The food prepared by Chef Nija was faultless and she went out of her way to accommodate our needs. We engaged her services for a dinner party celebrating my sister's 35th birthday, with a guest list of just 5 people. Chef Nija arrived on schedule and expertly served the dishes with an attention to detail that impressed us all. As someone who had never arranged such an event, I was blown away by the quality of her service and the delectable food that she prepared. I highly recommend Chef Nija for any special occasion.

My spouse's 75th birthday celebration was an absolute hit all thanks to the talented Shamhouse Chef Nija. The food served was simply outstanding, surpassing all expectations. In fact, my vegetarian guests were raving about how it was the best veggie meal they've had in ages! I would not hesitate to enlist Nija's services once more.

To celebrate my mother's 70th birthday, our entire family rented a house in Searsport for a week. To add a special touch to the occasion, Chef Nija was engaged to create a classic Maine lobster dinner. The chef's communication was exceptional, the preparation was executed in a highly professional manner and the food was simply outstanding. Our experience was beyond delightful!

For a bachelorette dinner, we enlisted Chef Nija's services, and it was a delightful experience throughout. Right from the start, Chef Nija proved to be an extremely accommodating and cooperative individual. She assisted me in crafting a menu that included all of the honoree's preferred dishes while taking into account the dietary limitations of some attendees. When we met her, she was just as impressive in person. Chef Nija was courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive as she served us our meal. Surprisingly, there were leftovers to take home, and Chef Nija cleaned everything up before leaving. Her culinary expertise was evident in her delicious, freshly prepared, and flavorful creations. We enjoyed the magical evening and the delicious food, so thank you very much, Chef Nija! (Please see the attached image of our appetizers!)
