I can't say enough about Papa's in the Kitchen. We hired them to cater a dinner party for about 30 people on Maui.From start to finish their professionalism was outstanding. So impressed. So, what about the food? It was just EXCELLENT. We have has other catering companies for large parties but Papa's excelled. Everyone loved the food!! Highly recommend. read more

Papa's in the Kitchen delivers an amazing service with high quality food in easy to prepare portions. When I stayed in Maui with my family, we ate so well without having to worry about cooking. The portions are very generous, and so we also had tons of yummy lunches!! read more

So I've tried more than 15 different Meal Services and personal chefs. Including almost all the major ones on Yelp. Through direct experience I've had some sort of issue with every single one. That is how I ended up trying Papa's in the Kitchen. I've found that typically most 'healthy' cooking ends up meaning 'taste free'. Which is great if you are trying to lose a ton of weight by not eating - but who wants to do that?! However, this company, Papa's in the Kitchen is the ONLY one that I have found that dose consistent healthy and tasty! Plus, they rotate their dishes so you won't get bored of the food. I'm super picky and I'm sure I'm a pain to deal with, but they seem happy to work with me. Plus, they both honestly care and really enjoy what they are doing. They are also small enough that they can really pay attention to what you receive and ensure it is what you are supposed to get based on your specific dietary restrictions and requests. When there was an issue, they took 100% responsibility and made things right. Whereas I've had other companies point fingers or make excuses. I've waited quite some time to write this review because I wanted to ensure that the service stayed the same. I was happily surprised that the food got BETTER as the Chef gained a better understanding of my exact likes and dislikes. I honestly know from trying the other services that you cannot find anyone better. Plus, think about it: it is not easy to maintain a 5 Star Rating on Yelp relating to food and service. So if you are looking for a healthy, tasty, and reliable meal delivery service, then you have found it. When you try this service and properly communicate your likes and dislikes, then you will LOVE this service! read more

Chef Jason catered a five day private event The food was outstanding. All of it was good. I wish I lived in Hawaii so that they could become my private chef. Every meal was something new and exciting. They were professional and friendly and delivered the goods! I highly recommend. read more

Cher Byata was amazing! She catered our big family dinners twice while we were in Maui and it was the best food we have had since in Hawaii! We did the Hawaiian and Italian menus. It was a toss up what we liked more. I loved her customer service and professionalize. She is a gem and will give you 5 star service! read more

We had catering for 4 nights during our vacation in Maui...the food was absolutely amazing and plentiful...added so much to our extended family vacation..it was especially fantastic that they were able to cater to all varied tastes...vegans, meat eaters, etc...everyone was so happy and grateful read more

Chefs Byata and Jason's high-end delicious catered food is something I look forward to every visit to Maui. The level of service and wide repertoire including local fresh caught fish in sage butter, spicy tuna and avocado on crispy wontons, braised short ribs on creamy polenta, along with their flexibility of catering a large party or a small family gathering makes for a true vacation - no need to scramble for dinner reservations or shop for groceries - Papa's brings meals right to your door. They bring their expertise from LA and it shows with mouth-watering cuisine and top notch service. Highly recommended. read more

Papa's in the Kitchen food delivery service is incredible! I have used several other companies and none compare to the quality or service. The meals are healthy, delicious and delivered right to your door. The ingredients are top quality and I truly look forward to enjoying each and every meal. Byata has also been very accommodating of my food allergies and the taste preferences of both my husband and myself. Can't say enough good things about this delivery service. Highly recommend! read more

I have been using food delivery services for about three years, and Papa's in the Kitchen is by far the best I've ever used. Companies I've used before, like Crateful, Freshology, and Paleta, pail in comparison. Papa's has the best tasting, most filling, most variety food delivery service I have ever tried, and at this point, I'm a veteran food delivery recipient. Papa's isn't just good delivery food, it beats out most of the restaurants we have been too. If ya wanna know more about the reasons I use Papa's, and recommend them too all my clients (I'm a personal fitness trainer), here's a more in-depth breakdown of why Papa's in the Kitchen is so great! 1. It's not some huge company with a customer service that takes two days to get back to you. It's really like your own personal chef cooking for you. They are very personable and they make adjustments to accommodate your needs. Yeah, the other companies have these flashy websites that can make your ordering easy (if they work), but I have stuck with Papa's because of the personal care. 2. Papa's rarely repeats meals. It's mind boggling how many different, delicious meals they make. After three month they have only repeated a meal once or twice, and even then, it had a variation to it that made it new. The other companies I've been with repeated meals just after two weeks. 3. They don't go all super fancy on you, it's just amazingly good tasting food. I don't need bok choy with every meal, like Crateful gave me. I just want good food, and Papa's always delivers. I don't need edible flower peddles for an extra $10 bucks a meal (Paleta), I just want yummy food. I felt all the other companies throw in all this fancy stuff I don't need, but this isn't to say that Papa's food doesn't look amazing either, as their presentation is the best I have seen. I also like a good hamburger, or fried chicken now and the and they deliver it, and it tastes better then anything I have ever had in a restaurant. And don't think it's not healthy, as they use organic farm fresh ingredients. The chicken is lightly dusted in a non gluten batter. It's comfort food and new stuff I've never tried before, and it's all amazing! 4. Their food is filling! Every company I have used before left me and my wife hungry after every meal. My wife and I kept finding ourselves snacking after our meals because we weren't full - so we actually gained weight on those other plans. Not Papa's! Every meal leaves me full and content. 5. I have only had one or two meals that where eh, but they were still edible. With Crateful and Freshology I would literally throw meals out because they were horrible. When you're paying $20-$25 per meal, this is not good. 6. I've had one slight error in my food illuminations when working with Papa's. If you knew how many food allergy elimination I have, you would understand how amazing it is that there has only been one error. In comparison, I had over 50 mistakes on my meals when I was with Crateful over a 6 month period. Papa's actually caught the error before I even ate the meal and they contacted me. Now that's service! If you're worried about the, "I can't choose my meals" part of these kinds of meal plans, don't. It's actually like Christmas every day. My wife and I open up the bags and all you here is, "Ooo!" "Ohh!" because we are dazzled and surprised by the yumminess that is in the bag. It makes it fun, plus, there's no decision making involved. Aren't you sick of wondering, "What do I want to eat tonight?" Now try figuring that out for the whole week. Ya see, let Papa's handle it, you'll thank me for it. That's my speel. I know I may sound like a salesman but it's only because I really like this company and I hope they do well because it's been a challenge finding a good food delivery service. Papa's saves me time and makes my belly (and my wife) happy. Let them do the same for you. read more

We had an amazing experience with chef B and J as our private chefs for a family gathering in Hawaii. Both helpful and courteous in planning, preparing and serving a wonderful meal. The food was all beyond expectation. Overall a memorable family experience that everyone enjoyed. Even our six toddler grandchildren were declaring dishes as the "best ever". We hope to visit their new food truck venture soon. Thanks and good fortune to you both. read more

Papa's in the Kitchen is the best. We wanted a private chef for two nights during our last trip to Maui to enjoy great food without the long wait at crowded restaurants. Chefs B and J were amazing. The food was delicious and creative. The Chefs were also really fun to talk with and they generously shared cooking techniques (and even a recipe). They made dinner fun and easy. They brought all of the food, prepared it at our rental house, packed up leftovers for us with tips on the best way to reheat, and left the kitchen spotless. I highly recommend Papa's in the Kitchen. read more

I arranged to have a catered dinner delivered for a bachelorette party and the experience was outstanding. The communication was easy, the menu that was sent had a multitude of delicious options and pricing was very reasonable. The delivery was seamless, friendly and accommodating. Would definitely book again. read more

I'm obsessed with Papa's in the Kitchen & Byata. The food is DELICIOUS and they do such a great job of catering to your dietary preferences and needs. The food is fresh, delicious and always hits the spot. Byata is so sweet and supportive and checks in and offers great advice. I couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

I have been doing meal delivery services off and on for about five years. This is the tenth service I have tried and the only one where I have ever truly enjoyed the food. I truly look forward to my dinners from these guys. Stand out dishes have been short ribs with a wine reduction sauce, orange chicken, and a curry dish. The customer service has also been wonderful. They pay attention to my particular situation and needs in a friendly and loving way. read more

Tired of asking each other what we should eat for dinner and slowly getting fat from take out, Papas In The Kitchen had been awesome. Both my wife and I have lost weight, have more energy and best of all the food is ridiculously good. I'm a pescatarian and haven't eaten the same thing twice, even after several months of service. Honestly, if I were to cheat on my wife it would be with one of Chef Jason's amazing seafood dishes! It's that freakin' good. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Papas In The Kitchen to anyone who doesn't have time to cook (or doesn't want to) and loves creative and fresh dishes delivered to your house. read more

If you are looking for a meal delivery service in Los Angeles, this is your lucky day- you can stop the search! I have tried numerous meal plans and delivery service, and nothing compares to Papa's in the Kitchen in terms of food quality, taste, expertise, and caring service. I have a medical condition that requires extremely specific dietary restrictions, and Byatta and Chef Jason didn't blink an eye. I am definitely a complicated case, and they worked with me to create the perfect meal plan to keep me healthy and thriving. I was thrilled by the taste of the meals- you will not be disappointed or missing your usual diet once you start with them! The food is absolutely delicious, and you will realize how great eating healthy can be! I love the way the meals are packed, and the delivery driver is awesome. They are flexible and attentive, constantly checking in on your progress, and asking if they can do anything to make the service or your experience better. Sign up today, you won't regret it! read more

I've used a number of food delivery companies but none come close to Papas In the Kitchen. The combination of a nutritionist and gourmet chef results in great food, at right calories - I lost 4 pounds in the first week (unusual and drops off but hey - great way to start) and did not feel the least bit deprived... in fact I look forward to their meals as much - if not more - than food delivery from my favorite restaurant. I'm a crazy picky eater and have loved everything. Because they listen to you the food is great. I expect to continue with them even after I've lost the weight I hope to lose. Great not having to think and seeing what great meal appears next. They are worthy of at least 10 stars! Because of them, my home has become my favorite place to eat read more

I signed up for 20 days to kick off a weight loss diet. I lost 12.9 pounds in 30 days. I am thrilled. Weekends were excluded. Byata put me on the Paleo diet, no sugar, gluten or dairy. The food was flavorful and really good. I am a basic eater so some of the food was a new venture for me. I give them a thumbs up. I was very satisfied and will sign up again. read more

The assortment has been perfect- I've never had the same meal twice, and I'm always pleasantly surprised. The food is absolutely delicious! Anytime I have a problem, they are on it right away. I couldn't ask for better service- definitely recommend for anyone who has a hard time eating healthy or is too busy to plan meals like me. read more

I've tried several meal delivery services but Papa's is hands down the best option! Their food is always fresh and delicious! I'm always so excited to receive my cooler in the mornings! I tried out their Whole30 meal program and loving the results! read more

My wife has been on the Whole30 diet with Papa's In The Kitchen for over 30 days and she isn't willing to stop. The food is delicious, fresh, prepared with care and love, and always delivered with a smile. The portions are good and the variety in the menu always keeps her excited. Her favorites are any salad with shrimp and steak for dinner, although the fish is always an awesome choice, especially when on a bed of some greens. When we were deciding which diet to go with, Chef Jason and Byata were very helpful with figuring out the goals on the diet and able to recommend what would be best. They are always available and very flexible with the delivery. Plus who can beat that price! And my wife lost 10 lbs within a month! read more

I love it, I love it, I LOVE it. Eating healthy has never been so easy. Honestly, you don't even have to think about what you're eating or how to cook it, they plan and prepare ALL of your meals for the same price that I spend at the grocery store anyway. You fill out a quick food questionnaire (takes two minutes) and they'll accommodate any food restrictions (I'm on the dairy-free, gluten-free bandwagon) you require and they'll blow you out of the water with how good they can make healthy food taste. How it works is they deliver a cooler to your front door with your fresh (and delicious) food for the day, then you just set your old cooler out for them the next day and they swap it with the next days food. HOW EASY IS THAT? This is my first review, I just had to write it because of their outstanding service and meal selection. I feel like I never eat the same thing twice and I've been with them for several months now. They're always checking in to see how you're liking the food and how it's going, AND they don't charge you for any meal you don't like (I've never not liked a meal, but still nice of them). I just love them, love their food, and love not having to think and stress out about how to eat healthy all week. It's like a fun little game to see what's in your cooler every day, and it's squashed my desire to eat out because I know I have an awesome meal waiting for me at home. Maybe we should call them Angels In The Kitchen?? LOVE THEM! read more

at a private event catered by Papa's, and i'm blown away. every course has been perfect.

I have tried a lot of different food delivery services in Los Angeles, and this is by far the BEST! Not only does it help you lose weight, but the food is DELICIOUS! They are always very hands on and make sure that all of your needs are met. I love knowing that I am getting the best quality food and they are exciting to see you success. Thanks for being so awesome! read more

I have been ordering meals from this lovely business for years. I've tried several meal services and they are far and away the most consistently quality AND delicious. Thanks Chef! They're really creative everyday, no matter my annoying dietary restrictions. They've helped me so much get my health on track. They're great about checking in and everything. Love y'all! read more

I seriously can't rave about the food and service of Papa's in the Kitchen enough!! I was so tired of over-spending and making the wrong choices in the food department. I feel better, am losing weight and my bank account isn't suffering! Started Week 3 of my delivery service yesterday and see no end in sight! The food is AMAZING. It is perfect for someone like me who has ZERO time to cook, but LOVES food and wants to make proper choices. Also love the tips and encouragement I get from Byata on a daily/weekly basis. read more

I've tried two other food service companies (Sakara and Motherbees) and Papa's in the kitchen blows them away! It is all prepared by a great chef who understands flavor and variety, and they provide healthy, organic dishes with ample, good quality protein so you feel satiated with the main course. And that is what makes Papa's in the Kitchen stand out! I cancelled Sakara and Motherbees after a couple weeks. I'm a mama with two little ones and I figure I save about 3 -5 hours in time and energy every week having lunch and dinner delivered daily - and that is a huge relief! It is also reasonably priced for organic, high quality food delivered to your door. read more

I'm so obsessed with PITK, I don't even know where to start! I've been receiving their meals for a little over two weeks now and everything has been delicious. I always thought clean eating would be hard but the meals they provide have been anything but bland and boring. Everyday it's like I have a new surprise waiting at the door. I've even shed some pounds along the way! Also, Byata has been a great support and checks in regularly to see if I have any questions or need a moral boost. PITK is nothing but awesome! read more

Had the pleasure of meeting the husband and wife team when they catered my great aunts memorial. The food was absolutely delicious and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. Will definitely use them for future events. read more

Having been in the fitness industry for 20 years, I often make recommendations on meal delivery services for my clients and nothing has come close to the high quality of food and professionalism of Papa's in the Kitchen! The food is always delicious, healthy and balanced in macronutrients. Having both a nutritionist and highly trained chef ensures you are receiving food that is designed to help you thrive! read more

They are amazing! Great food choices! Everything is always delicious and so healthy! Byatta can create a specific plan for you to meet any goals you have. Super friendly to work with and very reasonably priced. I suggest anyone tries it!!! read more

This is the first meal delivery program I have ever used and I certainly will not try another! The food is delicious, the service is top notch, and they deliver to me even though I live far outside their normal delivery radius! You nearly never get the same meal twice, unless you want it, and Byata is constantly checking in to make sure everything is tailored to my liking. I have also lost 15 pounds and didn't even have to exercise! HIGHLY recommend! read more

My husband and I started having meal delivery service from Papa's in the Kitchen after our son was born to simplify dinner. We started with dinner and snacks for each of us. The food was so delicious and the convenience was life saving that I decided to start having all my meals delivered. I've lost 11 pounds so far and feel great. I look forward to each and every meal and snack. Jason and Byata have changed my life. I love good food and their food is so delicious and creative. Consistently amazing. I cannot recommend them more highly!! read more

My experience with this company and been awesome. They are personable, knowledgeable., and the food is delicious. I've tried several meal services and this one has been my favorite read more

Day 8 of 31 and I am absolutely loving this process. I am doing a Sugar Detox and Whole30 eating plan with #papasinthekitchen. The food is delicious and flavorful. It's wonderfully packed and presented and the quantities are more than enough. They check in on my progress and offer support. The drivers are super fun and friendly. So thankful to have found this great service and fabulous food. read more

This meal delivery program has changed so many things for me. I was eating horribly and didn't know how to change course. With two kids and a full time job I was just making horrible decisions for myself. With the easy service and amazing paleo meals I feel back in control again! Not to mention the food is awesome. I never feel deprived and I'm eating whole, sustainable, healthy non processed food every day! read more

The BEST food delivery service I've ever done! Food is organic and so fresh. I always felt satisfied, meals varied daily and weekly so I never got bored, they adapted to my dietary requests, as well as my husbands. They were always flexible. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I couldn't recommend them more!!! read more

Meals are nutritious, tasty, and generous portions. Furthermore, they deliver on time and wherever I may be located that day in town. Been a great experience thus far with Papa's in the Kitchen. Thank you! George read more

I have tried just about every food delivery weight loss option and nothing has come close to the quality of food of PitK. The food is seriously delicious and I really really don't like "healthy" food. They are also more than happy to work with you to personalize things more to your tastes if there are items not to your liking. Also super flexible if you travel a lot and need the deliveries started and stopped from time to time. Couldn't recommend more highly. read more
