I hired Zain last weekend as a personal chef for my sister's bachelorette party and I can't say enough about the wonderful experience we had! From the first conversation I had with her, Zain was very friendly, accommodating and professional. Excellent communication. She prepared the Mezze Platter & Lamb Kufta Kebab Sliders for appetizers, Chicken Shawarma Bar for the entree, and Cardamom Cake for dessert. Literally everything was so perfect & delicious!! We were all over the top impressed. Don't even hesitate to book her - she rocks! It was a highlight of our weekend :)

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Zain provided a fantastic experience for my family on Mother's Day this year! The personal service was excellent. Zain is a wonderful lady and her Thai menu turned out to be a great choice for all of us. My wife was extremely pleased with the experience and I turned out looking pretty good for setting it up! Thank you Zain, we'll be doing it again when the right occasion arrives!

I’m a doctor from Nigeria, my workload doesn’t allow for a lot of leisure time. Upon meeting Zain and making the introduction that she’s a personal chef. I forced myself to carve out time to enjoy my colleagues and myself. We gathered at my house for a dinner that was tailored by Zain and my preferences. Zain, is an artist and the kitchen is her muse. When I say my colleagues and I barely took our eyes off of her, that is an understatement. When the first course came, she served all of us with care, grace, and intent. She explained all of the courses, ingredients, and best way to enjoy each plate. I have never heard this group of friends get so quiet. Each and everyone of us were in a state of enjoyment from the dishes she prepared. The groundnut soup with Cornish hens had so many levels to it. There was sweetness, heat, warmth, coolness, texture, and everything else in between! Her beauty shines through her cooking. What an experience! What an experience! I have no more words than-“what an experience, young lady!” -Dr. Odo
