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.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I hired Craft Catering for a baby shower of about 20 people. Our menu included: - Arugula and apple salad with goat cheese stuffed mushrooms - Plated stuffed mushrooms - Roast Beef Sandwiches - Tandoori chicken skewers - Potatoes bravas - Garlic shrimp with crostinis Food that needed to be prepared fresh-- hot dishes-- was prepared at our venue. Everything we had was delicious and flavorful especially the garlic shrimp. Craft catering was very easy to work with. They were very professional and worked hard to make everything just right for our event. I would hire them again.

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!!!
