About

I’m Saddam Husen, an Executive Chef based in Riyadh, and I love delivering consistent, high-quality meals through strong kitchen organization and great teamwork. I bring hands-on experience running day-to-day kitchen operations, preparing and executing a wide range of dishes, and maintaining hygiene, safety, and presentation standards throughout every service.

I also focus on people and process: training junior chefs, supporting smooth workflows, and refining recipes and sauces to keep quality steady. Across professional kitchens in Saudi Arabia and India, I’ve developed skills in food storage and handling, quality control, food cost awareness, and reliable equipment operation—so the team can work confidently and guests get the same excellent experience every time.
