Namaste 🙏 Welcome to Afzal Kitchen
Private Chef Breakfast
A South Asian breakfast cooked in your kitchen and brought to your table, whether you are on holiday in a villa or at home with family. Choose a Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi or Nepali morning, each with its own chai, lassi or fresh juice alongside.
How Breakfast at Home Works
Below you will find four breakfasts: Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi and Nepali. Pick one country, or mix dishes from a few, and we build the morning around what you choose.
Every breakfast comes with its own drinks, listed under each one, so the chai, lassi or juice that belongs with it is already included.
If you are staying in a villa, the cooking does not have to stop at breakfast. Chef Afzal can also cook lunch and dinner from the set menus, on the same day or across your stay.
You pay per guest, so just tell us how many are eating and which meals you would like, and you will have one clear price before anything is booked. The more meals and the larger the group, the lower the cost for each person.

Book a Private Breakfast at Your Villa or Home
Tell us the date, where you are staying, how many people are eating and which breakfast you would like. You will get a price per guest before anything is confirmed.
On the morning itself, Chef Afzal arrives with everything needed, cooks in your kitchen, serves at the table and leaves the kitchen clean behind him.
Questions About Breakfast at Home
How many people do you cook breakfast for?
From a couple having a quiet morning to a full villa of guests. Just tell us the number when you book.
What time do you arrive?
Whatever time suits your morning. We agree the hour when you book, and Chef Afzal arrives early enough to cook everything fresh.
How far ahead should I book?
A week to ten days is ideal, so there is time to agree the menu and shop for it. If your dates are close, ask anyway and we will do our best.
Can we have breakfast and other meals on the same day?
Yes. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can all be cooked on the same day or spread across your stay, whichever suits you.
Do you cook in our kitchen or bring your own setup?
Chef Afzal cooks in your own kitchen, brings all the ingredients and spices, and leaves everything clean afterwards.
