I reached out to Craft Personal Chefs less than 2 weeks prior to my event. They were quick to respond and provide me with a sample menu. What I appreciated most was their timeliness, professionalism, hospitality, and communication. What we loved best was the food and presentation! We had a seafood and steak feast! Everything from the salad to the sauces was delicious. The cake was presented beautifully in a delicious raspberry sauce. We even had leftovers to enjoy. After preparing the amazing meal, the chefs cleaned and washed the dishes! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to host another dinner party with Craft Personal Chefs.

Where do I begin? We hired Chef Khan for my mother’s birthday party. 6 of us enjoyed a private meal orchestrated by him. It was OUT OF THE WORLD DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything about the experience was exceptional; we SO enjoyed having him at our party. Basma was incredibly good at helping organize everything leading up to the day. The food was exceptional. And the price was spot-on. We will ABSOLUTELY be using them again. Thank you!!!
