I am an experienced Head Chef with over eight years of expertise running busy kitchens across Saudi Arabia and India, specializing in Indian, Arabian, Continental and Western cuisines. I hold a Stamp 1G permission to work full-time in Ireland and recently relocated to Dublin to bring my comprehensive kitchen management and culinary skills to an Irish kitchen. I am fluent in English and skilled across all aspects of food preparation, from grills and sauces to pastries and baking, with strong expertise in menu development, food safety and team coordination.
