Five Star Maui Private Chef Reviews

Kyra is amazing! She was always pleasant and very responsive to my emails. Meeting her in person was a delight with her upbeat personality and love for her craft! She is skilled and creative. The plant based meal she created for us was thoughtful and delicious! Each dish is beautifully prepared and presented with attention to every detail. She went above and beyond our expectations! If you are looking for an extraordinary experience I highly recommend Kyra-you will not be disappointed!

Janice WrenProfessional vacationer and foodie

Kyra was an amazing chef and prepared a memorable dinner for me and my family- we were celebrating my daughter in law's 30th birthday. The food was out of this world. She was so good with my young grand children and they even ate her food. I highly recommend Kyra to cook in your home.

Eva HickeyBest grandma & mother-in-law ever!

We had a group of 13 last night for dinner in our condo at Hanua Kai Resort. Angel and team made it such a great experience! It is clear that Angel loves her job and loves to buy and cook using the freshest and best ingredients. Her personality is like sunshine, and her food was off the charts good. Who knew I even liked beets and cauliflower!?! And the place was left spotless with the leftovers packed away neatly in the fridge. I would not hesitate to have Lotus Chef cater a dinner for us again. Well done!

Sara H.Vacation Pro, Family Organizer

An amazing evening with Lotus Chefs! Chef Kyra and her team were such a pleasure to work with. Everything was fantastic. The flavors of the food, the tablescape, the attention to detail in every dish and the pleasant smiles created for memorable evening, which is no small feat for a group of 15! The food was so fresh and we appreciated the locally sourced ingredients. Such a great Hawaiian experience enjoyed right in the privacy of our vacation rental.

Tanya C.Southern Hospitality Expert

Incredible food and team. We hired chefs Kyra and Casia and their terrific assistants to cook for our multigenerational family of 7 adults and 2 small kids from 3 different countries. A total of 3 nights of our vacation. They were the best meals we had in Maui! They were organized and right on time, the food looked and tasted beautiful, and they accommodated all our quirks, crazy kids running around, and served the most tasty and relaxing meals we had. You don't be disappointed.

Phillip S.Father, Fish Expert, Lover of Food

Our family owns multiple restaurants in both Chicago and Seattle, some for more than 30 years. During that time we’ve sampled the food of dozens of chefs who wanted to work for us, including CIA grads and some with Michelin stars. KYRA RANKS AT THE VERY TOP. With her terrific assistants, Heidi and Allisa, Kyra created an incredible 6 course dinner and served 10 of us with incredible style and timing from the miniscule kitchen of our hotel suite. We’ve eaten in fine restaurants all over the world (including our own) and would rate the meal Kyra created for us as truly among the very best. You’ll be lucky if you can book her!

Dan RosenthalRestauranteur, Pike Place Hospitality Group, Seattle

We love Kyra and her wonderful team! We hired Kyra for a private family dinner while in Maui, and it was absolutely the highlight of our trip. We ended up hiring her for another night that week since our first dinner was so good! With a growing family, going out to dinner takes a lot of coordination, planning, and work. We decided to hire Lotus Chef to come to our house and it was so much easier and more fun that eating out - our meals were perfectly presented and wonderfully flavored and their team left the kitchen spotless at the end of the night. We highly recommend Lotus Chef for your Maui vacation!

Britt S.Honey Expert, Daughter of the Year, Foodie

We had so much fun! Kyra was kind enough to personally create a family cooking class for us during our Maui vacation. We learned how to prepare several Hawaiian dishes all while laughing and joking around. I heard several members of my family say it was one of the top highlights of the whole vacation!

Nicole K.Poke lover, family matriarch

Simply the best meal I have had on Maui in the 20 plus years I have been visiting here. Beautifully presented, delicious and creative food served by a friendly and knowledgeable team.

Richard R.Maui culinary scene connoisseur

My family and I arrived to Maui for the first time this year. Kyra was referred to us from the host at the location we stayed at along with other top tier Chef's. Upon reaching out to a few of them, I found that Kyra was the most easy going and talented of the group. We did three meals with her (two brunches, one dinner). Was one of the highlights of our trip. Worth every penny and will be a new standard in our family vacations to Maui. Mahalo!
