Why book through myCHEF
Finding a chef in Dubai is easy. Knowing who you are letting into your home is harder.
myCHEF was built by people who have run kitchens and floors. Every chef is chosen against one standard, then scored by the homes and events they cook in, month after month, for as long as they work with us. One person looks after you from your first message to the last plate.
Vetted and background-checked
Every chef is checked before they cook for a myCHEF client.
Food-safety credentials, checked before anyone cooks
We see the certificate before anyone cooks in your kitchen.
One person, start to finish
The same person from your first message to the moment your chef leaves the kitchen.
Reply within 15 minutes in business hours, 9am to 9pm
Then a vetted chef and a tailored proposal.
How It Works
Tell us the job. We build the menu, the chef and the service around it.
A household chef or event catering in Dubai, from the first message to the kitchen left clean.
Step 1: Tell us the job
Household rhythm or one event, guest count, the address, and how you like to eat. Form or WhatsApp.
Step 2: We match a chef and send a written plan
The menu is shaped around your tastes and your guests. Then we choose the chef whose cooking fits it.
Step 3: They cook in your kitchen
Food is cooked in the kitchen you already have, with the service sized to the night or the week.
Step 4: You stay with your people. We leave it handled.
Guests or family are looked after, and the kitchen is left as we found it.
The price is agreed in your proposal, before the day.
