My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of visiting Nidhi and Roopak to learn more about Indian food and culture—and the experience exceeded our expectations. We had a fantastic time with our warm and welcoming hosts, learning how to cook daal and prepare chai masala from scratch. Along the way, we gained valuable insights into Indian customs and traditions. Nidhi and Roopak are a truly lovely couple who made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The entire experience felt like reconnecting with old friends. If you're traveling to Delhi, I wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

This was so much more than a cooking class—it was a heartfelt journey into culture, warmth, and connection. Rupac began by blessing me in the Hindu tradition, instantly making me feel welcomed and honored. Nidhi guided the cooking with such care, answering all my questions with grace and patience. We made incredible dishes, but the masala chai—wow—was the best I’ve ever had. They made personalized name cards for me in Hindi (I’ll be framing mine!), and even gifted me something for my great-grandmother. Every detail was thoughtful and deeply human. We danced, laughed, and ended with Om chanting, grounding the joy in peace. Rupac and Nidhi didn’t just host me—they embraced me. This is one of the most sacred and generous experiences I’ve ever had, and I left feeling nourished in every sense of the word. If you want more than just a class—if you want connection—this is for you.

It was a full cultural learning experience exclusively for you or your small group. Nidhi and Roopak opened their home to us, taught us about India as well as their Hindu traditions as well as anything else we wanted to know. They were both warm and inviting and very comfortable to chat with. The cooking was hands on, well explained and all fresh. Delicious! In addition they were the most thorough provider of information on what to expect and detailed directions. Would highly recommend.

It was an excellent experience. I was very well received by the hosts, who explained a little about India, its culture, economy, religion and the different foods. Our experience was very interesting because I could taste the different spices and seasonings of India. We had a delicious lunch with vegetables, beans and bread and then sat down at the table for the meal. It was an afternoon of great learning and new experiences and I even left with a gift. Throughout my stay, the hosts also helped me and gave me tips on tours. Thank you, it was incredible.

Roopak and Nidhi were a very hospitable and friendly couple. I was warmly welcomed into their home. Prior to arriving, I was in contact with Roopak who gave me excellent written directions on how to get to their apartment. I was also asked about food preferences and optional extras. I felt fully informed. Nidhi was the person in the kitchen assisting us as we were "hands on" with the preparation of our lunch which consisted of dahl, veggie curry, roti, semolina pudding and chai. It was all delicious. Roopak educated us in between times with stories, Hindi lessons, writing our names in Hindi and even helping me plan my day for the next day. He had maps and information at his fingertips to show us but they were both interested in us as people which was fabulous. Roopak even drove me back to my hotel as it was raining. It wasn't a long way but it was certainly appreciated. Thoughly recommended.

事前に詳細な情報をいただき、さらに事後にはフォローのメールまで送っていただくなど、非常に親切で丁寧な対応をしていただきました。作り方も分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくださったおかげで、楽しく料理を作ることができました。初めてのベジタリアン料理でしたが、とても美味しくいただけました。

This is a must do experience when you get to Delhi. Nidhi and Roopak are thoughtful, and made us feel welcome in their home. The experience is so much more than cooking, we learned a lot about India and the surrounding regions and had some great conversations. They catered to us as vegans and our meals were delicious. We can't wait to get home and try them out. We highly recommend this experience to everyone, whether you're a keen cook or just want to experience a unique taste of India.

We had a great time with this family and we recommend the experience! Everything was perfect, whether it was the care, the cooking, the explanations, the little activities that make the cooking time go by faster, etc. Everything is extremely well thought out and very qualitative. We learned a lot about cooking but also Indian and Hindu culture. It is really an experience not to be missed!

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!
