JD is an excellent, kind and knowledgeable host, and he and his family were very welcoming and hospitable. I don’t even like cooking and had so much fun! The food was delicious, and I feel like I learned a lot about Indian cuisine. 100% recommend this while in Delhi - it’s a ‘don’t miss’!

Amazing local cooking class!

Lauren_W, Apr 2026

An amazing local cooking experience. I was given clear and easy instructions on how to make several local dishes inside JD’s family home. It was very informative and tasty. JD and his parents were charming and really welcomed me into their home and we had some really insightful conversation. Highly recommend this experience in Dehli.

Fun and informative authentic cooking class

Joseph_T, Mar 2026

I would fully recommend this cooking class if you’re interested in learning how to properly cook some tasty Indian food. Bindra was such a patient and attentive teacher and guided us through the steps for each dish. The best thing about the class is that it is hands on- you do all of the cooking yourself, with Bindra there to help if you have any doubts or questions. Plus we got to eat the tasty and authentic Indian food that we made. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful time learning to cook Indian food in a family kitchen

Robert_E, Mar 2026

I had such a wonderful time learning to make several Indian dishes with JD. The fact that the class is in a real home made it feel even better than the classes I’ve previously taken in cooking school kitchens. Having JD’s dad pop into the family kitchen to offer support made the whole experience feel that much more enjoyable. I really appreciated the fact that JD focuses on flavors and new techniques. He didn’t have us chop vegetables since we all already know how to do that task. Instead, he walked us through the importance of balancing a variety of spices in the dishes he was teaching us to cook. Of course, he also had us do the bulk of the cooking too, but it was more so aimed at teaching new skills. Overall, I’d highly recommend taking this class. Even as a solo traveler, it was a blast cooking with a group of other folks to create a delicious meal. It was a really fun time, and I feel confident that I can make the dishes we learned when I return home… with a little practice, of course.

Book it now!!! this...

The best cooking masterclass you'll find!

Fraser_W, Nov 2025

What an amazing cooking masterclass with JD and his dad. The whole family were so welcoming and friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made all the dishes seem incredibly easy to make and it was very much hands-on. We learnt lots and can't wait to try the recipes when we are back home. The masala chai was lovely too. The best thing we've done in Delhi!

The best experience!

gemlindley, Oct 2025

JD and his dad were amazing hosts and welcoming us in to their home. We really felt part of the family, learned so much, and gained new friends. What a special evening to be taught how to create 7 wonderful Indian dishes, to understand their meaning and the flavours and then to share together at the table. As female travellers we felt safe and looked after, we used taxi to get to the location. The prep area was clean and hygienic, refreshments were provided for us and it was almost like visiting a relative. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned so much. We appreciate the hospitality and friendship. We will never forget this experience, the highlight of your trip thank you JD & dad.

Cooking delight

Tanya_M, Aug 2025

Cannot recommend this enough. We were welcomed by Bindras dad into a beautiful home with chi tea and biscuits. We were taken to a beautiful, spotless kitchen and prep area - was not surprised when I learnt the family cook professionally! Bindra explained every step, the reasons for each thing , tips and tricks, he demonstrated or explained everything, but insisted we did everything until we were confident! We took photos , made videos and then got to sit down and enjoy ! Really loved it ! Thank you Bindra

highly reccomend!!

Nastassja_M, Jan 2025

I would highly reccoment this tour!! JD was so kind and welcoming, as were his family. He was very patient in explaining the processes involved and why the particular methods we used were the best way to cook the meal. He was very accommodating of my friend's onion intolerance without making her feel like it was a hassle. The food was delicious, definitely one of the top 5 meals of my life.

A great experience

Scott_I, Dec 2024

JD was an excellent host, making us feel very much at home ..in his home. The whole afternoon was excellent, with a great meal to finish it all off

Amazing ending to an Indian visit.

Phil_A, Feb 2024

Solo booked last minute and was messaged with confirmation and joining instructions within seconds. What a great way to spend a few hours. JD and his family were amazings hosts. Everything was relaxed, hygienic and amazing quality. Learning with others and his family was a joy and our results made an amazing meal. A must do.

Highly recommend

Michael_T, Jan 2024

Stellar night of cooking traditional Indian food. JD and his father were so kind and lovely. He focused on spicing and techniques, glad we didn’t have to waste time chopping veggies. Our dals and pratha were fantastic. The rice pudding was delish ending.

Fun activity for foodies interested in cooking Indian :)

Isha_K, Apr 2023

Did this incredible cooking class with a friend visiting from the UK, and we both learnt so much about the craft of north Indian food while really just having a great time! Our dietary requirements were very much accounted for, and we got great pictures as documented proof at the end. Recommending this for anyone interested in learning and having some fun!

A fantastic experience

OdalyVictorio, Apr 2023

JD and his dad provided me an authentic Indian cooking experience. I was wowed upon arrival to find their preparation and presentation. As a solo traveler, I always worry about my safety, but I felt completely at ease. JD was very patient and explains the ‘hows and why’s’ as we went along. In the end we enjoyed our meal together as the friends we became!

A very special experience

Gitte_K, Jan 2026

Very welcoming family and a great experience and learning how to start with a base for rice, roasted and bread that can become many variants with Jandeep as a skilled chef.

A warm recommendation from heart.

Maya_T, Oct 2025

A warm recommendation from all the heart, we came to the class entirely by chance and met J.D. and his lovely family, who hosted us on our last night in Delhi. The food really came out at a level that didn’t fall from any restaurant we ate at, and we also received in-depth explanations on how to prepare everything.

Bellissima esperienza. Ho imparato tantissimi piccoli segreti culinari da questo ottimo cuoco che è anche una bellissima persona con cui chiacchierare e conoscere la cultura indiana. Consigliatissimo
