I loved my experience with Chef Idah. Her menu proposal provided me with options for each course, and she landed on the event day with all her ingredients neatly packed. She provided lovely printed menus for my guests, and introduced the dishes as they were served. Chef Idah is so warm and friendly, we had a lovely time interacting with her. And of course the food - professionally presented, good portion sizes, and taste great! Having a private chef allowed me to relax and enjoy my dinner with my guests instead of dashing to the kitchen constantly when having parties. I would definitely recommend Chef Idah ????

Thank you Chef Idah for all the wonderful ideas and preparation and cooking and serving of the dinner! ALL the dishes were very yummy and fantastic and made our hens night for our friend a very very memorable one! Super thankful for going the extra mile in actively checking in with us if we have what we needed, and always so encouraging and quick in your replies to us, especially when we only managed to confirm on our preferences quite last minute! Thank you Chef Idah for everything and the delicacies you prepared for us definitely one of the bestest foods we have eaten in our lives!! :)

This is my first time and was honestly unsure what to expect, but Chef Idah came through and over ! Her dishes were mind blowing , never before seen and is a work of art both visually and taste-wise. She was very accommodating to the requests I have and even surprised us with a lovely post meal beverage. I admired how she handled situations with the guests and always kept up her cheerful and amiable attitude. For those who are first-timers with such service, or even you’re a regular enjoyer, I highly recommend experiencing what Chef Idah has to offer :)

Idah and Ammal created the perfect holiday dinner experience. They were warm, engaging, and accommodating in every way. They paced the food perfectly and explained everything to the group, making it a very memorable experience. And last but not least, the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend them!!

That was a first experience for a birthday gift to my son in Singapore, he was impressed ! rate 5/5 - really great experience! i will surely renew for my 3 years old grandson as well: he loved the idea of a chief with a hat @ home !!!! impressive is that, it was a very short notice reservation (less than 24hours), but Chef Ida made it beyond expectations ! Thanks so much ! Omah

My husband and I were blown away by the flavourful dishes! Chef Idah is truly remarkable - food packed with distinct flavors for each course and beautiful plating. The kitchen was also in a clean and tidy state when the chef left. We are grateful for the unforgettable anniversary dinner!

Chef Idah...where to begin with the greatness of yesterday evening!! From the off, she was extremely communicative and friendly via messaging. Her menu was impressive with plenty of options. She arrived promptly with her supplies and wonderful plates. The evening was down to a science, with the timing, her cooking, picturesque plating and the delectable flavors and quality of her dishes. Extreme friendliness and scintillating conversation made my wife and I feel like we've known her for years. We had a joyous private, anniversary dinner and would highly recommend Chef Idah for all wanting top-notch dining for any event!
