Chef Ahmad gave us an incredible anniversary experience. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, warm, and clearly passionate about his craft. The meal he prepared was absolutely delicious — each dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. Dining at home felt like a five-star restaurant thanks to his care and attention to detail. He made the evening feel personal and memorable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. Thank you, Chef Ahmad — we’ll definitely be booking again!

Chef Ahmad was more than amazing! He was communicative prior to the dinner and made our evening perfect. His food was delicious and he followed through with what was promised! I have never hired a private chef before but after this experience I will definitely utilize the service again! Hire Ahmad for your next event! He will make the evening a wonderful memory.

Laura Ann Teplitsky

Chef Ahmad was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning his communication was excellent. He was accommodating and made adjustments to the menu based on our group's needs. On the day of the dinner, he arrived promptly at our house and went straight to work in the kitchen. He was professional and discrete throughout the evening. And his mediterranean food was phenomenal!! We had enough leftovers to carry us over into the next day. At the end of the night, he cleaned everything, and graciously left us to the rest of our evening. I would recommend Chef Ahmad to anyone who wants a private chef experience. He was truly a pleasure to work with.
