Chef At Home in Maseru

Chef Kamohelo “Mikey” Mathai

I’m a Lesotho-born private chef, culinary consultant and founder of Chefs Inc., with a passion for creating thoughtful, memorable dining experiences.

My culinary journey has taken me from professional kitchens and mountain resorts to private dining and serving as an Executive/Private Chef to the U.S. Ambassador in Maseru. Along the way, I’ve learned that exceptional food is not only about technique — it’s about understanding people, ingredients and the moments we create around the table.

My cooking is rooted in fresh, seasonal and locally inspired ingredients, combining the flavours of Lesotho with contemporary culinary techniques and influences from my journey as a chef.

Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a special celebration or a personalised dining experience, I enjoy bringing a sense of warmth, creativity and restaurant-quality detail into the comfort of your home.
