Online marketplace ChefXchange is connecting private chefs in the UAE with people who want to have their iftar catered in their homes or at any chosen venue. 

The company has a datatebase of more than 50 chefs for hire, available throughout Ramadan.

Clients choose a chef based on their own cuisine preference and location, as well as the chef's personal profile listed on the company website.
