In French, the word chef means "chief." This tells us that a chef is someone who's in charge of something. But what? A head chef, also sometimes referred to as "chef de cuisine" or "executive chef," is in charge of the whole kitchen.
Every part of a foodservice operation, including menu planning, purchasing, hiring and staffing, is part of a head chef's job description. That means he or she also has overall responsibility for all the food that comes out of the kitchen.
You may have noticed one key job function missing from a head chef's job description: cooking . That's right, the head chef typically doesn't cook.
You might see him standing around hollering at the line cooks (or expediting ), but just as often it's a sous chef who does that. When you think executive chef, the key word is executive : The tools of his job are a desk, phone and clipboard, not a knife, whisk or sauté pan.

As the Head Chef, Chef Jalal manages the bustling kitchen, to ensure that the food prepared is always fit for a sultan, in true and unique style.
Chef Jalal began his career at the tender age of 13 when he gained admission at the prestigious Anatolian Culinary High School.

Upon graduating, his passion for cooking lead him to tour in any countries, allowing him to gain first-hand knowledge of the unique culinary nuances.
In 2010, Chef Jalal landed on the shores of Egypt and was appointed as Sous Chef at the Turkish-themed Osmanly Restaurant in Cairo. In his capacity as Sous Chef, he worked closely with the Executive Chef to provide a world-class culinary experience. He was instrumental in the success of Osmanly, which, according to Cairo 360, made the best food in Egypt.
After his sojourn in Egypt, Chef Jalal found his way into the Arabian Gulf, where he quickly fell in love with the people and the fast-paced lifestyle they live. In 2012, he joined the talented team, bringing with him his unique knowledge of traditional Turkish cuisine.
