You eat authentic food, no need to wash up, and can chip in with lots of questions as chef is teaching. And all the recipes are sent to you. Good value and left having learnt muchPosted onVerified Great fun and delicious food. We had a lovely 3 hours cooking and eating. Sonia led the group and was funny and informative.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my second tine at Rahuls. This time the class was led by his wife and we had an excellent session. Thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt how to make a variety of dishes which we then got to eat at the end. Food was amazing. There was 4 in our group and only ever do a maximum of 8 so classes are not crowded. Would definitely recommend and will come again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This cooking class was the best! Rahul and his team are so friendly.

The food was incredible - a real testament to Rahul's skill and knowledge :)Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing and fun. Rahul is an excellent teacherPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had seen a sign in town about Rahul's classes and was curious. Then I stumbled upon it while lost and stopped to inquire; Sonia was super helpful and had me booked for a class the next morning. Class was excellent and offered everything I think a good cooking class should: strong focus on basic principles (we learned base preparation, spice specifics, and answered the mystery of the difference between chapati and roti!), variety of dishes (we cooked palak paneer, dal tadka, jeera aloo, prawn xacuti, and chapati, and had ample opportunity to ask individual questions (which I did constantly). Sonis was a lovely host, good teacher, genuine, and hilarious. Pace was great and worked for everybody in the group despite different levels of experience. Food was incredible and we had plenty of time to comfortly enjoy. The price is great, the venue well-equipped, and staff helpful. Can't recommend enough.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant cooking class , we loved it.
