Suroth House

Royal, Nidhi, and their daughter Angel literally invite you to be a part of their family when you visit Suroth House. From the moment we walked in, we were not simply “cooking students,” we were new friends who got to know and learn about each other — exchanging travel stories and learning about culture. Of course, we did some cooking, too. Royal and Nidhi showed us several different dishes, all of which we now feel confident to replicate at home (and they send the recipes afterword, as well). We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. When you are away from your own family during travels, being a part of someone else’s, even just for a night can be so comforting. And that is exactly what happened for us with the family at Suroth House. To say we felt welcomed would be an understatement. We’d highly recommend this cooking class if you’re visiting Jaipur.

After 4 months of backpacking around India, I spent one of my last evenings in Jaipur with Royal and Nidri were warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped into their home, and took the Hindu saying 'guest is God' to the next level. The food they taught us how to prepare was delicious and the conversation flowed easily. Royal also treated us to a tour of a local fruit and veg market, explaining in detail about the wares on sale and introducing us to some of the local vendors.

If you love cooking or enjoy Indian food, this is a great way to appreciate it more. You’ll get to see what goes in it and how they do it. On top of that, they will also make you feel at home. Suuuuper welcoming family and they’ll accommodate you. Good conversations with them! They’ll really make you feel at home. You’ll also receive a PDF menu after the class. If i can give them 10 out of 5 stars, i would. Hahahaha. 😊

A truly enjoyable, knowledgable, relaxed and mouthwatering experience with Royal, Nidi and Angel. Would recommend this to anyone!

Warm welcome from the cooking host, Tejveer and his family, made me feel at home. This is a must do for those who want to explore more about India, especially all foodies. The school also provided a market tour, so I've got to learn more about India tradition and their ways of life. Fantastic experience :)

We cooked a vegetarian meal and I loved all the dishes, every single dish they showed us was absolutely delicious. The people were really nice and friendly, they make you feel right at home. If you want to try something fun and you love Indian food it is definitely the place to go.

My husband, daughter and I went to Jaipur and we were looking for an activity there. We came cross this cooking class and decided to book a vegetarian class. It is a join class so we had a couple of friend from different part of the world. The indian cooking was an excellent experience and we could practice hands-on. The dinner included many varieties of food and was really excellent. It was the most superb meal in Jaipur. I'll absolutely attend the class again and strongly recommend a visit at Suroth House.

Royal picked us up at our hotel and we spent time in his local fruit and vegetable market finding out about all the ingredients we were about to cook and eat. It was a great opportunity to ask questions learned more about life in Jaipur. Back at our host’s spacious home we met his wife Nidhi and delightful daughter Angel. We helped prepare all the ingredients and did the hands on cooking. Dinner was a delicious starting with chai and finishing with a most unusual but very tasty sweet carrot dessert. So much fun! This family was very welcoming.

I totally recommend this ! It was such an amazing experience! Not to mention that the food was so delicious! This is not just like going to an attraction, is more like going to a friends house to have a nice dinner. They Suroth's made us feel at home and comfortable. They were super sweet . I'm not really good at cooking, but I learned so much from them . The food recipes where so easy we will try to make at home! Speacial mentioned to their daughter , she was soooo adorable! I honestly so blessed to have met such an amazing family! Also if you have any special requests contact him before hand and he truly tries his hardest to make it happen!

What can I say, I read the reviews before booking and all said it was an amazing experience, well I totally agree. The evening started with introductions, a cool rose sherbet drink and various nibbles. Then off in the car to the market we went. We were taken to a veg stall that had been used by the family for many years. All ingredients were purchased and off we went back to the home to commence cooking. We were taught how to make pakoras, Dahl, chicken handi, okra dish, breads etc. Each step was clearly explained and the reasons given as to why certain ingredients were used. Then the best bit, we sat with the family to eat what we had prepared. I can honestly say that every single dish was mighty tasty. But the highlight for me was spending time with this beautiful, welcoming family, who we immediately felt we had known for years. Tales were exchanged and lots of laughter was had. Angel the daughter is an absolute little star and very entertaining in her own right. If you have the good fortune to attend one of these classes be sure to ask the host about his train ticket experiences, I will say no more but it’s one of the funniest stories I’ve heard in years. All too soon the night was over, a taxi was ordered in the strict instructions that we rang to advise as soon as we got back to hotel, so that he knew we had arrived home safely. A must do experience when in Jaipur, thank you for a most memorable evening x
