Thank you to BYO Chef for helping me celebrate my birthday on 9/26/2020. Our catered meal for 18 people was delicious. We started with a mango pineapple salsa, chips and Hawaiian...
meatballs. Both were homemade and delicious. The meatballs were huge and tasted so good. My guests were speaking about them even after the party. They also prepared beef and chicken kabobs. The meat was seasoned nicely and tender. It was served with white rice topped with teriyaki sauce that was flavorful with just a little touch of spice as well as seasoned veggies.
BYO Chef was a joy to work with. They were flexible as I needed them to stay an extra hour to plate the meal. They were on time and had very good and regular communication. They are very professional from start to finish. From the quote, invoicing and flexible payment options.
One of my guest lives in Florida and said she would love to fly them there for any events she may have in the future.
I would highly recommend BYO Chef for your next catering event. 5 star rating from me.

What an awesome gift from my husband to have B.Y.O. Chef cook my 46th birthday dinner. This company was professional from the initial consultation until the presentation of dishes....
Chef Obi provided a varied menu with authentic Nigerian appetizers, salads, soups, entrees and desserts. She prepared all dishes specifically to “my liking” and ensured all my dietary requests were honored. I enjoyed the Beef Suya (minus the peanuts), Jollof rice, and broccoli; my husband raved about the Beef strips and white gravy with wild rice , and our sons devoured the Crispy Sesame chicken wings! For dessert, we shared Oreo Cheesecake & Spiced Apple Cake and washed it all down with lemonade made from scratch (with a pleasant “secret” ingredient! ). From the bold flavor of seasonings and spices in the meats to the smooth mixture of cream in the cakes, Chef Obi’s dishes will satisfy any palate. Her love for food and authentic Nigerian cuisine is tasted in every bite. So, for a special occasion or just a beautiful culinary experience , hire B.Y.O. Chef to cater your next event with great inexpensive “Nigerian creations.“ You will not be disappointed!
The moi moi and egusi soup was absolutely the best I’ve had in a long time, would highly recommend B.Y.O Chef. The prices are great so you definitely get your monies worth.
