Fantastic gyros! - We had such an amazing time during the cooking class. We learned how to make gyros and the process was so fun- the hosts made it very easy to learn and made jokes and shared stories the entire time. It was one of my favorite experiences on vacation and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys cooking, eating, or trying something new! The gyros were absolutely delicious and we were with such a fun group and amazing hosts!

A Great Evening of Food and Fun - The class was fantastic! The instructor and her family run the class. It was well organized, started on time and they worked well as a team. The instructor is an excellent communicator; her instructions were easy to follow and clear. Even for someone who might not have much experience in the kitchen. She has a great sense of humor and had the ability to make everyone feel like they were part of her family and participating in preparing a family meal just like they would in Greece. The whole experience felt very authentic. The food we prepared was excellent. Everything was made from scratch. Everyone was able to make their own pita bread, sauces, dessert and assist with seasoning the meat. The ingredients were fresh, the seasonings were flavorful and better than we get in the US. If you like great food and unique food experiences, you’ll like this class!

Authentic cooking experience - My family of four enjoyed the gyros cooking class. The staff were excellent. They were very patient with all our questions, very knowledgeable, and great teachers. Our food turned out incredible, and we felt like it was an authentic experience. We highly recommend this for a family activity!

So good it keeps a jet lagged family engaged - We loved this! Did it on the day we landed so we’re really jet lagged, but did not feel tired through any of it. We made EVERYTHING we ate. The pork, pitas, dips, dessert…so good! My teenage kids weren’t too keen on the menu to begin with, but they ate it all. The owners keep you engaged through the entire thing. We learned about family customs and history of some of the Greek food as we were cooking. If you don’t eat all you cook (cause you cook A LOT), you can take it with you. Or they donate it to those in need in the community. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Wonderful way to end our visit to Athens.. would recommend this class.. well worth the money - Our chef was super friendly and so informative about the recipes she was sharing.. all foods fresh from her local marketplace. We sat down to enjoy our meal with more of her pre-made condiments to complete the meal.. wonderful experience

The absolute best! - I cannot say enough good things about the experience we had in this cooking class. We have taken cooking classes in other cities in other countries and this one I would have to say is the very best from the moment we arrived throughout the class into the time we finished we were treated more like family or very good friends over to someone’s house for lunch except that we all sat in the kitchen and cooked together. I wish I could give it more stars and I highly recommend this family in this business to anyone that wants to really enjoy a cooking class creating good food and making new friends.

Amazing experience! - What a wonderful evening! This is a family run business and they are so welcoming and informative! They’ve got a great set up that is very easy to get to and comfortable as well. My family truly enjoyed the experience from start to finish and even my teen said he can’t wait to get home and make gyros ourselves! Highly recommend this wonderful experience.

Rain day activity - Our family participated during a rainy day in Athens. We easily used the Metro to reach the location. Our hosts were tremendously friendly and fun. The meal also filled us all up. We recommend as a terrific choice for a rainy day or a creative alternative to a meal out.
