An incredible experience all around! We scheduled a dinner as part of our team retreat - the house, the food, the wine pairings were all delicious and beautiful! Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: Mo was able to accomodate our dietary needs (some vegan, some with no dietary restrictions.)

Such a wonderful experience! Our party of 5 was a warm family birthday dinner for my father along with his teenage grandkids. Really lovely setting, enjoyable host, and delicious food.

This was truly a memorable experience and highly recommended. The interior of the house took my breath away. The art work is stunning and the refurbishing of the 1890s house is simply beautiful. The food, served over a 3 hour period (Mohammed is the soul chef and owner) was delicious and quite different from most Middle Eastern food I have had before. Moreover, Mohammed is friendly and kind and interested in all of his guests. An extraordinarily wonderful evening.

We had a charming 3 hours with Mo in his beautiful home with good friends as he wove together sensory rich stories from his childhood in Cairo with cooking lessons while answering all of our many questions about the restoration and decoration of amazing home. Mo created an atmosphere of mutual sharing. And food and beverages were fabulous. This was a delightful gift from out-of-state friends.

Mo catered a dinner for 18 people to celebrate my Mother's 85th birthday party. The food was delicious, all the guests raved about it and cleaned their plates.

The planning process was very easy, and Mo was very responsive, reliable, and really easy to work with throughout. A very nice guy with great food and great energy!

Not just great food, a GREAT EXPERIENCE!

We were visiting from out of town and my brother made reservations here. OMG - what a fabulous treat. Mo is friendly, gracious, hospitable and talented in the kitchen. I would highly recommend this and already plan to include it in my next trip to the Twin Cities.

DervishMazza is not a restaurant. It’s a memorable food experience that the charming and lovable Mo puts on all by himself in his backyard. Raised in Egypt, and with a passion for cooking shaped in France and New York City, Mo is the real deal. His dishes are Middle Eastern/Mediterranean specialties, many being vegetarian and vegan.

The hospitality and absolutely delicious food was amazing. A truly unique dining experience. I would recommend to anyone who loves dining out and good food. Will definitely go again.

This is a unique and fantastic dining experience that, for the right group or person, will provide a meal/night out you won't forget. There's just too much here to cover in one review, but if you love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine, are open to a curated food adventure from a talented chef and incredibly hospitable host, and want to enjoy the warmth of a good meal in a comfortable home setting with the ease and pacing of a few hours to relish and delight in, then you're a great fit for this evening.

Vegetarian options: Outside of the main course you'll find the other courses mostly vegetarian, and the host seems open to accommodating dietary restrictions or requests.

Dietary restrictions: The host was very open to understanding people's dietary restrictions or allergies, but considering this is a set menu, you'll need to do your part and be upfront ahead of time.
