In short: professional chef in Delhi
Maidvy accepts professional chef requests across Delhi. Maidvy's agency service charge is the Daytime Plan (₹17,700 incl. GST) or the 24×7 Live-In Plan (₹29,500 incl. GST); the worker's salary is separate and agreed with you. You interview shortlisted candidates by audio or video before deciding, and deployment generally takes 2 to 15 working days, depending on availability. It is not guaranteed.
Neighbourhoods and home types in Delhi
Delhi requests come from very different neighbourhoods: South Delhi colonies such as Greater Kailash, Defence Colony, Vasant Kunj and Saket; West Delhi areas such as Janakpuri, Rajouri Garden and Dwarka; North and North-West Delhi including Rohini, Pitampura and Model Town; East Delhi around Mayur Vihar, Preet Vihar and Laxmi Nagar; and central areas near Karol Bagh. A kothi with a servant quarter, a fourth-floor builder floor without a lift and a Dwarka group-housing flat each suit a different arrangement, so mention your locality and home type when you book.
Planning a professional chef for a Delhi home
Delhi kitchens frequently cook Punjabi and North Indian staples, but many households also want South Indian breakfasts, Bengali fish or Jain food. Be specific about your cuisine and how often you entertain, because Delhi families often host relatives on weekends and festivals.
Checklist before hiring in Delhi
- Note your colony or sector, nearest metro station and floor (with or without a lift).
- Check your RWA's process for registering domestic staff and gate entry.
- For live-in help, confirm the servant room or private area is ventilated and has a fan, light and storage.
- Plan for seasonal conditions: start times in winter fog, and fans or coolers for summer.
- Agree the weekly off around family routines and festival periods such as Diwali and Holi.

Housing and space
Delhi homes range from independent builder floors and kothis to DDA flats and group-housing societies. Builder floors and kothis often have a servant room suited to live-in help; smaller DDA flats may suit daytime help better.
Travel and timings
Daytime helpers commute by metro, bus or on foot. Share your locality and nearest metro line so candidates within a practical travel distance can be considered, and allow for winter fog and summer heat when agreeing start times.
Entry and records
Many colonies and RWAs keep records of domestic staff. Check your RWA's process and share the helper's name and timings before joining.
Nearby service areas
Maidvy also serves Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, which helps when your family is spread across Delhi NCR.
