Cooking wit Mr Necati Ylmaz. - It was a great experience! The restaurante is wonderful, the chef, Mr. Neceti Ylmaz, is very personable. The chef that accompanied us was very professional and efficient. We were able to cook delicious dishes from the Otoman cuisine, and had a great lunch.

Very unique experience and opportunity! - It's not often you get a chance to do a cooking class in a Michelin restaurant.
There was a bit of confusion with the driver telling me to get off at Sura hotel, which is across from the restaurant, with no further guidance..but just make your way to Deraliye Restaurant if you're in that situation.
The chef was not just talented but extremely also friendly and of course patient, a must when it comes to me in the kitchen. The dishes were both simple and also full of flavor.
You spend about 1-1.5 hours of cooking in total, and you're rewarded with an amazing 3-course meal at the end.

Cooking Class - A terrific experience learning to prepare Turkish cuisine. Chef Halil is a fabulous instructor - she provided clear explanations, and demonstrated superb technique. I'm vegan, and was excited to experience how the various spices, ingredients, and cooking process translate to veganism. The entire staff was absolutely delightful and engaging which made for a fun experience.

Great experience - We had a great time cooking with Hilai today. The meal turned out great and I picked up a few things I can use in my cooking when I get home.

Highly Recommend - Wonderful experience! This was a real highlight of our fantastic trip to Istanbul. The staff is lovely and the authentic Turkish food we cooked was amazing. We really appreciated learning how to use different ingredients / spices to bring together flavors of the region. Highly recommend!

Happy in Istanbul - I really enjoy taking cooking lessons in countries that I visit and this lesson was fabulous. We prepared, cooked and ate three authentic Turkish dishes. Chef was fully prepared, efficient and patient with us. And the best of all, every dish was delicious.

Delicious Local Cuisine - What a delightful experience. Chef Yilmaz was very patient and explained the food, the technique and the preparation very clearly. I enjoyed the hands on cooking of the food and was very glad that it wasn’t just watching the chef cook.
We prepared three authentic Turkish dishes and they all were delicious. This class was certainly one of the highlights of my trip to Istanbul.

Istanbul cooking class - My wife and I had a great time during the cooking class and have taken back some inspiration to cook a similar style of food at home. The chef and restaurant manger, who we primarily interacted with, were superb. Their instruction and patience was much appreciated and the food at the end was delicious.
Additionally, the restaurant was in a great part of town, ideally located to make a day of seeing Istanbul’s key landmarks such as the Hagia Sofia.
The only disappointment was that it is advertised as a 4 hour experience where in reality it is only half that. If it has not been for this it definitely would have received 5 stars.
Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone with an interest in cooking.

Overpriced - Food was mediocre, definitely overpriced for what we learned . The chef was a young girl and she was very sweet and friendly but the flavor of food was just okay. We’ve done many cooking classes all over the world this was probably the most expensive and not that great. On the description they say wine tasting and that was not even offered, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Disappointment at the cancellation of the Cooking Class in Turkey from Istanbul. - Unfortunately, the cooking class was cancelled by the organiser, I only found out on the morning of the class when I was confirming the name of the restaurant that would be hosting the cooking class. They asked me to come the week after which was impossible as we were only in Istanbul for 2 days. We were very disappointed, as we had been looking forward to this opportunity during our stay in Istanbul...
