Private Chef for Eid Feasts
in Dubai.
Eid with the family at the table, not in the kitchen. A private chef cooks harees, machboos, ouzi and luqaimat for your gathering and clears up after the guests.

What a private chef does for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Both Eids are days of open doors: family arrives after the Eid prayer, relatives and neighbours drop in through the day, and the host is expected to keep the table full. A private chef takes the cooking off the family. They agree the menu with you in the app chat, cook in your kitchen, serve and clean up, so you can greet your guests in Dubai instead of watching the pots.
Eid in the Emirates has its own dishes: harees, the slow-cooked wheat and meat dish no Eid table goes without, machboos with lamb or chicken, thareed, and ouzi, a whole lamb on spiced rice, for a large gathering. The morning starts with balaleet and khabees, Arabic coffee and dates, and luqaimat close the meal. Agree the dishes and quantities with the chef in chat for your guest count.
Eid dates follow the Hijri calendar and are confirmed by the moon sighting, so the exact day is known late, and every family wants a chef on the same few days. Message chefs as soon as the expected date is announced, agree the first and second day in chat if you host twice, and say whether the meal is an Eid breakfast after prayer, a lunch or an evening feast. For Eid al-Adha, if you have meat from your own sacrifice (udhiyah) that you want cooked, ask the chef in chat before you book.

Everything about booking a private chef for Eid in Dubai.
What is served for Eid in the UAE?+
Harees, machboos and thareed, ouzi for a large gathering, balaleet and khabees for the Eid breakfast, and Arabic coffee, dates and luqaimat. Tell the chef your family’s dishes in chat.
How far ahead should I book a chef for Eid in Dubai?+
As soon as the expected Eid date is announced, and earlier for a large gathering. The day is only confirmed by the moon sighting, so before you book, ask the chef in chat whether they are free on both possible days.
Can the chef cook a whole lamb?+
Many Eid gatherings centre on a whole lamb or large trays of rice and meat. Ask the chef in chat whether they can cook a whole or half lamb in your kitchen or need an outdoor setup, and give them the guest count so the quantities are right.
Can I cancel an Eid booking?+
Yes. Cancel 7 or more days before the event and you get a 100% refund, including the service fee. Inside 7 days the booking is non-refundable. If you cancel within 10 minutes of paying, you are refunded in full whatever the date, and if the chef cancels, you are refunded in full automatically and we help you find another chef.
Can the chef cook for a large family gathering?+
Yes. An Eid table is usually shared dishes on large trays, which suits a big group. Tell the chef the number of guests, whether you host in separate majlis rooms, and how many waves of visitors you expect through the day, and they will plan the quantities and timing.
