Unforgettable evening with Nani and her husband. The recipe is delicious, authentic and simple enough for a foreigner to comprehend. Feels like having a cooking dinner party at a friend or family’s house, with laughter, good food, unique cooking experience and great chats!

Namita and her husband are gracious hosts, welcoming you into their home and lives. Namita is an excellent chef and teacher eager to share her expertise and love of Indian cooking. If you value authentic travel experiences, you do not want to miss this one. We are a group of 3 friends, aged 24 to 65 and all agreed that if could’ve given this experience 10 stars we would’ve.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Dear Beth,
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It was truly a joy welcoming you and your friends into our home. We loved your enthusiasm, curiosity, and the wonderful energy you brought to the experience.
I’m so glad the cooking, conversations, and shared moments felt authentic and memorable for all three of you. Hearing that you would have given it 10 stars means the world to us!
You’re always welcome back in our kitchen whenever you return to India. Until then, wishing you many delicious adventures ahead.
Warm regards,
Namita & Nishit

What a fun day with Namita and Nishit. We started with a visit to the market which was half the fun, great colours and characters and interesting fruit and veggies. Then a few hours of great fun cooking, stirring, muddling, chatting, laughing and generally having a lovely afternoon. The food we shared was sensational (all the better for feeling we had at least a hand in it). Thoroughly recommended if you want a cooking experience rather than just a demonstration.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We absolutely loved spending the day with you — from exploring the lively market to cooking, chatting, laughing, and creating a meal together.
The market walk is one of our favourite parts too, and it makes us so happy that you enjoyed the colours, the people, and all the little discoveries along the way.
Cooking with you was such a delight, and we’re thrilled that you enjoyed every moment of the hands-on experience. The dishes truly become special when they’re prepared together, and we’re glad you felt that joy as well.
Thank you for choosing a full cooking experience with us and for sharing your kind words. You made our afternoon memorable too, and we hope to welcome you back whenever you’re in Bengaluru again!
Warm regards,
Namita & Nishit

I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves Indian food and is looking learn more about the foods and spices that make it so delicious. What made it even more special was the time we spent getting to know Namita and her husband. Truly a wonderful day.

What a fantastic experience. We were made to feel right at home from the start, and the recipes we cooked were delicious. Not only that, but we were provided with great guidance as to where we should be looking for spices to take home. Our host also provided us with full recipes and ingredients to make again at home. Thanks for an unforgettable night!

Namita and her husband were such a lovely couple. They were so gracious and welcoming — my friends and I wanted to chat with them for hours, and it instantly felt like we had known them forever. We joined Namita for an early dinner cooking lesson and got so caught up in conversation that we had to remind ourselves that we wanted to go to the market!
It was truly wonderful being able to visit the market with a local and learn about the different fruit and veggies they have that we hadn't seen or tried before. Namita walked us through what everything was and how they usually cook with it, and I was really grateful to be able to experience it.
Everything was super organized — we had our own little recipe packet to follow along so we could make everything together and make it ourselves once we got home. Namita prepared a vegetarian menu for us and it included everything we could ever hope for — a dal, paneer curry, roti, chapati, dosa, sauteed vegetables, naan (she had prepared some dough, but we already had so much food we didn't make this one), rice. I mean, just look at the pictures — everything turned out wonderfully and was so delicious.
They were extremely kind and generous and offered to take us to a store nearby so we could buy one of the utensils they used in the kitchen (a dosa flipper). Namita was also so sweet and continued to share tips and places to go throughout my stay in India. What a lovely human.
I would do this 1,000 more times and not get tired of it. I've already recommended it to several of my friends who were staying in India a bit longer than I was.
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Sharing our local cuisine and culture with guests like you is something we truly enjoy, and knowing that you had a wonderful time and felt welcomed means a lot to us.
If you ever find yourself back in India or if any of your friends decide to visit, please don't hesitate to reach out. We'd love to welcome you again and share more of our favorite dishes and places to explore.
Thank you for choosing to spend your time with us and for recommending our experience to others. It means the world to us!
Kindly excuse me for the late reply.
Warm regards and much love

Then, we were going back their house, enjoyed cooking for local Indian food kind of like biryani and dosa. they have deep knowledge about cooking and their kitchen is so clean. We learned a lot of things, enjoyed talking with them. Thank your kindness and great hospitality.

Namita was a wonderful host providing a very unique experience for the culinary-minded traveler. We went to a local market where we learned about the various vegetables, grains, fruits, and spices which are stapes of Indian cooking. At Namita's home, we cooked a variety of dishes including homemade flatbreads (roti, chapati, pharatha), a green chicken korma, and dal tadka. It felt very special to get this authentic slice of Bangalore life and the final dinner was so tasty!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Dear Nick,
Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to share your experience! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the culinary adventure we embarked on together. It was a pleasure to have you join me on the journey through Bangalore's local market and our cooking session at my home.
I believe that the heart of Indian cuisine lies in the variety of spices, vegetables, and grains, and it's wonderful to know that you found the insights into these ingredients enriching.
It's my passion to showcase the authentic flavors and techniques of Indian cooking, and your appreciation makes it all the more rewarding.
I'm delighted that you relished the homemade flatbreads, green chicken korma, and dal tadka we prepared. Sharing these traditional dishes with you was a highlight for me, and it's fantastic to hear that you found the final dinner so tasty.
Your kind words and enthusiasm are what make hosting such a joy. I hope this experience added a unique and memorable touch to your time in Bangalore, and if you ever find yourself in the city again, please know that you are always welcome to join me for another culinary adventure.
Thank you once again for choosing my experience, and I wish you many more delicious culinary explorations in your travels!
