I know Chef Patel since 2010. We were together a Malaika Beach Resort, Mwanza, Tanzania. He is highly dedicated professional and his knowledge and attention to detail have aided best in restructuring kitchen and menus engineering. His expertise in terms of culinery are par excellence. I feel confident in recommending. He is not only thorough, but also easy to work with. All the best Chef Patel
