Nidhi and Roopak were absolutely the best host one could possibly ask for! My wife and I had a super jam-packed visit throughout Delhi including several sightseeing tours, upscale restaurant patronage but this cooking experience was hands down our favorite item on the itinerary. It was not only an intimate cooking experience where we learned how to cook local cuisine with fresh ingredients (the milk man literally knocked on the door to deliver the days milk for our session) but also an immersive cultural experience. We understood better of the Hindu religion due to Roopak’s and Nidhi’s exceptional english, offered desserts to the gods, and had activities in between cooking times. We learned a few phrases in Hindi! Overall they went above and beyond and for a short period we felt like true locals. Thank you best of luck!
Roopak & Ndihi provide an experience which is not comparable to anything else we have been on across various countries and excursions. Incredibly warm and welcoming, beautiful clean home who couldn’t do more to provide you with a truly unique India experience. They provide you a wealth of knowledge beyond the average tourist would see making you feel incredibly valued. The cooking experience was very hands on delivered in a very fun and knowledgeable way. The food was excellent with both Roopak & Ndihi being the perfect hosts - best value for money experience we have ever had!
What a perfect way to spend my last day in Delhi. I wish I would have met them on the first day. It would’ve made things so much clearer. They explained so much that I wish I would have known coming in, but anyhow, they are amazing hosts and I got to make a very delicious meal. They had a really nice menu of add-ons and I chose to do three of them. I could have done all of them but opted for adding on the henna, doing some art, and yoga. What a talented couple. I would’ve never known that I could’ve done everything from scratch like that and they made it all feel easy. The directions , descriptions and instructions were very clear and informative, but nothing could have informed me about the great time I was about to have! Some of the times were also very mellow which I appreciated so much because this town can be very chaotic.
10/10, the class was great, well priced and a real insight into an Indian household. they were great at communicating and picked me up from the metro station and took me back to theirs for the class, and dropped me back to the station once done. The class was just me and one other solo traveller so was a nice small size. Roopak and Nidhi were lovely and made it a really easy and open atmosphere to ask any questions about Indian culture that you wanted which i really appreciated and learned so much from. The cooking was good fun and they encouraged you to ask as many questions as you wanted and then we all sat down and ate the delicious food together- was a lovely family like experience !
Roopak and Nidhi were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond to keep us informed and constantly provided outstanding tips. Their house is lovely. Despite our late arrival, Roopak kindly picked us up from the Metro station. We had numerous questions about India, its history, religion, and culture, all of which they answered with patience. The food was exceptional. We learned simple recipes and techniques that can be easily replicated back home. I highly recommend participating in this at the beginning of your tour. It serves as an excellent introduction to Indian culture, enriching the overall experience. The only downside: they offered gifts in exchange for a review before we left. We declined due to limited space. This gesture did not tarnish the wonderful experience we had with them, but it’s worth noting, as it could make guests feel pressured to leave a more favorable review to avoid any awkwardness. Despite the minor concern, it was still a 5-star experience that I would recommend to anyone.
The Indian culture is to treat your guests like a God and indeed that’s how I felt. Nidhi’s warmth and hospitality match her cooking skills - she’s gracious and generous and has a sharp sense of humor. We prepared delicious, healthy, fresh food together- all the while Nidhi patiently explained what we were doing and why. I’m a happy customer and highly recommend Nidhi’s cooking class to anyone who wants an authentic experience of home cooked Indian food and an extra dose of feel-good hospitality ❤️ Thank you 🙏
Nice experience to meet a local family and deeply explore the traditions, the food, etc and also to have a humble daily common talk with them. An open conversation where we brought our questions, doubts and also they explain us a lot of interesting things. We helped a bit also to prepare the delhi-cious dinner. They are open to take as many photos as you want. Consider taking a cab to arrive, 1h + approx from old delhi. Definitely a really valuable experience and Roopak's family also pay attention to the details,from the warm welcome to a very comfortable session of conversation with amenities and everything we could need! Thanks!
I am a homemaker and very passionate about cooking. I have been using my skills to make exquisite delicacies for more than 25 years. Being a perfect host comes naturally to me. I frequently host Experiences & Tours for Tourists, kitty parties, and get-together events at my home and am always complimented for my cooking, with people asking me to teach them how to make a particular dish.
In India, it is believed food made with love and warmth tastes much better than a chef in a restaurant who is just doing his job. Come, and experience the taste of Indian food made by an Indian woman, an expert in cooking. Your taste buds would thank you!
