We booked Aakash for our tenth anniversary and he turned our dining room into something out of a small restaurant. The wine-braised short rib was the dish we kept talking about for weeks.

Anniversary dinner at home · Edmonton, AB

Genuinely one of the best evenings we've hosted. The menu was built around a few things I mentioned in passing and it felt like every course had been thought through carefully.

Milestone birthday · Sherwood Park, AB

Aakash is calm, precise, and easy to have in your home. He worked around two dietary restrictions without making them the centre of attention. The seared scallops were memorable.
