Learning to make anything with new people creates a unique bond between people. Instead of only the feeling of just travelling in a city, you get to feel to be a part of the city and culture at its highest.

We try to make people have these feelings through creative at-home experiences. Because we believe that feeling at home and being made feel at home creates a very genuine bond.

Çiğ köfte, a very traditional Southeastern Turkish dish, fits to what we try at LokalBond. Çiğ köfte got popular as being a Turkish vegeterian street food. However, in reality, it is a home food where a lot of people gathers and watches it being prepared. At this experience, you will be a part of the cooking team and knead Çiğ Köfte with locals. Then throw it to the ceilings to see if it sticks to see its stiffness. This is also a part of the tradition, but of course we won't do it due to hygiene reasons.

Come, join us at our home for an original Çiğ Köfte session. Come as a guest, leave as a friend!

Cần Quan Tâm

Çiğ Köfte is one of the most popular street food in Turkey. However, originally, Çiğ Köfte has a very authentic and traditional concept of cooking. As a southeastern dish from the city Urfa, Çiğ Köfte kneading is organised with big groups of people where some of the people would knead the Çiğ Köfte and the rest would play and sing music behind. At this experience, you will come visit us at our home. We will start with describing the ingredients and special spices of Çiğ Köfte. Although we aim to teach you how to prepare Çiğköfte, the better thing we aim is to teach you the concept, the tradition and culture of Çiğköfte. After warming up and making you actually feel at home, we will sit together and start kneading Çiğköfte together, as much as you wish to participate. There is various jokes and ways of testing the taste and the intensity of Çiğköfte. Of course, we will keep them to tell during our time together.

This experience made us feel like we were preparing and sharing dinner with friends. Perfect if you are feeling a little homesick like I was, or want to meet exceptionally friendly locals and eat delicious homemade food. We learned things about Istanbul and Turkey that we otherwise wouldn’t have. 10/10 would recommend this experience, with traditional music too!

This is a very unique experience to connect with locals, learn about food, music, culture and daily life in Istanbul! Burak and his friends were wonderful and made me feel at home from the moment I walked in. Preparing Çiğ Köfte was a experience in itself and the music and talks made it even more special. Istanbul has many wonderful sights but this type of experience goes much deeper to connect with the city you are visiting and its people.

Hospitality at its best! The other guests and I were warmly welcomed and right from the start I felt like I was visiting friends. It was fun to make cig kofte together and to eat together, to listen to traditional music and to dance! I highly recommend this activity to anyone whose heart is open to new experience.

One of the best, if not the best, experiences I’ve ever had. Bushra, Burak and Bawer were the sweetest people I’ve ever met before. There was never a dull moment, so many conversations you’d feel you’re sitting with friends you’ve known for a long time. Cooking class with traditional music is definitely something to have on your bucket list when you come to Istanbul. Highly recommended. ÇigKofte was so good.
