Highly recommend this authentic Indian cooking class in Jaipur. It felt like being welcomed into someone’s home rather than attending a class. We enjoyed a delicious home-cooked meal with the best chai, learned how to make fresh homemade paneer, and finished with a wonderful dessert. Hygiene standards were excellent, explanations were clear in perfect English, and I genuinely learned a lot. A highlight of our time in Jaipur.

Wonderful home cooking

Sabrina_D, Feb 2026

I had such a wonderful experience at this home cooking Indian class. It felt warm, welcoming, and incredibly hands-on from start to finish. We learned to make a beautiful variety of dishes, including soft, freshly made chapatis, comforting dhal, flavourful vegetable dishes, and a deliciously creamy rice pudding. One of the highlights was learning how to make authentic chai from scratch. Everything was explained clearly, with lots of tips about spices, techniques, and how to balance flavours properly. It was relaxed, friendly, and perfect for all skill levels.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for your beautiful review! 😊 We are truly happy to hear that you had such a warm and hands-on experience at our home cooking class. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed learning to make fresh chapatis, comforting dhal, flavorful vegetable dishes, creamy rice pudding, and of course authentic chai from scratch. Sharing traditional Indian recipes, spices, and cooking techniques is something we love doing, and we’re so glad you felt welcomed and comfortable throughout the class. We hope you continue making these dishes at home and remember your time in India every time you prepare them! You are always welcome back to cook with us again. 🇮🇳✨

Worth a Try

Gordon_S, Mar 2025

From meeting our host/teacher, she made us very welcome and put us at ease. We made three dishes and were involved the preparation of each. The result was great and the food tasted excellent. Would recommend to others.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you Gordon for the review.

Great experience all around

Patrick_F, Mar 2025

Really great experience. I did the yoga session beforehand and it was comfortable and pleasant and I learned a lot. Mr. Ashok's many years of experience are inspiring. Then Shanda's cooking class was also splendid and we chatted the whole time about cooking and life. The provided transportation was efficient and convenient.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you Patrick for the review.

The yoga instructor uncle...

Gagandeep_C, Dec 2024

The yoga instructor uncle is awesome!! Hospitality of their family is great and he is a great teacher! Raveena is a great teacher and cook! Super easy to talk to and both families are extremely hospitable! Would recommend taking this class!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you gagandeep for the review.

Amazing

Claudia_F, Nov 2024

Amazing experience! We prepared a delicious traditional meal from the start until the end! We also have the opportunity to met and talk with all family and they were super nice to us. I really recommend

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you Claudia for the review.

Wonderful home cooking class!

Rebecca_R, Aug 2024

We absolutely loved our cooking experience! Raveena was so welcoming into her home and made sure all of us were involved in the process. The food was amazing and we had a perfect time!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you Rebecca for the review.

Wonderful Evening Cooking!

Connur_W, Aug 2024

We had an amazing evening with Raveena in her home! She was so knowledgeable about the Rajasthani food we were cooking, including us in every step, explaining the spices and history and making us feel very welcome. The food was so delicious! I feel like I could try to make this again at home but will have to take some local spices with me. Thank you Raveena!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for the review.

Great experience

Madie_S, Jan 2024

We absolutely loved our cooking class! Revina was so lovely and speaks English really well. She has a nice kitchen and is super clean! We felt very welcome. She told us step by step what we were doing and why, and gave us time to ask questions etc. and, most importantly the meal was delicious!!! I cannot wait to make this at home! Thankyou

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you Madie for the review.

Slightly disappointing

Ross_L, Nov 2023

Overall, we were slightly disappointed with our experience. We were pleased with the driver pick up / drop off which was a nice touch, and the host was very friendly throughout the experience. We really enjoyed the recipes and the food; however we were a bit disappointed that the host didn't involve us much in the actual cooking (we chopped a few vegetables and then mostly watched) and we weren't given the recipes afterwards, even though the host said she would. We paid a decent amount of money without getting to actually do much so in this case, we wouldn't recommend.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for the review. We will share your concerns to the host.

Interesting cooking evening

sarah_h, Oct 2023

Fun and enjoyable experience. Would have liked a drink on arrival. Family all lovely and made us feel welcome.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for the review.

Okay, but way too expensive for what you get

Franziska_G, Mar 2023

The people were really nice and friendly and made us feel very welcome. For 2100 INR pp. we got to cook only one meal. The cooking class was more like “how to cut an onion” or “how to use a knife” and not really much about Indian spices or speciality since they couldn’t really understand us and vice versa. The whole family was there and watched us cook and eat which was lovely at first but also a bit irritating because the husband wanted to film every step we did. A little bit exhausting. Overall great people but maybe more dishes, more English skills so we can ask more and less photos/videos..? Also it would’ve been nice if we went to the market together and they explained us a bit about the ingredients. Adding to that a little recipe to take home would have also been great to cook the food we learned, at home.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Franziska, We keep this review to improve the class. It was Holi festival in the evening - Our original cooking host has cancelled the booking at the last moment due to holi festival so we need to shift you to another class. The class don't include the market tour as we only organize cooking class only at the host house. The activity is for 3 hours only. If we add market tour it will add additional 1 hours. If you request us in advance we can arrange it too. we will keep this review to improve things.

Great Experience

Josh_M, Mar 2023

Great experience! Homemade food. Incredibly clean kitchen. Not commercialized. Felt right at home! Would recommend to anyone.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you for the review.

Lovely experience, delicious food

Shanda_D, Jan 2023

We had a lovely time with Sharda, and learned to make a few delicious Indian classics, including chapati, paratha, dal tadka, allo payaz, rice pudding and chai tea. The food was delicious and Sharda and her family were very welcoming. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you Shanda for the review.

Great food, great company, would do it again.

Patrick_D, Dec 2022

I had a wonderful time with Sharda and her family. It was a joy experiencing the food and culture with a family. Sharda was a patient teacher and taught me to make several dishes. We made two vegetarian dishes (tomato and chickpeas, and mixed vegetables), rice pudding for dessert, masala tea, and of course roti. The food was delicious. I will definitely try and make these at home. For this who are from the West and may be concerned about the food upsetting your stomach, I had no issues what so ever. Rest assured, you will be fine. Like many people I met in India the pandemic changed their lives. Sharda and her family used to run a home stay or B&N type place, but had to stop doing that once COVID took over. She hasn’t been able to get it up and running since.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you Peter for the review.

Wonderful, warm experience

Charles_S, Feb 2020

Our host was extremely friendly and explained key principals of Indian cooking. This is a class for having a family meal experience and learning grandmother techniques, which was exactly what we wanted.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thank you Charles for the review. We had such wonderful time with you in the program.

Great food, wonderful family!

mitchjones, Jan 2020

I learned how to cook some traditional Indian dishes. The family was warm and welcoming and the meal was delicious. This was a great experience!

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thank you Mitch for the review.

Fantastic experience!

Alexia_S, Oct 2019

Great communication with the host from the time of booking. Sukret picked my Auntie and myself up as agreed and he was very friendly. His family including the children is charming and Mama is a fantastic cook... showing us how to make many different dishes...all equally delicious. We were made to feel very welcomed and I would defo recommend this tour for an authentic indian cooking experience.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thank you Alexia for the review.

Madlavnings show ikke kursus

Natasja_H, Jul 2024

Vi tilbragte nogle rigtig hyggelige timer med mor og datter, som sammen stod for kurset. Vi fik set, hvordan en almindelig aftensmads ret ser ud og vi så hvordan hun tilberedte den. Vi fik ikke lov at deltage så meget, vi så bare til, mens hun lavede mad. Opskriften fik vi bagefter på SMS, da vi spurgte om det.
