Amazing chef. Very flexible and worked with me with last minute changes. Food is amazing highly recommend!

Hakim was wonderful! He brought his daughter to help him as well, and they were very pleasant to have over. The food was sooooooo good! I could tell from the getgo when he presented his menu options that he had a lot of really interesting dishes I hadn't had before, plus some familiar ones. We got a blend of new and familiar items, and were very happy with our choices! Plus, he did it all gluten free for my gluten-intolerant wife! Amazing experience, and Chef Hakim is highly recommended!

Chef Hakim was very professional and his food was delicious!! Would highly recommend Chef Hakim!! 5 Star ... all the way around!!

The chefs were thoughtful, fun, and delivered a wonderful experience with amazing food. Couldn’t get enough of the filet mignon and sauces they made for everything. We were all so full and yet so grateful for the leftovers. Would recommend!

Chef Hakim made our Christmas Eve dinner absolutely unforgettable. The food was incredible—every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully plated, and perfectly cooked. He put together a menu that impressed everyone, from the foodies to the picky eaters, and had us all raving about it long after the meal. What really stood out, though, was Chef Hakim’s professionalism. He treated our kitchen with care, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless. If you’re looking for a private chef who can deliver not just fantastic food but a seamless experience, Chef Hakim is the one. He turned our holiday celebration into something truly special, and we’re already looking forward to the next event with him.

The food and service was amazing I would definitely get him again!

The take a chef experience was great from start to finish being able to view proposals and communicate directly with the chef and once I made a choice Chef Hakim Austin took the time to walk me through a menu and expressed concerns for any allergies and special dietary needs and accommodated accordingly. Our guest enjoyed the experience, and the chef interacted with the guest as they inquired about the meal being prepared. A great time and experience.

Amazing amazing amazing amazing I would hire him everyday if I could

We would Definately do this again. Our chef team was amazing. Food was incredible. Lots of food so no one went hungry.

Chef Hakim and staff were amazing! They arrived with everything necessary, cooked an amazing meal and served us from appetizers to dessert. Everything was made from scratch and absolutely delicious!! They also cleaned up everything completely and stowed all of the leftovers in the fridge as well. Very personable and extremely engaging with our group of 20. You will not be disappointed and we will be definitely having them again!

I set up a surprise birthday dinner for my best friend who lives on the other side of the country and Chef Hakim did not disappoint! While I didn’t get to taste his food, my best friend informed me he was incredibly thoughtful, had great vibes, was so nice, and cooked delicious food! He was great to communicate with and incredibly responsive to all of my questions and inquiries. I’m so glad I could set this up and wouldn’t hesitate to hire Chef Hakim to come back for another dinner!

Chef Hak and his daughter were great! Food was delish and Chef was so nice and pleasant.

Hakin was awesome! Food was delicious and it was an amazing evening!

Chef Hakim and his sous-chef (daughter) were a superb team who delivered exactly what was promised. The meal was fabulous and well presented. We have already highly recommended this service to our friends and will continue to do so!

Menu proposal was perfect and meal was fantastic, would definitely recommend.

Great to work with - food was amazing!

The event was so over and above what we expected. I don't know how Chef stays so humble as such an incredible talent. The joy and love he put into his food was tasted in each and every bite. Thank you again, Chef Hakim, for such a memorable experience.

It was such a great vibe. Would recommend them for any occasion. Love their punctuality and professionalism. 10 stars for sure

Chef Hak was incredible! 10/10.

I hired as a birthday gift for my sister. She was pleased to tears. I highly recommend and plan on hiring again when I make my next trip to Florida
