Nabiel's Vienna Cooking Class

Potato salad and wiener schnitzel were delicious. The reason for a less than satisfactory review:
Covid measures described in tour specifics were not observed: no face masks or hand sanitizer were provided. For a hands-on cooking class we expected to wash our hands upon arrival and repeatedly wash hands. Cleanliness/sanitation was not a priority. Chef Michael said his allergies were a factor in his coughing. He did not wear a mask.

We were promised the recipes via email and never received them. Nabel was short tempered and the kitchen was filthy. To boot we were charged €150 for the experience. Very disappointing to say the least

Dinner was served at 9pm. Food was good. He did call us a taxi at the end of the ending. He was not feeling well and should have probably cancelled the class. Kitchen was very messy and stovetop was very greasy and dirty. Ask about washing our hands and he told us to not worry about it, because food would be cooked at a temp that would kill the bacteria. He could improve his handwashing skills.

Loved the cooking class - fun and informative! Food and hospitality were top notch and learning how to make the food was helpful!

Sadly we were very sick and had to cx last minute… Nabiel was incredibly sweet about it as was Viator! Ty. And we shall return

This was a FANTASTIC experience for our family (2 adults and 2 teenagers). Nabiel
was a great host in his very own home, joking with the kids and sharing many many tidbits and advice for cooking and our trip as a whole. We will go again if we are ever back in Vienna and have already recommended his class to friends!

Nabiel was a wonderful host and fun be around. He shared some great tips on making Schnitzel and Strudel. Food and wine was great. Do wish we were able to tour the market. Other than, all was great!

This class was definitely the highlight of our time in Vienna! Being the foodies my husband and I are we booked this cooking class to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. Nabiel is very knowledgable on food, cooking, and culture-he even gave us some great recommendations to escape the heat wave (and even bought an air conditioner to ensure the comfort of his students!). We lucked out and had a 'private' class where we made the best schnitzel I've ever had, Kaserschmaarn, and mind-blowing potato salad. Everything was super authentic too. We had an amazing time and could not recommend this class enough! Thanks Nabiel!

Most memorable and enjoyable experience of our 3 weeks in Europe traveling! We loved being welcomed into Nabiel’s home; it’s just so comforting to cook and share a meal with people when we are away from home. We shared our cooking class with two teenaged sisters, a mother and her son, and myself and my 12 year old son. They were all lovely people with lively conversation. Nabiel made us laugh and shared so much of his life with us; within a few minutes you don’t feel like you’re among strangers-more like new friends!

Yes, museums and city walks are great-it’s why many people travel…BUT this was better than anything like that!

The food and drinks were generous in portion sizing (too much for us to eat we took a baggy to go and are now eating leftovers on the train the next day).

BOOK NOW-you will not be disappointed!!

Fun time, learned alot....laughed more!!! Great chef and host and the other guests were great. Nice closing night to Vienna.

Nabiel was a superb host! Very knowledgeable, funny and a really great chef! He took into account how much experience the participants already had in cooking and baking. Since we wanted to try the Sacher cake, he was willing to bake it in the middle of the summer when it was already very hot. He did a vegetarian schnitzel for me as I do not eat meat. The best cooking class we ever had!

You must book time with Nabiel if you have a desire to spend an evening in a random assortment of interesting and intimate company, wish to have your most excellent food infused with humor and leave a little more learned than when you arrived! 😊 absolutely the highlight of 3 weeks in this city! And a schnitzel recipe to take home! The BEST!

Learned a lot about Viennese cooking and history. We sat and chatted for hours. Small group, we had another couple and a solo traveler join us, we made new friends.

We really enjoyed learning how to make authentic schnitzel. Nabiel showed us all his cooking techniques and explained why his techniques will guarantee a “crispy as hell” schnitzel every time. Definitely the best schnitzel in Vienna, can’t wait to try it at home. Thanks Nabeil 🇦🇹❤️

Wow! Nabiel is a character, be prepared for a very fun cooking experience. We were warmly greeted into his home for an evening of learning, cooking, and laughing. I now can make schnitzel as well as an Austrian and for that I am thankful. Nabiel is very knowledgeable about Vienna, culture, cuisine, and history. The wine starts flowing as soon as you walk in, so be prepared. When I am back in Vienna, I will look forward to booking another cooking course with Nabiel so that I can enhance my Austrian recipes even further.

Nabiel gives you not just a cooking lesson but also the history of the foods we prepared so we get the context. Also he is rather funny and made us feel very comfortable in the class. He also provided us with a couple of bottles of Prosecco and Chardonnay to accompany the meal. At the end he gave us some tips of places to visit in Vienna to eat delicious Viennese treats. We visited 3 of 4 and those were on the money. I highly recommend this experience and I now know how to prepare a great schnitzel and Apfel Strudel!!!

What an experience. In a little pad, quite crowded but with a great story, learning to make great schnitzel and apple strudel in small environment. Shared with another couple plus our adult son. Very engaging and educational, fun and funny. Food was great. Could have washed hands, but I’m sure germs died in cooking! Would recommend to all ages! Thanks!
