Uhm, you know those days when you invite your girlies and try (emphasis on try) to make dinner, but it turns out to be a total flop?
Been there, done that. We’re definitely not made for the kitchen. That’s why for most days when you’re trying to level up your dinner game, you need someone experienced for a lack of a better word.
That’s why we’ve done the research for ya bby. From chefs who can whisk the perfect blend of seasonings, and oh, don’t get me started with the most scrumptious and juiciest plates, these are the best home and private chefs you’ll find in Dubai.

Why we ❤️ her dishes: If you planned a yacht dinner party, Chef Bayma is the one you need to call. Aside from her day job (founder of an F&B consultancy, wow), you can also go ultra-personalised with her personal booking — she can never go wrong with the flavours!

@chef_jamila__
Why we ❤️ her dishes: Have you really explored the region’s culinary scene? Properly? Well, Chef Jamila has a thing or two (actually many) things to share about the food fine dining culture. And trust us when we say, you will never ask for another person when you’ve tried the Veggie mousse in toasted milk bread or the seeped steak with potatoes (we’re already grumbling for a taste.)

@golets.polina
Why we ❤️ her dishes: There’s no lying when we say we found the It-chef. All the way from Ukraine to Dubai, Chef Polina can make the meanest green crisp salad. And I know you’ve probably eaten poached eggs dozens of times, but Chef Polina, the genius that she is, knows the *real* secret behind the recipe.
