About us

Maison Cullinan is a luxury private chef and culinary experience brand based in Dubai, founded by Chef Houcine Abaragh — a classically trained chef with over 15 years of experience in world-renowned kitchens including SUSHISAMBA, Zuma, La Petite Maison, and Four Seasons.

We bring the artistry of fine dining into private homes, yachts, and exclusive events, offering bespoke culinary journeys inspired by Mediterranean elegance, French technique, and Japanese precision. Every dish is designed with seasonal ingredients, sourced with care, and crafted with passion.

Mission

At Maison Cullinan, our mission is to bring the excellence of fine dining into private settings — transforming each meal into a personalized luxury experience. We are committed to crafting elegant, seasonal cuisine with the highest standards of quality, creativity, and discretion.

Our goal is to serve those who seek more than just a meal — but a moment of connection, beauty, and taste. From intimate dinners to high-profile events, we exist to deliver unforgettable culinary moments with style, soul, and precision.

Vision

As a chef, I believe food is more than just taste — it’s a memory, a moment, a message of care and connection.

My vision is to bring fine dining into personal spaces, where luxury meets warmth, and every dish tells a story. I want each guest to feel seen, celebrated, and inspired through the experience I create.

With a foundation built in world-class kitchens and a personality rooted in passion, precision, and humility — I aim to redefine what it means to host, nourish, and impress.

Maison Cullinan is not just about food — it’s about creating timeless moments that reflect excellence, elegance, and soul.

History

My name is Houcine Abaragh, and I began my culinary in the kitchens of Morocco, driven by a deep love for flavors and hospitality. Over the past 12 years, I’ve honed my craft in some of the most prestigious kitchens across the world — from Zuma to SUSHISAMBA, and the Four Seasons. Each place refined my skills, sharpened my creativity, and shaped the chef I am today. In 2024, I decided to step away from the restaurant scene to follow a more personal path — one that allowed me to connect directly with people through food. That vision became Maison Cullinan.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of serving private clients, celebrities, and
elite travelers in Dubai and beyond. From luxury villas and yachts to
intimate dinners and private jet catering, Maison Cullinan brings the
essence of fine dining into every space we enter.
