I had a wonderful time learning and cooking some classic Indian dishes. Neha was warm and welcoming and gave great instructions and support the whole time. Sitting down together at the end was really lovely and the food was so delicious! Mega not only shared Indian cooking with me but shared about her life and Indian culture. I'm inspired to make all the dishes again when I get home.

Great Cooking Class!

Kirsten_W, Mar 2026
I learned so much about Indian cooking from Neha and the food we prepared was delicious. Neha explained each step and what we needed to do a when. The class was only four people so we all got to know each other. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon and experience Indian hospitality.

A really enjoyable way to spend a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of Delhi, and acquire some new skills and recipes. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended

A great activity where we learned some of the secrets of Nth Indian cooking. It was fun and wonderful to try all our dishes at the end.

Do not miss this!

Flaminia_S, Nov 2025
We absolutely loved this cooking class! Not only was a fun and relaxed activity to do but we also learnt a lot on cooking with spices and Indian food culture. We can’t wait to go back home and cook these recipes again for our family and friends! Neha was a wonderful host and we loved chatting with her about food and anything else. As a class teacher she is very patient and she will help select dishes that cater to your dietary requirements and taste. We would do this again and recommend to anyone who is coming to Delhi!

Fantastic expereince provided by the knowledgeable, gracious and wonderful Neha. I learned a lot about the spice foundation and techniques for making Indian food…and the final product was delicious.

Must do Indian cooking class.

Simone_H, Mar 2025
Outstanding cooking class. The session was informative, interactive and tremendous fun. We cooked 3 dishes and 3 breads.

Amazing and yummy experience!

Tim_C, Nov 2024
We had an amazing time cooking some yummy indian food with super fresh ingredients. The host Neha was super friendly and kept everything interesting and insightful about the spices and food. She was very accommodating with our preferred dishes and getting to cook some roti variations in particular was great! The Icing on the cake was the ice cold beer (crucial with indian food) and her lovely dog Zoey who we played with after the meal! Highly recommend 👌

Tastiest Indian cooking class

Viv_H, Nov 2024
What a wonderful experience. Not only did we learn lots of tips and info regarding all the Indian spices but we made the most tasty dishes we’ve tasted so far in India I’m gluten free and Neha helped us make a tasty pancake That was yummy (I naughtily had a taste of the naan though and it was amazing)! You won’t regret a cooking lesson with Neha, she’s so lovely and knowledgeable

Fabulous lesson in Indian cooking and culture!

Sharon_J, Oct 2024
Neha's cooking class was absolutely fantastic! She's a wonderful teacher and taught me so much about Indian spices and cooking methods. It was the most amazing 3 hours and the best part was eating our creations! I can't wait to practice what I've learnt when I return home to Australia - so excited that I can niw make naan!! Thanks for sharing not only your cooking skills but your wonderful culture with us Neha! Annot recommend more highly - don't miss doing this amazing class!

Amazing Experience

Mirielys_C, Sep 2024
I loved how kind and welcoming she was. She was very kind with my one year old and we learned a lot of about India food and the ingredients. If you are visiting Delhi this is a MUST.

Lovely experience and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Perle_K, Feb 2024
It was an exceptional experience, learning how to make classic Indian dishes inside a local home while hearing the origins about each spice and dish. It was one of the best meals we had on our entire trip, hence influencing us to buy a spice kit in order to replicate all these dishes at home.

Never buying roti again!

Gina_L, May 2023
We arrived to this rooftop oasis that I never imagined to find in India, our cooking class was in a custom built room and our family divided into two groups, or teams as we viewed it, and this allowed us to be very hands on. We learned all about the ingredients, some history around them, and the tricks to get the breads just right. We have done cooking classes in any countries and the kids were definitely captivated by this one. When the cooking was done we got to sit done for a delicious meal and converse with our teacher/ host and got so much more insight into the culture and country, it was a priceless experience that we will cherish.

Nice way to spend an afternoon.

Cheryl_W, Mar 2023
I think I got lucky as the other travelers/chefs were all very friendly and nice people to spend an afternoon with cooking. Neha was great too!

Stellar experience

kshippert, Feb 2020
TAKE THIS COOKING CLASS!!! Neha is a wonderful chef, teacher, and guide. We had the best afternoon, and can't wait to make her recipes when we get home! Her home cooking studio is very comfortable and her dog Zoey is adorable!!
