Seema is an exceptional chef with a remarkable talent for creating diverse and flavorful cuisines. We recently had her Italian dishes, and the fettuccine Alfredo was nothing short of perfection—creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor. Her plating skills were impeccable, making every dish a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
I've also had the pleasure of trying her Indian and Mexican cuisine, and they were equally outstanding. Each dish was prepared with authentic flavors and an attention to detail that truly showcased her culinary expertise.
What truly impressed us was her generosity—though we ordered for 7 people, she served more than enough, ensuring everyone was satisfied and happy.
Seema is a culinary artist who excels across multiple cuisines. If you’re looking for a chef who delivers amazing food with a personal touch, I highly recommend her!

I recommend Chef Seema! We were looking for someone to make authentic Indian food and she delivered, last-minute and with style, making a great birthday feast for my mom. We were all impressed.

I have catered with seema for about 2-3 events in the last year and everyone loves her food.
I work with corporates and her food always stands out!
I tasted her food first time at an event my friend hosted and I remembered the taste of the food. It was special and different. Since then I started hiring her.
She is passionate about food and is a true artist
My fav orders are Indian and Italian food with her, I have also catered Mexican and sushi with her before!
This is not your regular food it’s special and leaves a memory in your palate! Her staff kevin and Isabel are professional.
Also she always will work within your budget!
FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have premium pricing because of my experience and my expertise on creating food. I always make sure to add a little extra food like dessert or extra portions so you can enjoy more than once.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a culinary arts degree from AI art institute in costa mesa. For training I have interned for Gordon Ramsey for 6 months and have worked with multiple celebrities.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always been in love with cooking even since I was 5. My earliest memories were cooking with my grandmother and always helping her everyday. I got a degree in Fashion and textile at FIDM to please my parents but after a couple years I decided to pursue my passion in cooking and the leap of faith was the best thing I have ever done.
