Jackie G2024-04-12Excellent, informative and fun cookery class. Great evening, very well organised, and learned loads while having a lot of fun. Three hours really well spent and great value for money. The kitchen was spotlessly clean with plenty of space for the 6 people in our class. Fantastic food, including the best butter chicken ever, and fabulous palek paneer and tarka dhal. A great use of one evening on holiday, and we'd highly recommend it.Verified

Kate Lewis2024-04-01A fun and upbeat evening of cooking five authentic and delicious Indian dishes with attention to my vegan diet requests. Everything is provided from the best ingredients to the cook stations for a hands on experience. Sitting down to eat together and savour our dishes with our fresh chapatis was very satisfying. Rahul is a great teacher and lovely and encouraging to everyone and of course, the recipes to take the taste home are yours to ensure practice makes perfect.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
