Working with Chef Hamzeh has been an incredible experience. He’s not your typical chef—he’s proactive, always learning new recipes, and truly understands the kitchen from the ground up. Hamzeh consistently shows up on time and delivers some of the most delicious and creative dishes I’ve ever tasted. He uses his resources wisely and maintains a high standard when ordering supplies, always choosing premium, fresh ingredients—sometimes it feels like the food came straight from the farm. His prep skills are unmatched. Hamzeh is a true one-man show, and it’s fascinating to watch him prepare, cook, and serve guests with such ease and confidence. I’m genuinely grateful to work alongside such a skilled and competent chef.
