Great cooking experience

This was a great experience. We went as a family with children, and their hospitality for us all was excellent. Very knowledgeable and patient. We got to see around the kitchen and learned a lot about how to prepare the food. The chef was great, and all the staff friendly. Thoroughly recommend

good food weird host

we enjoyed the cooking aspect, how to make tagine was clear and tasted lovely. however, as a group we felt uncomfortable. our host ahmed was quite unprofessional in terms of his attention towards people in the group. he was quite overbearing and slightly creepy to certain people and ignored others. we felt he was quite passive aggressive when we laughed, despite wanting us to be happy? he often moved close up to our faces and opened his mouth? he also kept calling someone in our group queen and princess and your majesty to a point that it was uncomfortable and creepy. as much as the cooking was fun, he often rambled on and then rushed us when we were eating food. overall, the food was lovely but it was let down by our host.

Great fun & a great experience!!

My husband & I really enjoyed our Moroccan Cooking class. Moro was our guide and he gave thorough & informative instructions on the spicing & construction of our dishes, slipping seamlessly between English and French. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and the whole experience was well organised with advance info from our pickup driver (who arrived exactly on time) and the restaurant was modern & hygienic. The resulting dishes were delicious and we left feeling inspired to try cooking some Moroccan dishes back home.
