I hired Lefty chef for my wife’s 41st birthday dinner party and it was fantastic. The menu was thoughtfully curated, the food was better than restaurant-quality, and the plating was beautiful. Arrived on time, took over the kitchen with total professionalism, and kept the night running smoothly from first course to cleanup. Warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about the craft. My wife said it was one of her best birthdays ever. Highly recommend for anyone planning a special occasion!

A great experience from start to finshi. Dinner for 12 which consist of 5 kids and 7 adults. Everyone loved the meal. I was surprised that the kids ate all the food. The birthday girls my wife(40th) and daughter(10th) best birthday dinner ever. Flavors and colors stood out in the meals. Delicious from the Salad to the birthday cake. An experience we won’t ever forget. Thank you

Chef Ram was phenomenal! She was very professional. Thanks to her, what could have been a simple dinner at home, was turned into a 5 star 3-course dinner for Valentine’s Day. She also helped capture the moment I proposed to my fiancée over the delicious dessert she prepared for us. If you’re looking for a private chef, look no further!

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • Cold beverages (non-alcoholic) • Dessert • American - casual • Southern • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Ram is a true inspiration to a foodie like me. Her cuisine is second to none, with mouthwatering seasonings, textures, and colors that could drive anyone to the brink of ecstasy. Besides her unbelievable cooking, she's also very friendly, accommodating, and professional. I highly recommend the Lefty Chef!
