We loved it!

Coastal644420, Oct 2018

Shalini and her family were incredibly warm and welcoming to us in their home for this cooking experience. It was led by Shalini and other female relatives who have obviously been preparing this food for their entire lives. In the end, it was some of the best food we had all trip! We definitely recommend this for a personal, in-home meal with a warm local family.

Just like family

Right off the bat we knew this was going to be a great experience. Shalini came and met us so as not to get lost and we walked to her beautiful spacious home and chatted as she is SO friendly. We were introduced to her mother in law and cooking partner and her adorable son. We had some pakora snacks and the ladies had us prep the veggies, all the while teaching us about all the spice combos, special ingredients like veg we had never seen and cooking techniques. We sat down to a delicious and plentiful lunch of a full thali, including dessert, with her father in law and son since the ladies were fasting. It felt just like sharing a meal at home and was so lovely. After lunch Shalini showed us around her home and we got to know eachother a little more. She even took us to a store when we mentioned we needed some clean clothes for our travels. We couldn’t recommend this more to everyone. Shalini and her whole family are the most wonderful hosts

We had an amazing dinner in...
