The chefs were thoughtful, fun, and delivered a wonderful experience with amazing food. Couldn’t get enough of the filet mignon and sauces they made for everything. We were all so full and yet so grateful for the leftovers. Would recommend!

Shane Gallagher

Chef Hakim made our Christmas Eve dinner absolutely unforgettable. The food was incredible—every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully plated, and perfectly cooked. He put together a menu that impressed everyone, from the foodies to the picky eaters, and had us all raving about it long after the meal. What really stood out, though, was Chef Hakim’s professionalism. He treated our kitchen with care, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless. If you’re looking for a private chef who can deliver not just fantastic food but a seamless experience, Chef Hakim is the one. He turned our holiday celebration into something truly special, and we’re already looking forward to the next event with him.

The take a chef experience was great from start to finish being able to view proposals and communicate directly with the chef and once I made a choice Chef Hakim Austin took the time to walk me through a menu and expressed concerns for any allergies and special dietary needs and accommodated accordingly. Our guest enjoyed the experience, and the chef interacted with the guest as they inquired about the meal being prepared. A great time and experience.

Chef Hakim and staff were amazing! They arrived with everything necessary, cooked an amazing meal and served us from appetizers to dessert. Everything was made from scratch and absolutely delicious!! They also cleaned up everything completely and stowed all of the leftovers in the fridge as well. Very personable and extremely engaging with our group of 20. You will not be disappointed and we will be definitely having them again!

I set up a surprise birthday dinner for my best friend who lives on the other side of the country and Chef Hakim did not disappoint! While I didn’t get to taste his food, my best friend informed me he was incredibly thoughtful, had great vibes, was so nice, and cooked delicious food! He was great to communicate with and incredibly responsive to all of my questions and inquiries. I’m so glad I could set this up and wouldn’t hesitate to hire Chef Hakim to come back for another dinner!
