So much fun with Najia and family - Najia’s cooking is wonderful and hanging out in her kitchen is so much fun! She is a really warm person to spend time with and her son and daughter are also both delightful (as well as speaking fantastic English which is very helpful). This is a meal not to be forgotten!

Feeling at home & enjoying Moroccan food & hospitality - The meals with Abdou & Najia & Ghita in Fes were the highlight of our stay in Morocco. Their warmth & generosity were extraordinary & the food was excellent - delicious, fresh & savory. The dinners were filled with lively conversation & wonderful stories & tips about Moroccan history & culture. This is the best way to learn about & experience Morocco.

Memorable and tasty to the point that you may soon be coming back for seconds - You're going to have a lovely time with this family, trust me! Lovely conversation in English abounds in this home along with some bits and pieces of Darija along the way if you're so keen to learn. And the food that you've come for, of course, is stellar - I think this kind of home-cooked meal is the ideal preparation for Moroccan cuisine. Strongly recommend eating, sharing stories, and sipping tea here. Very likely you may come back for seconds!

An extraordinary family experience - I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional customer service I received from [abdlwahed and ghita] . Their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to ensuring my needs were met exceeded my expectations.
[Abdelwahed] went above and beyond to assist me with my inquiries, providing clear and detailed information, and ensuring that I was completely satisfied with the resolution. Their friendly and courteous demeanor made the entire experience a pleasure, and I felt truly valued as a customer.
I believe that the level of service provided by ghita is a true reflection of the high standards your company upholds. I will not hesitate to recommend your services to others based on the positive experience I had with abdo. Thank you for employing such an outstanding individual who consistently delivers exceptional customer service.

Wonderful hosts, delicious food, highly recommend! - What a lovely family! Ghita and Abdou both speak wonderful English, so I could chat away with them about so many topics, it was fascinating and also we had a good laugh along the way—often (in my case) through mouthfuls of truly delicious food. Najiya’s cooking is divine! And she was very patient with me trying out my beginner Moroccan Arabic with her! Highly highly recommend this experience. So much better than a restaurant!
