Best cooking class in Marrakech - We had the best experience with this cooking class. The chef Youssaf was so friendly and gave us so much interesting information about Morocco. He took us to a local market to buy fresh ingredients and told us all about Moroccan culture. We then cooked tajine, made traditional Moroccan mint tea, drank the tea with biscuits while chatting to Youssaf and then ate the tajine which was the best meal I’ve had on the trip. 10/10 would recommend.

Best cooking class in Marrakech - Had the most amazing time. Youssaf is most definitely the best guide in Marrakech, he showed us many parts of the markets that we wouldn’t have seen. After the markets we came back up the roof top of Neila to cook and also had a tea break. Best meal of our entire was from this cooking class. Couldn’t recommend more.

Hugely welcoming experience - It was a really lovely experience. Our guide took us to the market and absolutely went the extra mile in terms of the experience. Bought my wife flowers from me! Then made us feel at home back at the riad. We then cooked a great tagine all in a clean and welcome environment. Would recommend.

Adaptable, engaging and personable. - I would like to give a bing commendation Youssef, Saad, Huda, and Muhammed as they worked as a very effective and personable team in facilitating the cooking class. I was quite fortunate in that I traveled to Morocco in the slower season so I essentially I had a private session with all four of them attending to me. It was a testament that they were all fully engaged in teaching the class despite there only being one student. They were very adaptable to with their approach to teaching and engaging as I can be difficult in that I mostly learn by doing and working with my hands rather that getting talked at with expositions on expositions as I work as a professional chef for a living and my main goal of taking their class was to really learn the fundamentals of what makes up Moroccan Cuisine. I also wanted to bring what I learned back to my country as most moroccan restaurants in my part of the world appears to me to only be a caricature of the moroccan culture and falls short on authenticity. I feel confident that I was well informed from the immersive session I had at Nelia's.

Amazing experience in Marrakech! - We had an amazing experience at Nelia Cooking Class in Marrakech! Youssef was an incredibly warm-hearted guide who truly loves his job. He took us through the Medina and the market, sharing fascinating insights about Morocco, its culture/ history, and religion. After shopping for fresh ingredients, we headed to a beautiful rooftop where we got to cook our own tagine. The entire team was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. We had the chance to cook and enjoy our own dish—it was honestly the best tagine I’ve ever had! The chef was fantastic, and the whole experience was unforgettable. We would definitely do it again!

First class cooking experience - This is more than a cooking class, and so much more than I was expecting. Yosef is extremely knowledgeable about Morocco, Marrakesh, and its culture. We walked to the market, selected produce and sampled foods. Returned to the rooftop restaurant where the chef and Yosef supervised us while we made our own individual tajines. My partner said it was the best meal he’d had since we arrived. Magical experience which I want you to experience so I’ve not given too much away.

Simply magical cooking experience with Yousef at Riad Nelia - Holy Smokes! It is all I can say. What a wonderful and magical experience we just had with Yousef and the entire exceptional Riad Nelia staff. I don’t think we have interacted with more genuine, kind and attentive hosts. Simply lovely in every respect from touring the local market and picking our ingredients to making our own Tagine dishes with a private cooking class. Perfect way to cap off a magical trip to Morocco. Our only regret is we didn’t stay at this wonderful Riad!

master class - We were very well received, we went to the market to buy good products. The guide explained us full of details about the daily life of Moroccans. The chef guided us very kindly to make the best tagines of Morocco. Thank you for this pleasant time
