Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join this meal experience?

A: There's no strict age limit! Jacqueline loves having families over. Just keep in mind that smaller kids might not be familiar with the food, but she's really accommodating. She usually has something for everyone, and it can be a great cultural experience for them. Just give her a heads up if you’re bringing kids along!

Q: What if it rains? Do we get to reschedule?

A: Jacqueline usually conducts her meals indoors, so rain shouldn't be a problem! But if there's severe weather, she’ll definitely work with you to reschedule. Just reach out to her directly for changes, she’s super accommodating.

Q: What should I wear for this meal? Is there a dress code?

A: There's no formal dress code, just wear something comfortable! People usually go for casual but nice outfits since it’s a home environment. Think cozy but a tad dressy, and maybe skip the heavy perfumes since some dishes have strong aromas.

Just had the most amazing meal with Jacqueline!

Wow, if you love Middle-Eastern food, you HAVE to try this experience! Jacqueline’s home in Canoga Park is like walking into a warm hug. She served us homemade hummus, tabbouleh, and the best chicken shawarma I’ve ever had. We even got to sip on arak while enjoying her beautiful garden. Totally worth the price, and you feel like family right away. Highly recommend for a cozy dinner with friends or family.

Thinking about gifting this experience, but is it really that good?

I've been looking into that private meal at Jacqueline's place for a gift, but I want to make sure it's worth it. I love Middle-Eastern food, and the idea of a home setting sounds perfect. Has anyone done this and can share their thoughts?
