Namaste 🙏 Welcome to Afzal Kitchen
Private Chef Tenerife & Costa Adeje
A private chef who comes to your villa in Costa Adeje, La Caleta, El Duque, Playa Paraiso, Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas. Everything is cooked fresh in your own kitchen on the day, using ingredients bought that morning, and served at the time you choose.
Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Nepali Food in Your Villa
The food is the reason people call us. Every dish is South Asian, cooked from scratch in your own kitchen on the day, and brought to your table course by course.
Chef Afzal spent more than twelve years living and cooking in the Canary Islands, and brings over 25 years of experience in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Nepali cooking. Spice levels are set by you, and vegetarian, vegan or allergy needs are cooked separately.
Set Menus for Your Tenerife Holiday
If you would rather not plan every dish yourself, our set menus make the choice simple. Each one has been put together so the starter, the main and the dessert belong on the same table, and every guest chooses their own dishes from it.
Indian Set Menu
Butter chicken or beef rogan josh, with pilau rice, naan and a samosa to start.
Pakistani Set Menu
Chicken karahi or beef balti, the dishes Pakistani families cook when guests arrive.
Bangladeshi Set Menu
Home-style chicken or fish jhol, served the Bengali way with rice and soft luchi.
Nepali Set Menu
Steamed momos and gentle Himalayan curries, with bhat and warm roti alongside.
Chef's Special Set Menu
Chef Afzal's own favourites, the dishes he cooks when he wants to impress.
Tandoori & BBQ Set Menu
Chicken tikka and mixed grill, marinated in real tandoori spices and finished over the heat.
Vegetarian Set Menu
Jalfrezi, chana masala and baingan bharta, a full meal with no meat on the table.
Children's Set Menu
Mild korma, butter chicken, or nuggets and fish fingers for the fussy ones.
Each menu can be adjusted for spice level and dietary needs, so a mixed group of friends or a family with young children can all eat from the same menu without anyone missing out.
Create Your Own Menu, Morning to Night
Some guests already know exactly what they want. For them there is our full list of dishes, from starters and curries to breads, rice and desserts, and you simply pick one from each part to build a menu that is yours alone.
Every dish can be cooked mild, medium or properly hot, and starters come with fresh mint, tamarind and mango chutneys made in your kitchen.
A private chef is not only for the evening. On a longer stay in Tenerife we can cook a South Asian breakfast on the terrace, a relaxed lunch by the pool, or all three meals of the day for your family and guests.
Birthdays, Anniversaries and Special Nights in Tenerife
Many people come to the south of Tenerife to mark something that matters. A milestone birthday, an anniversary dinner as the sun goes down over La Gomera, a honeymoon evening for two, or a proposal that deserves more than a busy restaurant.
In a villa the night belongs to you. No closing time, no other tables, and the menu built around the people you are celebrating.

What Our Guests Say After Dinner
The best way to judge a private chef is through the people who have already sat at the table. These are real reviews left on Google by guests who invited Chef Afzal into their homes and villas in Spain.
Everything was delicious, amazingly prepared and there were all kinds of dishes for everyone’s taste. The whole service was amazing, especially as a big group it was very nice to not have to cook! The kitchen was left spotless and everything was impeccably prepared. Could not recommend more and will definitely repeat.
Nos encantó la comida, el menú especial para nosotros teniendo en cuenta todos los detalles. Todos los platos espectaculares, además, la cocina recogida después. Sin duda para repetir.
Fue una cena estupenda, todo estaba buenísimo, con un servicio increíble y un trato muy personal, repetiría todos los veranos
What a Private Chef Costs in Tenerife
Every evening is priced per guest, and that price depends on the menu you choose and the size of your group. Larger groups pay less per person, so a family gathering or a villa full of friends works out better value than a dinner for two. The price we send you includes the shopping, the cooking, the service at your table and the cleaning afterwards, with nothing added later.
Tell us your dates, your group size and the menu you have in mind, and we will send you a clear price before you commit to anything.
Private Chef in Tenerife — Your Questions Answered
Booking a private chef for the first time brings a few questions with it, especially when you are on holiday and away from home. Here are the answers our Tenerife guests ask for most often.
Which areas of Tenerife do you cover?
All of them. We cook in villas across Costa Adeje, La Caleta, El Duque, Playa Paraiso, Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas, and we are equally happy to travel to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, La Laguna, Puerto de la Cruz and the quieter villages in the north. Wherever you are staying on the island, just tell us the address and we will come to you.
How many guests can you cook for?
From two people up to fifty or more. An intimate dinner for a couple receives the same care as a large family gathering, and for bigger groups Chef Afzal brings additional kitchen help so that every plate leaves the kitchen at its best.
Can you cook for vegetarians, vegans or guests with allergies?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan cooking sits at the heart of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Nepali food, so these are never an afterthought on our table. Tell us about any allergies or dietary needs when you enquire and the menu will be planned around them.
How far in advance should we book?
Around one week to ten days is ideal, as it gives us time to agree your menu and do the shopping properly. Dates are confirmed in the order they are booked, so popular evenings fill up early — if your holiday dates are already fixed, it is worth getting in touch as soon as you can.
What happens on the evening itself?
Chef Afzal arrives with all the shopping done and everything prepared, cooks in your villa kitchen, and serves each course to your table. You stay with your guests throughout. When the evening ends, the kitchen is left exactly as it was found, clean and tidy.
