We had a lovely time with Sharda, and learned to make a few delicious Indian classics, including chapati, paratha, dal tadka, allo payaz, rice pudding and chai tea. The food was delicious and Sharda and her family were very welcoming. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

Great experience

Madie_S, Jan 2024

We absolutely loved our cooking class! Revina was so lovely and speaks English really well. She has a nice kitchen and is super clean! We felt very welcome. She told us step by step what we were doing and why, and gave us time to ask questions etc. and, most importantly the meal was delicious!!! I cannot wait to make this at home! Thankyou

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you Madie for the review.

Slightly disappointing

Ross_L, Nov 2023

Overall, we were slightly disappointed with our experience. We were pleased with the driver pick up / drop off which was a nice touch, and the host was very friendly throughout the experience. We really enjoyed the recipes and the food; however we were a bit disappointed that the host didn't involve us much in the actual cooking (we chopped a few vegetables and then mostly watched) and we weren't given the recipes afterwards, even though the host said she would. We paid a decent amount of money without getting to actually do much so in this case, we wouldn't recommend.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for the review. We will share your concerns to the host.

Interesting cooking evening

sarah_h, Oct 2023

Fun and enjoyable experience. Would have liked a drink on arrival. Family all lovely and made us feel welcome.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for the review.

Okay, but way too expensive for what you get

Franziska_G, Mar 2023

The people were really nice and friendly and made us feel very welcome. For 2100 INR pp. we got to cook only one meal. The cooking class was more like “how to cut an onion” or “how to use a knife” and not really much about Indian spices or speciality since they couldn’t really understand us and vice versa. The whole family was there and watched us cook and eat which was lovely at first but also a bit irritating because the husband wanted to film every step we did. A little bit exhausting. Overall great people but maybe more dishes, more English skills so we can ask more and less photos/videos..? Also it would’ve been nice if we went to the market together and they explained us a bit about the ingredients. Adding to that a little recipe to take home would have also been great to cook the food we learned, at home.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Franziska, We keep this review to improve the class. It was Holi festival in the evening - Our original cooking host has cancelled the booking at the last moment due to holi festival so we need to shift you to another class. The class don't include the market tour as we only organize cooking class only at the host house. The activity is for 3 hours only. If we add market tour it will add additional 1 hours. If you request us in advance we can arrange it too. we will keep this review to improve things.

Great Experience

Josh_M, Mar 2023

Great experience! Homemade food. Incredibly clean kitchen. Not commercialized. Felt right at home! Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely experience, delicious food

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you Shanda for the review.

Great food, great company, would do it again.

Patrick_D, Dec 2022

I had a wonderful time with Sharda and her family. It was a joy experiencing the food and culture with a family. Sharda was a patient teacher and taught me to make several dishes. We made two vegetarian dishes (tomato and chickpeas, and mixed vegetables), rice pudding for dessert, masala tea, and of course roti. The food was delicious. I will definitely try and make these at home. For this who are from the West and may be concerned about the food upsetting your stomach, I had no issues what so ever. Rest assured, you will be fine. Like many people I met in India the pandemic changed their lives. Sharda and her family used to run a home stay or B&N type place, but had to stop doing that once COVID took over. She hasn’t been able to get it up and running since.

Thank you Peter for the review.

Wonderful, warm experience

Charles_S, Feb 2020

Our host was extremely friendly and explained key principals of Indian cooking. This is a class for having a family meal experience and learning grandmother techniques, which was exactly what we wanted.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thank you Charles for the review. We had such wonderful time with you in the program.

Great food, wonderful family!

mitchjones, Jan 2020

Thank you Mitch for the review.

Fantastic experience!

Alexia_S, Oct 2019

Great communication with the host from the time of booking. Sukret picked my Auntie and myself up as agreed and he was very friendly. His family including the children is charming and Mama is a fantastic cook... showing us how to make many different dishes...all equally delicious. We were made to feel very welcomed and I would defo recommend this tour for an authentic indian cooking experience.
