Chef cancelled on our event five days before (Monday cancel and dinner party was Saturday)! Said she had to travel without further explanation. She offered to reschedule but we had this Christmas event for 15 people on everyone’s calendar for weeks! We can’t casually upend everyone’s plans and reschedule during the holiday season. Really disappointed and angered by this. Extremely unprofessional.

We had an amazing dinner with chef Hazal! Every single course was delicious, she was on time, brought all ingredients, and cleaned everything up - all for a great value. Was able to work with dietary (gluten allergy) restrictions. 10/10 would recommend Hazal for future events if you want an enjoyable, delicious Miami dinner!
An Unforgettable Culinary Experience at Home I had the absolute pleasure of hosting an extraordinary dinner prepared by a truly exceptional chef in the comfort of my own home. From the moment the first course was served, it was clear we were in for a special evening. The menu was thoughtfully curated, showcasing seasonal ingredients, bold flavors, and artistic presentation. Each dish struck the perfect balance between creativity and comfort—familiar enough to be satisfying, yet inventive enough to surprise and delight. Beyond the food, the chef’s professionalism and warmth elevated the experience, It felt less like a catered event and more like an intimate dinner party with a culinary artist at the helm. If you’re looking to turn a dinner at home into a five-star restaurant experience, I cannot recommend chef Hazal gulden highly enough. Every bite was a reminder that food, when done right, is truly an art form.
Had the best experience with Chef Hazal for my friend’s bachelorette party! From start to finish, she was amazing—super punctual, friendly, and professional. Her menu options were great, and she worked with us to create the perfect taco station, with everything from tofu to birria tacos (and they were all so good!). The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and service she provided. She also made sure everything was spotless before she left, which we really appreciated. If you’re looking for a private chef who’s talented, organized, and a joy to work with, Hazal is the one! Highly recommend!
Chef Hazal was incredible. She did it all and more for a group of 10. The food, the service and the vibe was incredible. Highly highly recommend her.
We fell in love with Hazel! She was amazing and her dishes were too!!
She was on time! Very knowledgable about how I wanted the menu cooked and serviced. Left the kitchen spotless. Very easy to communicate with her through the entire process.
Chef Hazal was the absolute best, she was very clear and communicative. We had a few last minutes changes and hiccups on our end and she worked with us, made adjustments, and delivered an amazing meal and experience. Our menu featured: Starters: Babaganus, Tzaziki, and Hummus with Freshly made Pita Chips Appetizer: Spinach artichoke mini lasagna bites Salad: Aragula salad with Citrus dressing and cranberries Main course: Tender steak with mash potato and garlic butter sauce Dessert: Crem brulee
Chef Hazal, in one word, WOW! Chef helped us create an eclectic menu to meet the palate of both adults and kids. From menu planning, to her cooking, serving and leaving the kitchen cleaner than she found it, WOW is really an understatement. Each dish was presented beautifully and tasted so good. This was a VERY special evening. We are already talkimg about our next event with Chef Hazal. Thank you, chef. ❤️
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Chef Hazal for a family gathering of 7 and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The appetizers were a hit, particularly the Brie and fig jam crostini and the stuffed mushrooms with cheese and herbs. The mini Italian meatballs were also a great touch. The arugula salad with goat cheese was fresh and delicious. Our main course was the star of the show, with the tender steak with garlic butter sauce, mashed potatoes and asparagus receiving rave reviews from everyone. Chef Hazal was also able to accommodate one of our guests who couldn't eat steak, by preparing a delicious salmon dish that was equally enjoyed. And to finish off, the creme brulee was the perfect end to a perfect meal. The presentation of the dishes was stunning and Chef was a true professional, arriving on time and cleaning up after herself. I highly recommend Chef Hazal for any occasion, big or small. She truly made the evening a memorable one for my family and I.
