Voor ons 25-jarig boekenclub jubileumdiner zochten we iets bijzonders en Jyoti heeft al onze verwachtingen overtroffen. Ze heeft een geweldig Caribisch diner voor 8 personen voor ons bereid en vanaf het allereerste moment merk je dat je volledig wordt ontzorgd.
De communicatie vooraf liep ook vlot en makkelijk. Tijdens de avond zelf vormde Jyoti met haar hulpje een perfect geolied team. Ze werken rustig, maar tegelijkertijd voortvarend en efficiënt.
Het eten was verrukkelijk, de sfeer top en als kers op de taart was alles bij vertrek perfect schoon en opgeruimd.
Een absolute aanrader voor wie onbezorgd wil genieten van culinaire hoogstandjes! Bedankt Jyoti en rechterhand!

Chef Jyoti not only provided exceptional food but also provided an exceptional overall experience. Communicating with Jyoti was quick and easy, she responded to my queries quickly and answered all of my questions in full. She arrived on time and got to work very quickly. She provided a beautiful table setting which included flowers and candles as well as printed menu cards. We had four fantanstic courses which included delicious oysters, champagne and cocktails. Jyoti was highly efficient and left our kitchen in sparkling condition after all of the courses had been served. I would highly recommend Jyoti for any occasion and Im look forward to working with her again.
