Fun! Worth it. But also a bit disorganized. When we arrived, the woman in charge was going around frantically confused that so many people signed up. The cook in the kitchen would really rather not do “class” and would rather just cook herself. Hahaha. But all 3 of my kids got hands on cooking and got to see what it was like in a real kitchen. They made noodles from scratch, which they loved. And they were given hats as presents after they ate the Lagman they made. So it was great in the end. Would recommend.

Dear Alex, Thank you so much for your review, and sorry for the confusion. It was lovely to have your family over, thank you very much for coming. Take care and all the best, Aigul

We made layman together which was interesting. I had never been to a cooking class before so assumed they would make and we would watch. It was nice to actually do it ourselves

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed making layman and appreciated the hands-on experience. Our goal is to create an interactive and engaging environment where everyone can learn by doing, so it's great to know that the class exceeded your expectations. We hope to welcome you back for another cooking adventure soon!

The class is well priced and was absolutely delicious! It’s a hands on cooking class with mama chef guiding you proper techniques on how to make this dish! The excellent things for us was having an English translator and stepping us through everything. I’d highly recommend doing the class, Im really looking forward to sharing and recreating this dish when I’m home! Now we can take a taste of Kyrgyzstan with us and have wonderful memories when eating it!
