Critical reception


Raja Sen of NDTV gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5, saying that, "Saif Ali Khan and the actors try hard, but lazy writing and direction make Chef a flavourless and bland meal". Meena Iyer of The Times of India praised the performance of the lead actor Saif Ali Khan and gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5, saying that, "Chef is predictable in parts, the journey is an enjoyable one." Sweta Kaushal of the Hindustan Times rated the film 1.5 out of 5 and said that, "Saif Ali Khan's Chef offers moments of brilliance which, if weaved in a more organised manner, may have given us a light, affable film. But a lazy and rather uninterested narrative takes away the pleasure."
Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and said that, "In a premise begging for food porn, there's a shocking scarcity of sensory pleasure or vision. Chef is too dull to be delicious." Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated it 2 out of 5 and said that, "Saif Ali Khan's film has some interesting flavours. But Chef feels derivative, and is a late coming of age tale of Peter-Pan-like adults. And that's got to do with the uneven writing. It is a good-looking film, with good-looking people only." Rajeev Masand awarded the film 2.5 out of 5, saying that, "Chef isn't perfect; it lags in places, offers quick-fix solutions to characters’ problems, and feels wholly familiar. But at a little over two hours, it doesn't ask much of you, and offers some pleasure in Saif Ali Khan's return to form as an actor hard to look away from."
