A generous iftar at your table. Your chef prepares the full spread — dates, soups, meze, mains — so the evening belongs to the gathering, not the kitchen.
Private chef · Abu Dhabi
Ramadan iftar is not a dinner — it is a ritual that starts with dates and water, moves through a soup course, opens into a full spread of salads and meze, and then builds to the main meal. Getting all of it right, for a table of family and guests, while fasting through the day, is a significant undertaking. A private chef handles the preparation and lets you be present for the moment.
Iftar private chef spreads in Dubai are typically generous and abundant: harira or lentil soup to open, a full meze of traditional dishes, a main course of slow-cooked lamb, stuffed dishes, or rice-centred preparations, and Arabic sweets for dessert — qatayef, konafa, umm ali. Your chef will ask about the family's regional background and preferences. A Lebanese iftar is different from a Khaleeji one; a Syrian chef brings different reference points than an Egyptian one.
The timing is fixed by the call to prayer. Your chef arrives early, manages the preparation through the day (most iftar chefs are experienced with Ramadan schedules and understand the logistics), and has everything ready for the exact moment of iftar.
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 had clients flying in from Singapore and needed something that would land. Chef Andrea did a six-course tasting menu on our terrace overlooking the marina. One of the guests said it beat the Michelin place they'd been to the night before.
Booked a live grill station for my son's graduation. The chef cooked in front of everyone, the kids were mesmerised, and I didn't touch a single pan all evening. Worth every dirham.
