Chef Abyssinia | Personal Chef & Catering Services in NYC & NJ — Local services in City of Long Beach

After doing some research of finding a personal chef to cater to my wife on her birthday with friends, I landed on Chef Abyssinia on instagram. I reviewed her photos and was very impressed with what I saw so all that was left, was a phone call and my menu options. From the initial call, I got a really good feeling from her and even got to know her a little regarding background and experience. It was refreshing and nice to feel like she was trustworthy. When the day came, she arrived on time and ready to get started. The look on my wife's face match the eyes emoji that people use in text, but she spoke with Chef Abbyssinia, she got a good vibe and felt relaxed. To say that her food tasted amazing is an understatement. From the setup, to the entrees and dessert, we were super impressed as this was a first time experience for us. The only bad part was that we wanted more! I would highly recommend Chef Abbysinia to take care of you on whatever your special day calls for. She is pleasant, polite, and professional. I hope to use her again in the future! We had the lobster Mac and cheese, Surf and Turf, Jerk Chicken pops/Jerk Chicken entree, and bread pudding as a dessert. The kids menu consisted of Mac and Cheese, Chicken Tenders, and ice cream. ...

My experience with Chef Abyssinia was 5 stars from start to finish. I was looking high and low to find a black owned business like hers and I was so happy when I found her Instagram. I reached out to her to do a birthday dinner for my mom. She was very responsive and detailed throughout the planning process. The prices are very fair and worth the quality of the food and work that she and her sous chef put in. I did not count my 3 year old niece as a plate, we were just going to feed her, her own food. The chef made a mini version of each dish for my niece. I thought it was very thoughtful. It was a amazing experience. Chef Abyssinia and her sous chef were very friendly, we enjoyed conversation with them. We had the dinner at an Airbnb where it’s kitchen had a few hiccups and they made the most of it without compliant. Most importantly the food was AMAZING. With full confidence I can say it was some of the best food I’ve had in my life. I will definitely be booking Chef Abyssinia and her team in the future. I highly recommend you book Chef Abyssinia for...

Prior to COVID-19, I hired Chef Abyssinia for my yoga class's retreat to the Hamptons. I was blown away by the incredible experience she curated just for us, fitted exactly to our needs. Before the retreat, Chef Abyssinia kept consistent communication with me, keeping me informed of menu ideas and asking for my opinion. She did an AMAZING job catering to our group's specific needs (inc. vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut allergy, and dairy-free) - it was a lot to keep track of! We were so grateful. She listened to exactly what we wanted each day, whether that was brunch, snacks, dessert, etc. and executed it flawlessly. The food was SO GOOD! I enjoyed the banh mi (with homemade pickles) and jerk chicken wings the most. The ice cream she made was also delicious. On top of that, Abyssinia also has a lovely personality and we enjoyed sitting by the fire and chatting at the end of a long day. She took an enormous weight off my shoulders and I couldn't be happier with...
