A family dinner where no one cooks and no one clears. Your chef feeds the whole table — generous, personal, exactly what the family wants.
Private chef · Sakaka
Family dinners are logistically complicated: different ages, dietary needs, preferences, children who will eat one thing, grandparents with restrictions, a host who ends up in the kitchen for three hours and arrives at the table exhausted. A private chef solves all of this and adds something the best family cooks rarely manage — a level of execution and quantity that doesn't come at the cost of anyone's evening.
Family dinner formats in Dubai typically run as a generous shared feast rather than a plated tasting menu. Your chef prepares a spread — a proper selection of starters, two or three mains that accommodate the range of tastes at the table, sides, and a dessert that doesn't come in individual portions from a box. Everyone eats well; no one was standing at the stove when the guests arrived.
The chef handles dietary needs across the table. Children's portions, vegetarian guests, anyone avoiding gluten or dairy — give your chef the full picture in your booking notes and they'll plan every course to cover it.
Real experiences
Hosted a big family lunch and didn't lift a finger. The kids had their own menu, my mother actually sat down to eat for once, and the kitchen was spotless after.
We booked Chef Hassan for our National Day gathering, 35 guests in the garden. He turned up with everything, cooked a full Saudi spread, and the kabsa honestly tasted like my grandmother made it. Three of my aunts asked for his number before dessert.
I was nervous about hosting my wife's family for the first time. The chef walked me through the menu over chat, showed up early, and left my kitchen cleaner than he found it. I just had to sit and enjoy being a guest at my own table.
