We work with a lot of extraordinary folks to connect them with memorable culinary experiences.

Last night the guest list for With The Chef consisted of a table with...to say the least... a sizable net worth.

We had an inquiry from an individual to curate an experience for his high profile clients.

Our goal is to offer every single guest an equally unique and memorable dining experience. You are all VIPs to us!

What impacted us about this review about last night is the part that says, "...they have been literally to all the nice places but nothing like last night. It was very special."

We don't doubt that these guests have crossed this globe many times over and experienced things that only a few people can say that they have.

We are confident and have heard that without a doubt, With The Chef is a multi-sensory dining experience not to be missed. And this review attests to that fact!

Here's the review from last night!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I would like to express my appreciation to you for planning the special night and a huge thanks to Chef Vikram for being such an amazing - top notch host. Our guests lovedddddddd the experience, and they have been literally all the nice places but nothing like last night. It was very special. Matt and all the guests couldn’t stop talking about it. I never had any doubt

Thank you again, Lise and With The Chef"

✨ Unforgettable Mother's Day Surprise! 🌸✨

Our guests tonight were in for the surprise of a lifetime! They arrived expecting to be part of a group of fifty, but little did they know, they were about to embark on an extraordinary journey with the celebrity Chef Vikram himself!

To kick off this magical evening, Chef Vikram personally took them on a private tour of his renowned restaurant and kitchen, My Shanti.

But that was just the beginning! As they settled into their seats, they had no idea they were about to embark on a culinary adventure that would transport them all across India, tantalizing their taste buds with flavours from every corner of the country.

Chef Vikram, a true storyteller, wove mesmerizing tales of his travels and gastronomic discoveries throughout the meal. From the vibrant streets of Delhi to the serene backwaters of Kerala, every bite was infused with the essence of his incredible journeys.

And here's the best part: it wasn't just about the food. Our guests had the rare opportunity to ask Chef Vikram anything they wanted! Over dessert and chai, he graciously shared stories from his time on Dragon's Den, his adventures on the Food Network, and his favorite places to explore around the globe. It was an intimate conversation with a culinary icon!

🚫 Now, let us clear up any confusion - this experience is exclusively for you and your dinner date(s). No large crowds or fifty-person tables here! This is an intimate affair, created with your enjoyment and delight in mind.
