About Golas Kitchen & Events
 

Golas Kitchen & Events is a boutique catering and hospitality company owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Michal Gola and Osiris Navarro. Specializing in catering, private dining, event coordination, and hospitality consulting, the duo brings together their diverse cultural backgrounds, worldly travels, and love for the Pacific Northwest and Southwest to create thoughtfully curated events, restaurant-quality cuisine, and memorable experiences.

With decades of combined experience in the hospitality industry, Michal and Osiris believe that good food and genuine hospitality have a way of bringing people together. Their culinary style draws inspiration from flavors around the world, blending traditional comfort foods with creative, contemporary touches.
 

Meet Michal & Osiris
 

Michal Gola is a self-taught chef with years of experience in bartending, fine dining, and restaurant operations. Born in the Czech Republic, Michal immigrated to Queens, New York, at the age of 18, bringing with him a love for Eastern European cuisine and hearty, soulful cooking. His favorite food and beverage pairing is potato pancakes and smoked ham hock with an ice-cold Pilsner. When he's not in the kitchen, you'll likely find him painting, camping, or enjoying the great outdoors.
 

Osiris Navarro brings a creative background in marketing, graphic design, event planning, and hospitality management. Born in the Philippines, she immigrated to Long Beach, California, at the age of five. Her passion for food, design, and bringing people together is reflected in every event she helps create. Her favorite food and beverage pairing is a comforting bowl of Filipino congee rice porridge with Pellegrino and lemon. Outside of planning events, developing menus, and sending proposals, Osiris enjoys interior decorating, creative projects, and making a house feel like home.
 

From Seattle to the Southwest and Beyond
 

After spending more than 20 years in Seattle, Washington, Michal and Osiris decided to trade the bustling city for the wide-open landscapes of the Southwest. In 2020, as the pandemic brought the events industry to a standstill, the couple closed their Seattle catering operations, packed up their lives, and moved to the small village of Magdalena, New Mexico, to pursue a lifelong dream of opening their own restaurant.
 

What began as an abandoned roadside building along historic Highway 60 soon became Tumbleweeds Diner, a welcoming gathering place serving locals, travelers, ranchers, and visitors from near and far. Over the next five years, the couple poured their hearts into building a restaurant that celebrated good food, community, and the unique spirit of rural New Mexico.
 

In late 2026, after five wonderful years of owning and operating Tumbleweeds Diner, Michal and Osiris sold the restaurant to local owners, passing along a beloved community gathering place and closing an unforgettable chapter of their lives.
 

A New Chapter in the Texas Hill Country
 

Never ones to shy away from a new adventure, Michal and Osiris are embarking on their next chapter in Boerne, Texas, bringing Golas Kitchen & Events back to its roots.

​

With a renewed focus on boutique catering, private chef experiences, intimate gatherings, event coordination, and hospitality consulting, they are excited to share their passion for food and entertaining with the greater Kendall County area and surrounding Texas Hill Country communities.
 

Whether it's an intimate dinner party, a family celebration, a corporate gathering, or a special occasion, Golas Kitchen & Events offers a personalized approach that combines restaurant-quality cuisine with the warmth and hospitality of being welcomed into someone's home.

For Michal and Osiris, every new place brings new inspiration, new friendships, and another opportunity to gather around the table.

New town, new adventures, same love for good food and bringing people together.
