Testimonials

I just ate this a few minutes ago and it changed my life. It's as good as going to your Pakistani aunty's house for dinner.

Super traditional dumplings that remind me of my grandma's.

I am really picky about my food and any purchase. I am 200% satisfied with Shef. Food was awesome. Quantity was really good.

Food safety

At Shef, we are committed to helping ensure that your food will always be safe to eat. All shefs are required to pass an accredited food safety certification exam after a probationary period and comply with all local laws and regulations. In regions that have not yet implemented home cooking laws, shefs are required to cook out of commercial kitchens or other legally permissible facilities.
