Service: Private chef meal preparation and delivery
I hired Narella as a private chef for about a month and a half, and I still take her services every once in a while. She delivered the food to me, communication was very good, she responded very quick and everything was on time. The food and service were very good, and she is definitely very kind and very professional. Price felt reasonable.

Service: Custom cakes and desserts delivery service with dietary accommodations
I have used her just personally for having her create cakes and desserts for me. She has been extremely professional, always delivered everything on time if not early, and she’s willing to bring it to my house which makes my life a lot easier - she’ll always drop it off. Her food is excellent, and she always inquires about intolerances or anything she should be aware of and can accommodate that. I saw her catering menu with a large variety of options, and she was willing to try and find other things including more savory items; a bit expensive but it’s a very high-quality product.

Service: Catering services with a focus on international and diverse cuisines
I’ve been to multiple events where Amber was catering, and she’s super versatile with a really high level of international kitchen - I’ve had authentic-tasting Indonesian dishes and she easily accommodated vegetarian and vegan, with some meat when requested. The food looked amazing too; the first time I honestly didn’t believe she made those cookies herself, but she did, she’s got her stuff on lock, and she’s been very prompt and professional. We had an event that got postponed, but communication with her was fine and clear, and she’s been super responsive about allergies and very specific food questions. From what I’ve seen in smaller pop-up settings she’s on my shortlist, and the pricing she shared felt fair and honestly cheaper than most for the quality and high-quality ingredients, though I can’t speak to very large-scale catering.
