Chef Ahmad & Chef Ahmad were both very friendly and helpful in teaching us chopping techniques. The food turned out great and they were very accommodating for vegetarian needs. We got print out copies of the recipes to take home too. Highly recommend!

Ahmed was funny and taught us a lot about Jordanian cooking and society. The food was excellent and any leftovers are given to Syrian refugees living nearby, which is an extra reason to support this class 🧆 (btw, unlike some other places in this area there was no pressure to leave a positive review. We just had a good time!)

This was an amazing experience while visiting Jordan and after a day at Petra. Chef Rida was a great teacher and covered all the basis. He taught about the local food, spices and we made delicious dishes. We tasted everything then sat down for our supper. It was great! He gave us all the recipes also. Would highly recommend!!!

 Verified Great way to unwind in Petra
Great experience - we learnt so much about traditional Jordanian food. Staff were great, venue was spacious and clean and most importantly, the food was delicious. You get to take home with you, the recipes on paper. Perfect activity whether your a coming as a family, couple, group or travelling privately. Would definitely recommend.
