We had a wonderful time at this class! Zayed’s walking tour was so informative and we loved being welcomed into one of the beautiful houses in the neighborhood. And the food was amazing!! Definitely don’t skip this opportunity in Cape Town. ❤️
The absolute best part of our trip to Cape Town, do not miss this!! We did the spice shop and a couple of stops Cultural Tour and learned a lot of facsinating history of the Area. Zayed was a fantastic quide and knowledgeable and invited My Wife and myself into their home. Zoelfaa (Zayed’s sister) led us for the cooking class at her home. We made a vegetarian curry, rooti, samoosas, and dhaaltjies (chilli bites)… all typical Cape Malay foods. I love to cook and I learned some very cool tips. I recomend this experiance to anyone visiting Capetown it was one of my most memorable experience.
I first did this tour and cooking class 10 years ago with Zainie Misbach, so I was excited to return and see how it had evolved. It’s so nice to see the company now being run by Zainie’s children since she’s retired (but is still very much present during the class). Zainie’s son, Zayed, did a fantastic job welcoming us and taking us around the Bo-Kaap neighborhood before handing us over to Zainie’s daughter, Munowarah, who led the cooking portion. Overall it was a lovely time and would highly recommend.
My daughter and I did this cooking tour. We really loved it! Zayed was very friendly and shared a lot of info on the background of the area and also food/spices. Then to be welcomed into their home for the cooking side of the tour adds a very personal touch. Would recommend.
Highly recommend the Bo Kaap Cooking Tour. The ever so fun, welcoming hosts Zainie, Zayed and Zoelfaa heartwarming guidance through wonderful Malay spices, history, cooking skills and culture. Rolling our own Roti, filling and folding somoosas and more. A wonderful time was had by all !
