Chef Omar was incredible, the food and presentation was very good and he interacted with us just the right amount. I would highly recommend Chef zomar.

5/5 experience. Myself and some friends hired chef Omar as a surprise for our friend’s bachelorette party. We chose to do an Italian themed dinner with wine pairings. Chef Omar planned a delicious 4 course dinner and gave us recommended wine pairings for each course. Not only was the food incredible but the suggested wine pairings were perfect. One of the girls is vegetarian and he made sure her main course was just as delicious as the rest of our groups main course. We truly did not have to lift a finger, they served us and cleaned up after themselves. My kitchen was spotless! Chef Omar and his helper were so professional but also so kind and we all enjoyed getting to know them a little bit. I would definitely recommend Chef Omar to anyone in the future who wanted to treat themselves, a friend or a group to an elevated dining experience in the comfort of your own home. Thank you Chef!

Chef Omar was excellent. The food was incredible and the presentation was great. He was extremely professional and engaging with us in telling us about his career as a chef and his dishes. The cleanup was impeccable when they left. He created an incredible evening for us.

This was my first time using Take a Chef and it was a seamless experience. Chef Omar was friendly and communicative and handled everything. My kitchen is not well equipped but that didn’t matter as he brought everything he needed including plates and cutlery! Great experience, tasty food and my guests loved it.

Chef Omar’s passion for food was apparent from the first dish we tasted. He was extremely punctual, polite, respectful, and friendly. He happily walked us through any questions we had about the dishes he prepared, and made our experience completely unforgettable. I would highly recommend his services, and look forward to welcoming him back into my home in the future. 10/10 experienced!

Omar was very good, Our kids 9 and 6 had a blast with him and he was very patient showing them each step as he prepared our meal. The food was all amazing and we would do it again.

Chef Omar was very good. He was accommodating to people with dietary restrictions. He had large portions with very good flavours.

We had the privilege of having Omar El Ouahssous and his assistant come into our home for an evening of fine cooking and dining. Omar added a lot of personal touches such as making his own butter and breads to begin the meal. He accommodated our gluten free guests as well. The meal was spectacular. It was so refreshing to have someone in our kitchen who was very respectful and courteous to all our guests. He was interactive and friendly. I would highly recommend when choosing a private chef that you consider Omar. Our kitchen was left as clean or cleaner than when he began cooking. I would give our experience with Omar a 5 star. Reservation was Feb 28th for my husband’s 70 bday Joan M

We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Chef Omar for a private dinner, and the entire experience was nothing short of extraordinary. His service was impeccable from start to finish—professional, friendly and funny that led to an amazing night. The evening felt effortless and special thanks to his attention to detail and genuine passion for what he does. The food itself was phenomenal—easily some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It wasn’t just a meal, it was an unforgettable dining experience. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend his services to anyone looking to elevate a night into something truly memorable

Chef Omar and his team were incredible. They were professional, friendly and engaging. We had a fantastic evening over some of the most delicious food we have ever eaten. Overall a great experience.

Chef Omar was lovely to have into our home. Polite, friendly and very engaging. He served us filling dishes that were made with care and attention to detail. Leaving our kitchen better than he found it he is a great choice for a lovely dinner experience!

My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, and Omar made the evening truly unforgettable. This was our first time hiring a private chef, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Omar was professional, attentive, and made us feel like we were dining at a five-star restaurant in the comfort of our own home. The food was exceptional — beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. Omar took his time with every course and made sure we never felt rushed, even when our 10-month-old woke up from her nap and joined us at the table. He went above and beyond by preparing her a small serving of gourmet mashed potatoes, which was such a thoughtful touch. On top of his incredible cooking, Omar was patient, warm, and left our kitchen spotless, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the evening. It was an amazing experience, and we will definitely be booking Omar again for future celebrations.

Chef Omar did an amazing job. The dishes were prepared exactly as expected and the timing was perfect Would have chef Omar back again

What a great experience! Our chef, Omar was amazing. His attention to detail, from curating the menu, to describing the dishes served, the preparation and presentation of the dishes, was beyond our expectations. Everything was so delicious, and there was so much food! Ad far as the clean up… I can’t begin to explain how thorough he was and how clean my kitchen was when he was finish. We will definitely plan an evening like this, in our home again

Chef Omar was absolutely incredible to deal with from start to finish. Our group didn't know what to expect as this was our first experience with an in house chef, and he set the bar very high for us! Omar communicated so well leading up to the evening, he was so comfortable to have and talk to in our house, and the food was all amazing. Some of the best food we've all eaten. Overall, Omar made our evening so enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

Omar’s food was incredible. Portions were huge and delicious. First time using takeachef and I would highly recommend Omar.

From communication prior to coming to my home to final clean up, Chef Omar was very responsive, professional and very friendly. He even surprised with a meal that was not even on the menu! The meals were very delicious and the presentation was amazing. I will recommend Chef Omar anytime! It was our first experience but well worth it!

A Private Dining Experience to Remember! I can’t say enough great things about Chef Omar! When I was in a bind after two chefs canceled on me last minute, Chef Omar came to the rescue and truly exceeded all expectations. His ability to step in with such short notice and still deliver an amazing private dining experience was nothing short of remarkable. The food was absolutely divine—every dish was crafted with care, flavor, and precision. From the presentation to the taste, everything was flawless. Chef Omar’s professionalism and calm demeanor made the entire experience stress-free, and he quickly turned what could have been a disaster into an unforgettable evening. I highly recommend Chef Omar for anyone looking for a reliable, talented, and professional chef. I will absolutely be using his services again in the future!

Omar was amazing. It was our first take a chef experience and Omar made it wonderful. The food was excellent. Very tasty and the presentation was great! We will be using Omar again in the future.
