My wife and I booked this Indian cooking class during our trip to Delhi, and it ended up being one of the absolute standouts of our entire visit. We came in as enthusiastic beginners and left feeling confident, inspired, and genuinely excited to recreate everything at home.
Over the session we cooked five incredible dishes, each packed with flavour yet surprisingly achievable. What really set this class apart were the smart shortcuts, time‑saving techniques, and flavour‑boosting tips woven into every step. Instead of spending all day in the kitchen, we learned how to build authentic Indian depth quickly and efficiently — something we’ll use long after this trip.
The instructor was warm, knowledgeable, and wonderfully patient, creating an atmosphere that felt more like cooking with a friend than attending a class. Every question was welcomed, every step explained, and every dish tasted better than the last.
Whether you’re a confident cook or a complete beginner, this class delivers an unforgettable experience. We walked away with new skills, full stomachs, and a deeper appreciation for Indian cuisine. If you’re visiting Delhi, don’t miss this — it’s worth every minute.

Tastesutra is really a well organized and instructive experience. We have learned the essentials about Indian cousin and I'm looking forward to preparing all the dishes I've learned. The cook knows how to take care of her costumers. She sends you all the receipts and the photos she takes during the course. It was absolutely a great experience!

This was a commercial kitchen space that was run like a home kitchen. It was an intimate cooking class with just a few people. The menu covered different techniques and flavors and recipes that you could easily duplicate at home. We all participated in each dish. Everything of course was delicious and we had a fun time! The class is also in a fun neighborhood that looked very lively on a Saturday night! Recipe recipes were emailed to us before the end of the class. Our teacher was so warm and answered all of our questions.

This was more than just a cooking class, this was a delightful intro into Indian culture through food. Our chef taught us so much about traditional Indian spices and how they can be combined in different ratios to totally change the flavor of a dish, which was so neat to practice and experience first-hand throughout the class. The best part was the group lunch where we got to eat all of the dishes we prepared, which were absolutely delicious! Thank you for a wonderful experience, I can’t wait to re-create these dishes at home!

Bucket list event ticked off. As a person with indian origin and now living in Australia for over 35 years always wondered on the mystery’s and art of cooking
Tastesutra delivered in spades. From entry to end of the experience it was a journey of wonder and excitement
We certainly witnessed great passion and emotion in what the team do
Best use of a 3-4 hours culinary immersion
Highly recommended

It was the best experience I did in my two days in Delhi. The cooking class starts with a deep knowledge of spices and indian cuisine art, but it is also an occasion to learn the indian culture in Delhi. I totally recommend it!
MariePierre_B, Nov 2025
It was a fantastic experience. You learn the basics of Indian cooking, a lot about species. The recipes we did were so delicious and very healthy. I recommend it 100%, you will have a real good time.

Had a fantastic morning learning how to cook authentic Indian dishes which could easily be made at home. The food was yummy. Very friendly people and kitchen was impeccably clean.
Joann_S, May 2025
This was a terrific experience. The cooking teacher gave deep background on the food and the food culture of India. She added stories of her own experience. I can't imagine a better use of my time. My own cooking will benefit from the experience.
I often take cooking classes when I travel and this is the best one yet.
Harry_H, Apr 2025

Stuart_M, Mar 2025
Sonal - thank you so much for such an amazing experience. The recipes showed me that traditional food can be so easy, fresh, and so delicious. I can’t wait to cook these recipes for my family back in the US. Thank you.
Sandra_A, Mar 2025
We chose this class because of the planned menu and the ability to customize our class for the Indian cooking experience- what we experienced was an outstanding personalized experience with a very experienced chef who modified the enough based on our discussions and she guided us to produced a mint chutney that was remarkable ! I would recommend this class to anyone who wants THE best class on Indian cooking in New Delhi. This is a true “ foodie “ chef who will guide any participants from basic skill to professional chef and then sit down and eat your creations with joy!
Grainne_H, Feb 2025
I could not recommend this more! It was an absolute highlight of our entire trip. The recipes were so much fun to make and I learnt so much! Our instructor was clear and fun (and made the best chai!). A wonderful cooking class in general but a masterclass for Indian cuisine. Thank you!
Adam_S, Jan 2025
Awesome experience! The host and staff are all amazing people. They are great at explaining each step and just good warmhearted people. They offer a follow on tour to the market that we wish we would have booked. The host gave us some recommendations on places to see in Delhi that were all much better than the normal places on all the tourist lists.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Hi,
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled you had such a positive experience and found the recommendations helpful. We’d love to welcome you back for the market tour next time!

Enjoyed an amazing private culinary experience. I was looking for an immersive experience to learn about local cuisine while my husband was at business meetings. Learned about many new ingredients and cooking techniques. You receive an email of the recipes afterward so you can replicate the food at home. I would definitely recommend this class as a must do experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and my meal.

I had the most amazing experience at this cooking class! I learned so much and I feel so confident cooking the new recipes I learned!
Terence_B, Nov 2023
This cooking class was simply amazing. We learnt a lot about spices and Indian food. Everything that we prepared was absolutely delicious and was really nice to have the opportunity to put less chili in the dishes. We cooked everything by ourselves and we didn't simply watch. It's an experience that i recommend to everyone.
