“Devanjali catered food for my mehndi night this past August and made it a success. Prior to the event, she got together with me to go over the menu. I gave her general guidelines and left the detailed planning to her. She surpassed every expectation I had of her. It wasn’t just the food that was impressive, but the presentation and execution were faultless. Devanjali came early to set up the food with her own equipment and then stayed behind to keep it warm and serve guests. She served a variety of bite sized food items which were perfect for the purpose of the party. She served vegetarian “frankies” (party favorite), badam milk in tiny shot glasses, papdi chaat in small bowls with yogurt, pao bhaji with tiny naans and homemade jalebis. Her food was appreciated by all guests and several came up to me during the party to commend it. After the wedding the next day, my family and I came home and gorged on the leftovers and they tasted even better the next day.She was the consummate professional throughout the process and made the entire event stress free for me. I whole heartedly recommend hiring Devanjali’s services for your next event!” - A.S, Chicago

“We were introduced to Devanjali through a friend of a friend and we recently utilized her professional chef services when my wife and I hosted a small dinner party at home. We wanted to do something unique, rather than the ol’ same –takeout/delivery. Devanjali worked with us a week in advance via email and text in developing a menu to our taste and budget, while also making some great recommendations along the way. On the day of, she arrived with all required groceries and food prep items. Over the next 3-4 hours she prepared a gourmet meal from scratch including Tom Kha Kai soup, Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce, Chopped Chicken Salad and Thai Green Curry Fish with Rice. One of our guests got dessert and sadly we missed out on her delicious Coconut Ice Cream and Coconut Rice with Mango Puree that she had also recommended. What what was amazing was that she cleaned up and left the kitchen spotless before our guests arrived. All we had to was heat the food when it was time to eat. Our guests loved their meal and wondered what restaurant we ordered from! We can’t recommend Devanjali enough and look forward to another curated meal in the future.”

“Dee was monumental in making my Parisian baby shower a truly memorable affair! From crafting menu ideas to execution on the day of - she gave her 150 percent every step of the way! She was very creative and professional in her approach. She arrived at our first meeting with a well thought out list of ideas and pictures, based on the event details I had provided. She was thorough and systematic in her approach, ensuring we never went over budget and all the dishes were carefully planned to accommodate my preferences and changing guest list. On the day of the event, she arrived early to plate and help setup the food at the venue. Her french spread consisting of carefully crafted sandwiches, bite sized quiches and delicious deviled eggs, which was one of the highlights of the occasion! My shower would not have been what it was without her efforts and talent. Thank you, Dee!”

I first came across Devanjali’s website while looking to host a get-together for my husband’s birthday. She absolutely exceeded expectations for what we wanted. Her energy was contagious! She was creative with her menu and gave us tons of options to choose from. The best part was that the food was super delicious and wonderfully healthy. The event was such a hit that I decided to have her prepare weekly meals for my husband and I. We opted for a full meal service option and don’t have to worry about food anymore. I feel like we are eating restaurant-style food everyday and have almost stopped ordering from outside. Definitely recommend her!

I recently hired Devanjali to cater a BBQ - the food was amazing and the service was exceptional. If you are hosting a small family gathering and would like to enjoy your time with your guests and not in the kitchen, she is wonderful!

I hired Devanjali as a private chef for my fiance’s birthday. She cooked us breakfast. This was an amazing experience and made my fiance’s birthday a success! The aroma of our home while she cooked had our mouths watering. Devanjali served us with GREAT hospitality. She made sure everything was to our liking. My favorite part of her dish was the sweet potato hash browns, they were bursting with flavor. We had some left over that barely made it to the next day.

We are so glad we found Chef Devanjali! She has been very accommodating to all of our requests about food restrictions and she has a large variety of delicious meal options! She is very passionate about cooking, is mindful of the ingredients she uses, and always includes us in the process. Her meal prep service has been exactly what we needed as a busy couple. We look forward to her outstanding dishes every week!

Devanjali has been a lifesaver for our family during the pandemic! With two young daughters at home, we were sick and tired of pizza or chicken nuggets for dinner. When COVID hit, we started looking for innovative, personalized, healthy meal delivery options to not only break up the routine, but also to give us a break from cooking. We tried a number of meal delivery options over the past couple of years, but Devanjali has by far been the best! Ordering is a breeze: we get a menu each week with a handful of options, but everything is customizable if we want to substitute proteins, or mix and match recipes and side dishes. Devanjali’s cooking is excellent, the ingredients are fresh and high quality, and everything comes packaged nicely with very clear heating instructions. Dinner is ready in 5-10 minutes each night, and the girls are excited to try out new flavors like Chicken Tikka Masala or Mongolian Beef. We would highly recommend Devanjali for anyone, but especially weary parents trying to make dinner a little more interesting and a LOT easier!

Devanjali has been preparing meals for my family for the past year. I first discovered Devanjali’s business while searching online for help as i transitioned from my job as a speech therapist to s stay at home mother to raise two kids. It was very easy to contact Devanjali via her website and she immediately was able to begin prepping meals for my family. She always took into consideration my dietary requests and dislikes when creating menus for me. She would respond in a timely and professional manner. Not only were her meals delicious but they were tailored to my family’s needs to perfection. Most importantly, she always asked for feedback and applied the suggestions to the following orders.
