Chef Khalil Omar was exceptional. We could not have asked for a better experience. He was punctual professional and informative. The food quality and presentation was outstanding. He described each plate a he brought it to our table. He gave us an experience well beyond our expectations. All that and he cleaned up after so you didnt even know he had been here (at our home). Thanks Chef Khalil.

Chef was attentive and easy to communicate with. The meal was fantastic and so tasty! I would highly recommwnd this chef and service again.

Chef Khalil provided us with a wonderful dinner that looked and tasted amazing. We communicated in advance and came up with a meal that we all truly enjoyed. We especially loved that the dishes were done when we were all finished. We would hire him again and will recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable experience. Thanks Chef for a great meal, and wine suggestions.

I planned a surprise dinner for my husband birthday. We had a hiccup in reserving due an error on my part- long story short, I gave Khalil very limited time to prepare our dinner. He went above and beyond! The dinner was amazing. Extremely attentive to detail and presentation. All our courses were delicious. You can see cooking is Khalil’s true passion and it comes out in the taste. I’m so happy with our experience. Khalil comes highly recommended from us! Thank you Khalil!

An excellent meal with great service!

Great experience and loved the ease of service using Take A Chef. The Chef we booked was super lovely and his food was excellent. The only negative feedback I would give is the main course portion size should have been larger.
