More than just a “Gyro”. - My evening at Dionissis and Eleni's Home was an absolute delight! The Homemade Gyro and Souvlaki Night, powered by IT IS GREEK, was an authentic Greek culinary experience like no other. From the warm hospitality to the mouthwatering flavors, every detail was impeccable. I left feeling nourished, satisfied, and eager to return for more delicious Greek fare. Highly recommend!

A great tasty experience - What a great idea it is! We always wanted not just to eat local food, but also learn how to do it, so that we keep the taste memories back home! Dionysis and Eleni create an unforgettable experience, a funny and tasty one!

Nice people, disappointing evening - Our hosts were lovely...warm and welcoming. However, the evening was less than expected. The cooking lesson consisted of allowing us to chop vegetables for the salad. And $107 pp is steep for 2 gyros with some veggies and fruit

Disappointing experience, although nice hosts. Wouldn't recommend to friends. - We found this to be an alright, although disorganized experience. The hosts were very nice but the experience was way overpriced for what we received. From the description we understood that it would be more of a cooking class where we would learn how to prepare some of the Greek traditional dishes. Besides chopping a few vegetables we didn't do any cooking which basically meant our dinner was about $150CAD (100 euros) each when we could have received the same food, if not actually slightly better food, from the restaurant down the street for less than half the price.
