Rijsttafel catering for your party
A rijsttafel is made for sharing. So why only at our table?
With OOST Catering, we bring our Indonesian kitchen beyond the restaurant. For birthdays, drinks, weddings, business lunches, or simply because you want to enjoy great food with a larger group.
We provide catering in Haarlem and the surrounding area for groups of 10 people or more. You can pick up your order from us, or we can deliver it and set everything up for you.
And what will be on the table? Simply the food you know from OOST. The same dishes, the same ingredients, and the same kitchen – just in larger pans.

Rijsttafel catering: what we make
Rijsttafel buffet.
The Indonesian buffet you know and love: rendang, satay, ayam rica-rica, gado-gado, sambal goreng beans, sayur lodeh, nasi, bami, and much more. Eight to twelve dishes, depending on your preferences. Delivered warm in containers ready to be placed directly on the table, with a card for each dish explaining what it is and its spice level. From € 28.50 per person. Vegetarian from € 25.50.
Lunchbox.
Nasi campur per person in a box: four dishes, rice, an egg, prawn crackers, and a side of sambal. Perfect for the office and meetings, as everyone has their own box and no one needs to serve themselves. Vegetarian boxes are labeled with a sticker. From € 17.50 per person.
Satay and spring rolls for drinks.
Grilled satay with peanut sauce and spring rolls with sambal. By the piece, as many as you like. Can be served alongside bitterballen, or instead of them.
Spekkoek (Indonesian layer cake).
A whole cake to go with coffee, or individually wrapped slices to give to your guests.
How it works
Let us know the date, the number of guests, and if there are any vegetarians. You will receive a proposal with pricing within a day. Confirm by sending an email to info@oosteeten.nl. A week in advance is great; during the summer and around the holidays, two weeks is preferred. Payment can be made afterward via invoice, even for private orders.
Prefer to call first? 06-48979760.
How much do you need
With a proper rijsttafel, no one should go home hungry. That’s why we serve generous portions. We assume everyone will serve themselves at least twice – and there’s always someone who goes back for a third round.
Leftovers? You're in luck for the next day. After all, Indonesian food arguably tastes even better on day two.
For drinks, you can count on about three to four satay skewers and two spring rolls per person, provided there are other snacks on the table as well. Is it replacing a full meal? Then we recommend doubling that amount.
Not quite sure how much you need? Feel free to give us a call. Let us know how many people are attending and what you have in mind, and we'll figure out the right amount together. It's better to have a little too much than to have a platter that's empty in no time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum?
Ten people for pickup, twenty for delivery and setup.
Do you also provide plates and cutlery?
No, just the food, in bowls and/or chafing dishes that can be placed on the table, with serving spoons. We can arrange plates and warmers at cost price if you’d like.
Can it be done in the afternoon, for lunch?
Yes. Lunch boxes and the buffet are available from 11:30 AM, even on days when the restaurant is only open in the evening.
What if more people show up than planned?
We can easily adjust up to two days in advance. After that, we’ll do our best. Usually, it works out.
Do you also host weddings?
Yes, a rijsttafel for dinner after the ceremony works well: long tables, everything in the middle, and no one has to choose.
