Testimonials

  • — Eliko

    Chef Imrun is an engaging chef. For someone who is very particular about his dishes, he was still flexible enough to accommodate and adapt to the limited space we had. Still he executed in a calm way which speaks to his mastery. He was accommodating of all my guests and their different personalities while staying objective. What is most memorable about the experience is how personal some of his creations are. This, of course, makes the experience a profoundly intimate one, in which you gain respect for his connection to his food. I highly recommend.

    Hands down one of the best meals that I've had. I had the pleasure of experiencing Wanderlust's 10 course blind tasting menu in the comfort of my own home. Each course was culinary bliss and one dish even gave me goosebumps. From beginning to end the journey on which he took my palate is unparalleled. Highly recommend his services if you're in the market for private catering/dining, his professionalism, talent and personality are well worth it - you will not be disappointed!

    His service was amazing and left our space spotless upon wrapping up!
