A private chef for your dinner party in Barcelona. A menu designed for the occasion, cooked and served in your own space.
Dinner Party · Barcelona
Dinner Party in a restaurant means sharing the space, the noise, and the schedule with everyone else. A private chef inverts all of it: the occasion stays private, the menu is designed for you specifically, and the evening runs at the pace you want.
Your chef plans the menu with you in advance, shops for the ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course, and clears up before leaving. You discuss every detail — cuisine, dietary requirements, the number of courses, specific dishes — in direct chat before anything is confirmed.
The difference between a good private dinner and a great one is almost always in the brief. The more specifically you tell your chef what the occasion means, the better they can build something that fits it precisely.

A deeply comforting fusion passed down through generations, celebrating the rich historical tapestry of our extended family gatherings. Rooted in the ancient heritage of the Parsi community—Zoroastrians who migrated from Persia to Gujarat—this dish represents a centuries-old culinary marriage. Its name combines the Gujarati words dhan (grain/lentils) and shak (vegetables). Adopted warmly into Anglo-Indian households during the 19th century, our family recipe features tender, slow-simmered Lamb embedded in a thick, velvety puree of four distinct lentils, pumpkin, and aubergine. The trademark khatu-mithu (sweet and sour) flavor profile shines through a complex balance of tangy tamarind and a hint of sweet jaggery. Gently elevated with warming spices rather than aggressive fire, this wholesome stew is traditionally served over a bed of rice.

A spectacular, light-filled delicacy inspired by the rich coastal waters of the Bay of Bengal, representing the refined elegance of our family’s festive tables. Rooted in the stunning maritime culinary traditions of Bengal and the Konkan coast, this dish is a beautiful testament to the way Anglo-Indian kitchens masterfully softened intense spices with the cooling luxury of local ingredients.

A spectacular labor of love that elevates the simple meal into an indulgent feast, bringing a beautiful, multi-layered crunch to the family dinner table. Originating in the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent—where its name stems from the combination of parat (layers) and atta (dough)—the paratha became a beloved staple across Anglo-Indian households. Our version is crafted using traditional methods, where the dough is carefully rolled, layered with clarified butter (ghee), folded like a paper fan, and coiled before its final roll. Cooked on a screaming-hot iron tawa, it puffs up brilliantly to create dozens of paper-thin, flaky layers that are beautifully crisp on the outside while remaining soft and pillowy within. Rich, buttery, and utterly irresistible, it is the ultimate edible utensil designed perfectly for tearing apart and scooping up thick gravies like our Anglo-Indian Ball Curry or rich Vindaloo.

My father's mother's favourite, captivating journey through time, bridging my family's heritage with the sun-drenched coasts of Goa where East gracefully met West. A masterful evolution of the 15th-century Portuguese carne de vinha d'alhos, this authentic masterpiece honors tradition by steering clear of the British curry house heat-challenge cliché. Instead, tender pork is slow-simmered in a deeply complex, aromatic gravy fueled by a sharp, tangy infusion of local palm vinegar and garlic. Layered with black peppercorns, tamarind, and vibrant chili peppers, it delivers a sophisticated balance of tartness and warmth rather than pure burning heat. True to its coastal roots—and despite the common misconception—this traditional recipe features no potatoes (aloo), offering instead a pure, robust depth best enjoyed with fluffy basmati rice or warm paratha.

A luxurious family favorite that was always reserved for special celebrations, showcasing the elegant, milder side of our heritage kitchen. Tracing its roots back to the magnificent royal courts of the Mughal Empire, the word korma is derived from the Urdu word for "braise".

A vibrant, globally celebrated masterpiece born from rustic clay ovens and lovingly embraced as a cornerstone of our family’s grilling traditions. Tracing its historic roots back to the ancient culinary traditions of the Punjab region, the word tikka translates to "bits" or "pieces"—referring to succulent morsels of boneless chicken. Our heritage recipe features tender pieces of chicken breast deeply marinated in a rich mixture of thick hung yogurt, fresh ginger, crushed garlic, and a bright splash of lemon juice. Infused with a spectacular blend of smoky paprika, toasted cumin, and aromatic garam masala, the meat is skewered and grilled at intense heat to achieve a beautifully charred, smoky exterior while locking in a wonderfully juicy interior. Exploding with a stunning crimson hue and rustic depth, this smoky delight is best served roaring hot with fresh lime wedges, crisp red onion rings, and a dollop of our cooling Signature Raita.
