We used Chef Zain for a 40th birthday party for 6 adults. Her ability to turn my ideas and tastes into a 4-course menu was exactly what we were looking for in this engagement.

The flavors were amazing and meals were elegantly plated. She also did a great job accommodating a gluten free guest.

We also asked her to prepare a dinner for reheating for our larger group (6 adults & 5 kids) the next day. The Shawarma Bar did not disappoint and all of the guests were stunned at the quality and freshness of the meal, including several fantastic spreads and sauces. If you go with this menu do not pass up the Egyptian falafels!

Would definitely book her again.
