Chef Melissa Mehra

I hired Chef Melissa for a private dinner during a friend’s bachelorette trip and could not have had a better experience. Upon booking, she was in close communication to coordinate logistics and menu selection, taking into account our desired theme and dietary restrictions. She came up with the perfect menu for our luau night that was both innovative and delicious. From the presentation to the taste, everyone was completely blown away. Cherry on top was her and her team doing a full clean up afterwards, we truly didn’t have to lift a finger. I couldn’t recommend Chef Melissa enough and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Melissa and her team were wonderful! The service, the food, the presentation, the prep and cleaning and communication were all fantastic. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.

She was amazing, the food was sophisticated yet well portioned and brought you through an experience.

Amazing experience with Melissa! Above and beyond with the communication, presentation, taste and clean up. Very professional and enjoyable, highly recommend.

Melissa was amazing! We will definitely hire her again, she made the best potatoes I’ve ever had. Even with our airbnb having a broken oven, she overcame and still made an incredible brunch for us. Thank you Melissa and her crew!

Chef Melissa and team were on time, responsive, professional and provided a tasty meal and lovely experience. She was able to accommodate some last minute changes which we are very grateful for. I would hire this chef again without hesitation.

Her communication leading up to the event was excellent—she was organized, responsive, and made planning effortless. She clearly outlined her arrival time, worked with us to thoughtfully plan the menu, and made sure every detail was covered well in advance. The meal itself was outstanding. The sea bass was perfectly cooked—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The prosciutto-wrapped dates were a huge hit and disappeared quickly, and the blood orange crème brûlée was an incredible dessert to finish the evening. Every dish was executed with great care and tasted amazing. On top of the incredible food, Chef Melissa left the kitchen spotless, which we really appreciated. The entire experience was seamless, delicious, and stress-free. I would highly recommend her and would gladly book her again for future events.

Melissa catered a dinner for us at our rental, and it was truly a highlight of our trip. The menu was creative and beautifully executed, showcasing fresh, local ingredients - including eggs from her own hens. Beyond the food, we really enjoyed engaging with Melissa. She was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. She and her team were incredibly professional throughout the evening, handling everything seamlessly and allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the experience.

Chef Melissa is very talented and designed a beautiful dinner. She was communicative before, flexible to work with and presented delicious courses that exceeded our expectations. The entire evening was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend.

Chef Melissa was great start to finish! Would highly recommend!

Melissa and Emily were incredible! We never hired a professional chief before and they exceeded our expectations and experience with it all. We will definitely be booking again in the future. I can’t express what a lovely experience it all was. Simply loved every bit of it. Thank you all so very much for making my son’s birthday dinner a chief’s kiss!

I cannot recommend Chef Melissa highly enough! From the very first bite to the final course, she delivered an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. Sorbet & arancini were so good! Melissa and her team were so friendly & professionally.

Melissa was 5-STAR! Her food was insanely flavorful and delicious. Appreciate her accommodating dietary preferences for some at our table as well. She was definitely born for this role! We had a dinner for 6 and the execution was perfect. Everything flowed and the presentation was magic. Would definitely book her again!

The best chef ever

Melissa and her sous chef were incredible! The food was delicious, prepared with great artistry and attention to every detail was evident in all five courses. My two guests and I really appreciated the entire experience. The kitchen was cleaned to perfection before they left the house, a tremendous bonus!

I recently hired Chef Melissa through Take a Chef for Thanksgiving dinner, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the start, she was collaborative and flexible, working with me to create a holiday plan that fit our needs. The meal itself was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and every detail was handled flawlessly. Serving and cleanup were completely taken care of, so I didn’t have to do a thing. Chef Melissa’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made our holiday stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef!

Chef Melissa and her assistant were incredible! She created such a special meal and experience for our girls getaway. The presentation of everything was so impressive. Hope to hire her again soon!

Chef Melissa and her assistant were incredibly clean and efficient and served a delicious meal for 12 adults and 2 children, accounting for several food sensitivities without anyone feeling deprived. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.

Chef Melissa provided a fantastic, fun experience for us! She communicated well, worked with us on designing a menu that accommodated diet restrictions and provided an attentive, yet discreet service that allowed us to relax while the gourmet meal was prepared! The food was delicious and the portions were generous!

Melissa and her assistant did an amazing job with our dinner. Her communication was great leading up to the dinner. Each dish was beautiful but even better the food was delicious. Our group had so much fun!
