We're launching in Spring 2026, starting with Houston, Queens (NYC), and Miami. Join the waitlist to be among the first to experience authentic home-cooked meals from talented local chefs!

Is this safe? How are chefs verified?

Safety is our top priority. All home chefs go through ID verification, background checks, and food safety reviews. Every chef has ratings and reviews from the community, so you always know who you're booking with.

How much will experiences cost?

Pricing varies by chef and experience type. Most home-cooked meals range from $15–35 per person, while private chef experiences and cooking classes vary based on scope. It’s authentic food at prices that respect both chefs and diners.

What cuisines will be available?

Stirvana celebrates the incredible diversity of Houston, Queens, and Miami! Expect authentic dishes from Vietnamese, Indian, Nigerian, Mexican, Filipino, Bangladeshi, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern cuisines — and many more. Our chefs bring heritage recipes passed down through generations.

Can I become a chef on Stirvana?
