A wonderful experience - Dervis’s traditional Albanian cooking class is wonderful. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful. The set up was top notch. And his instructions, humor and stories made the experience a delight. Highly recommended to anyone who loves food and wants to get some insights into Albanian cuisine. Come hungry - you will leave completely satisfied.

Delicious, insightful and memorable ❤️ - Unforgettable experience! We had lots of fun, learned a lot, not only about the food, but also about Albanian culture and history, and had a wonderful time cooking and eating our creations. Dervis is a wonderful teacher and host!

Best. Class. Ever. - Where to begin - we had the best time with Dervis who showed us how to cook 3 Albanian dishes and explained the cultural context behind each one. As two young women, we were joined by a group of Belgian men but the atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming we all got on like a house on fire by the end! Couldn't recommend this experience enough! We got plenty of food and a constant stream of alcohol. At the end of the night we were able to take our food home with us, and Dervis even helped us get a taxi! Overall had the best experience and couldn't recommend this enough!

Fabulous - I really enjoyed the Albanian cooking class and learning something of the culture as we cooked and ate. Dervis is a great communicator and he is obviously passionate about what he does. The kitchen is very well equipped - it’s totally delightful. There was a great atmosphere cooking with 11 other participants and learning a bit about them. My only complaint was there’s too much food to eat!!

Authentic Albanian cooking class 👩🏼‍🍳 - This cooking class with Dervis was an absolute highlight! He created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, sharing fascinating insights into Albanian food and culture in a beautifully curated space. The experience was filled with amazing flavors: we tasted authentic Albanian rakia, his delicious homemade marmalade, and learned how to make the best borek I’ve ever had. The hands-on approach made it fun and easy to follow, with plenty of laughs along the way. We left with full stomachs, leftovers, and new cooking skills. Whether you’re a foodie or just curious about Albanian cuisine, this class is a must!

Traditional Albanian Food with Dervis - The cooking class in Tirana was such a great experience! The class was so much fun and the burek we made was on a completely different level compared to anything you can find in the city—simply outstanding. Dervis has a real talent for teaching and a deep love for Albanian cuisine. He made the class fun, engaging, and easy to follow, even if you’re not an experienced cook. If you’re visiting Tirana, I highly recommend this class. It’s a perfect way to spend an evening, enjoy amazing food, and learn more about the Albanian culture.

Fabulous way to learn about Albania! - A wonderful representation of some of Albania's best hits! I particularly enjoyed the prep of Burek as this is served all over the Balkans and I learned how to handle the pastry. I got exactly what I hoped to from this class and highly recommend. Do not come full!

A laugh, a drink, and some fantastic food - Absolutely amazing experience. Would recommend to anyone. Dervis was absolutely fantastic, so entertaining, informative, and friendly. Would go again for the sheer amount of incredibly food, but mainly for a longer conversation with Dervis.
