At Oak & Ember by Chef Ayaz, we deliver warm and elevated family dinners designed to bring people together through chef-crafted dished that enrich every gathering.
Oak & Ember is designed with the busy family in mind. Restaurants and meal preps are often a hidden minefield of unhealthy ingredients your family consumes without even realizing. Dinners by Chef Ayaz are crafted with only the cleanest ingredients, never using seed oils, artificial sweeteners, or dyes.
How Oak & Ember Works
Weekly menus go live on Thursday. Orders can be placed and scheduled for delivery for the following week. Dinner quantities are limited as everything is made in small batches. Menu stays live until Sunday or until dinners sell out. Our dinners are family style meals that easily feed a family of 4-5 (depending on your children's appetites). Dinners are prepared fresh the day of and delivered warm and ready to immediately serve.
