, Double Decker), chicken sandwiches (Malibu, Crispy, Nashville), veggie, falafel, Impossible, or salad boxes. Add a 24-wing platter and a Box of Fries (12 servings) to complete the spread.
Mid-size groups (30–60 people): Individual Boxed Lunches as the backbone, supplemented with a 48-wing platter, one or two loaded fry boxes (Nashville Hot Chicken Fries or Crispy Chicken Nacho Fries), and a Catering Salad. This format handles UC Berkeley department events, nonprofit convenings, and tech company offsites in the East Bay without requiring a dedicated catering coordinator.
Large events (60–100-plus people): Individual Boxed Lunches at scale ensure every person gets a personalized meal. Supplement with M'ini Burger Packages — the 24-burger + 12-sides or 48-burger + 24-sides packages — alongside wing platters and multiple loaded fry boxes for communal variety. Student organization conferences, campus-wide events, and large institutional gatherings in Berkeley all fall in this range.
The beef and chicken lineups cover the majority of the table. Falafel, Garden Burger, and Impossible Cheeseburger options give plant-forward and vegetarian eaters a substantive choice. Wings come in 11 sauce variations — from mild Ranch and Garlic Parmesan to Mango Habanero and Stinging Honey Garlic — so individuals customize their own experience. The 100% halal certification means every item is available to every guest, regardless of dietary background or religious observance. One order, everyone covered.
UC Berkeley is one of the most diverse research universities in the world, with a student body, faculty, and staff that span every dietary tradition and cultural background. Department catering for academic events, student organization meals, and administrative gatherings all require a menu that handles this diversity without a separate order for every dietary preference. iniBurger's fully halal, broadly diverse menu — beef, chicken, vegetarian, vegan-adjacent, and kids options — is built for exactly this audience.
Downtown Berkeley's commercial corridor, anchored by the BART station and Berkeley Rep, generates a consistent demand for group catering: nonprofit organizations, small tech companies, creative agencies, and civic groups whose events require real food at a manageable price. The 2114 Center St location is within walking distance of the BART station and the core of this activity.
The East Bay institutional catering market extends from Berkeley into Oakland, Emeryville, and Albany. For organizations that need a catering pickup point accessible from across the East Bay, Downtown Berkeley BART makes iniBurger a practical staging point for groups arriving from multiple directions.
