— Private chef

THE GOAT KITCHEN, in your home.

A bespoke regional Indian menu, designed around your guests and cooked in your own kitchen by Chef Sid Chopra and the GOAT team. The same food that earned a Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide 2026 — plated and served at your table.

— How it works

Three steps.

01
Tell us about the evening

How many guests, the date you have in mind, and anything we should know — allergies, dietaries, a birthday, someone who cannot do chilli. Send it through and we will come back to you.

02
We design the menu

Sid builds a menu around your guests and the season — regional Indian cooking, not a fixed list. You approve it before anything is bought.

03
We cook in your kitchen

We arrive with the produce, the spices and the equipment. We cook, we serve, we plate each course at your table. Then we clean the kitchen and leave it as we found it.


— What's included

Everything but the table.

  • A bespoke regional Indian menu, designed for your guests
  • Chef Sid Chopra and the GOAT team cooking in your home
  • All produce, spices, marinades and prep
  • Course-by-course service at your table
  • Full kitchen clean-down before we leave
  • Wine and cocktail pairing on request

Menus are quoted per person and depend on the number of guests, the courses and the produce. Tell us what you have in mind and we will send a menu and a price, with no obligation.


— Enquire

Let's talk about your evening.

Send us the shape of the night and we will come back to you with a menu and a price.


— Good to know

How many guests can you cook for?

Anywhere from eight to around thirty in a private home. For larger numbers, or a venue rather than a house, tell us the space and we will let you know what is realistic.

What do you need from my kitchen?

Less than people expect — a hob, an oven, bench space and a sink. We bring our own equipment for anything specialised. If your kitchen is small, tell us and we will plan the menu around it.

How far ahead should I book?

Two to three weeks gives us room to plan properly and source well. We will always try for shorter notice, so ask anyway.

Do you travel outside Auckland?

Yes, for the right evening. Travel beyond Auckland is quoted separately — just include the location in your enquiry.


Or simply call us on 09 3777 414 and ask for Sid.
