Wonderful evening - cooking, laughing and learning new techniques. Maria was ready for us with cutting boards and knives for each person, a lovely jug of lemonade and the perfect kitchen layout. Under Maria's supervision, we prepared dinner and ate on the terrace. A real must for the home chef looking for a unique experience.

A fantastic way to spend a night in Amman, our host Maria was excellent making sure everybody was involved and had a hand in every dish and she didn't even make us wash up at the end! A lovely experience topped off by being named Chef of the night, woo hoo!! Best to get the address written down in Arabic... More

This is well worth the cost - either in private or as a group. You will have an enjoyable evening preparing a 4-course dinner of your choice, and then eating it! Expect the taxi driver to get lost and leave at least 30 minutes to get there. What a memorable evening! Visit their Facebook page for pictures.

I had a great time at Beit Sitti! The hosts and chefs were wonderful and very friendly. They made the traditional Arabic dishes seem easy to cook and provide the recipes afterwards. I would highly recommend this to anyone who visits Amman and who wants to experience the homemade food that can be difficult to find in a restaurant.

Beit sitti offers a very exciting and unique experience.. It's an activity that can be shared with family, friends and even strangers. Being able to learn cooking a traditional dish and then dining on the terrace in old Amman along with the entertaining host makes the whole experience complete.. Highly recommended for tourists and residents of Amman
