Chef Zain was fantastic. She gave suggestions on the menu and gave us multiple options to choose from. She was punctual and the communication was on point. The food! Oh my God, the food! Unbelievable. Her paella was fantastic. We will be hiring her again… as will many of our friends who had the pleasure of eating her food.

I contacted and hired Chef Zain for my sister's bachelorette party and I am so happy I did. My request was a little last minute (only about two weeks before the bachelorette), but she answered all my questions quickly and delivered on my menu requests perfectly. The food was even better than I imagined it would be. I am sad that I do not live in Houston or I would hire Zain many more times!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Southern • Asian • Nut allergies • I'm flexible • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Zain, was great since the time she arrived at my home. Her presentation of the food she prepared was outstanding, and tasted amazing. Chef Zain came out to my home on Mother's Day and out did herself on her day without any issues. I would most definitely use her again, and refer to all my family and friends.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I hired Zain last weekend as a personal chef for my sister's bachelorette party and I can't say enough about the wonderful experience we had! From the first conversation I had with her, Zain was very friendly, accommodating and professional. Excellent communication. She prepared the Mezze Platter & Lamb Kufta Kebab Sliders for appetizers, Chicken Shawarma Bar for the entree, and Cardamom Cake for dessert. Literally everything was so perfect & delicious!! We were all over the top impressed. Don't even hesitate to book her - she rocks! It was a highlight of our weekend :)

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
