Every class I teach, I open with the same icebreaker: "Where's the best place you've eaten?"
Within seconds, the chat fills up. Students from Lagos, Berlin, Bangalore, São Paulo, Tokyo — all sharing a single favorite spot, unprompted, with a specificity no algorithm can replicate.
What started as a way to warm up a Zoom room became something I couldn't stop thinking about. These weren't reviews. They were confessions — the places people actually go when no one is watching.
So I kept asking. Class after class. Thousands of recommendations later, the atlas is still growing.
A short list of standouts in each city — pulled straight from real recommendations. Tap any card to open it on the map.
Every recommendation on Foodie started the same way — at the end of a free teaching session, someone told me about the place they can't stop thinking about.
A few unedited words from people who've sat through my classes — engineers, PMs, and leaders building real things with AI.
I have taken both the Building LLM application and the Advanced LLM application Building course by Hamza. The things that differentiate Hamza's course from others are: Focus on building a strong foundation - Hamza helps you understand the foundational things in GenAI which helps in building critical thinking and analys…
I had the opportunity to complete Hamza’s Agent Engineering Bootcamp: Developers Edition, and it has been one of the most rewarding and structured learning experiences I’ve attended in the GenAI/Agentic AI space. The curriculum is exceptionally well-designed — starting with foundational concepts like Enterprise RAGs a…
Great course and supportive teachers - I made the right choice. Over the last 8 weeks I've accelerated my agentic capabilities significantly, and I can point to real work and prototypes to prove it.…
The Advanced LLM Application Building course, conducted by Hamza Farooq, was truly amazing in numerous ways!!! I delved deeper into the architecture of Large Language Models (LLMs), becoming able to code, build, and deploy LLM-powered Products in a scalable way.

I debated a lot whether I should enrol in this course. There are a few great courses on Maven, so the decision was not easy. I finally decided to enrol, but with the thought that I would maybe ask for a refund in the first week if I didn't like it. But I got hooked right away by the friendly and accessible explanations…
The course is meticulously structured, encompassing contemporary insights into foundational AI models, including NLP and Generative AI. These complex subjects are elucidated in an accessible manner, supplemented by pertinent scholarly articles and research papers. Further, the course furnishes learners with notebook c…
This is the best foundational course for building LLM applications that I've taken. The course strikes a good balance of not being overly technical in terms of code, so someone with a business or non-technical background can definitely learn a lot. Coming from a technical background myself, I wondered why Hamza didn't…
Cut Through the Noise — Practical, Clear, and Valuable I couldn’t recommend this course more highly. Building Gen AI Agents for Enterprise: Beyond the Hype, taught by Hamza, truly delivers on its promise. In a world flooded with AI buzzwords, this course stood out by cutting through all the noise and getting straight…
Join a free class — bring your laptop, leave with a working project. All I ask in return is the name of the place you can't stop thinking about.
