Private Chef & Catering Services in Los Angeles

Private Chef & Dining

“Where I come from, no one leaves the table hungry, and no one leaves feeling like a stranger.”

When I come into your home, I want it to feel less like hiring a chef and more like having a friend who loves to cook take care of everyone. We’ll talk about the occasion, who’s coming and what you love to eat — then I’ll build a menu just for you, adventurous or classic. Whether it’s dinner for two or a party for forty, I handle the menu, staffing, shopping, cooking and service. All you have to do is sit down and enjoy the people you love.

Ideal for: a quiet dinner for two, a full table of friends and family, birthdays, anniversaries and holidays

Statement grazing table for a corporate event

Corporate Events

Some of the best ideas and strongest connections happen over food. My team and I bring that warmth to gatherings of every size — from family-style dinners for teams of 16 to a full bar, grazing table and bite-size menu for more than 110 guests.

We choose the format that fits: abundant grazing tables, elegant passed bites or generous family-style spreads. We coordinate rentals, and I design custom bar menus — like a saffron or rose-infused spritz — served with licensed bartending partners.

Ideal for: executive dinners, client celebrations, team offsites, launches, holiday parties

Retreats & Destination Events

There’s something special about cooking for a group over several days. By the second morning, the table becomes the place everyone looks forward to. Cooking outdoors is one of my greatest joys — a whole lamb turning slowly over open fire, kabobs on the grill, and a long table under the sky.

My team and I travel nationwide to plan full menus from breakfast through dinner, sourcing from local farms and blending those ingredients with the Persian flavors I grew up with — with varied menus day to day and careful planning around every dietary need.

Ideal for: wellness retreats, leadership summits, creative residencies, outdoor gatherings, destination celebrations

Intimate Weddings & Rehearsal Dinners

A wedding is one of the few times everyone you love is in one place, and the food should feel just as meaningful. In my culture, weddings are measured by the generosity of the table — no one leaves hungry, and every dish carries a little celebration.

We’ll talk about your story and the flavors that mean something to you: a traditional Persian spread with jeweled rice and saffron sweets, a blend of both families’ cuisines, or a modern menu with touches of home. From a candlelit dinner for twenty to a celebration under the stars.

Ideal for: intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, welcome dinners, engagement celebrations, post-wedding brunches

Brand Collaborations & Recipe Development

Food is one of the most powerful ways to tell a story, and I love helping brands tell theirs. I develop original recipes, create dishes for photo and video shoots, host cooking segments, and cater launches and brand events.

I’ve cooked live on Manoto TV, created cooking lesson videos for the Farhang Foundation, and catered the full experience for two YouTube creator launch events — from a custom menu and drinks to a statement grazing table.

Ideal for: food and beverage brands, product launches, content creators, media and TV, cultural organizations

Restaurant Menu Consultation

A great menu tells guests who you are before they take a single bite. I work with restaurants, cafés and food businesses to introduce Persian or Persian-inspired dishes, refresh an existing menu, or develop new signatures and specials.

That includes recipe development, menu writing, tasting sessions and recipes your team can execute consistently. As someone who has run a food business, I understand the balance between creativity, consistency and cost.

Ideal for: restaurants, cafés, hotels, pop-ups, new concepts, menu refreshes
