Really instructive! The chief is so kind and great! We love to learn to cook curry with her and would 100% recommend!

Amazing chef and guide..food was v tasty

We had an amazing private cooking class! It started with a tour of the garden, where everything about the local herbs, spices, and ingredients was explained clearly. The cooking itself was easy to follow, the food was absolutely delicious, and everything was included—even drinking water. Afterwards, we received all the recipes by email and a lovely souvenir to take home. A truly authentic experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

Wow wow wow! Absolutely amazing. Sriyani was so knowledgeable and friendly. She could host a cooking class on TV. Fun interactive, we were all very involved. A memorable afternoon/ evening. Really enjoyed seeing a lot of the organic produce on the land before our cooking class began, gentleman had such knowledge an interesting session.

Fantastic experience. Sriyani was so knowledgeable, and made the cooking look easy, but the subtle blends of spices produced delicious results. Highly recommended.

Our cooking class experience with Sriyani and guided tour around their garden by Sriyani’s husband, Karu, was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t fault our experience at all, beautiful kind people with a lot of knowledge and love to teach and share their cooking culture. We learnt a lot and everything was detailed and explained, what a bonus to eat the cooking at the end. Would recommend to anyone heading into Sigiriya!

It was very good We learn so much about the Food here and the Garden with the Fruits and vegetabels are very big and beautiful. And the Cooking teacher was very nice Best cooking class ever

Delicious food and plenty of it. Very kind host and a lovely souvenir to end the session. :)

Best thing I’ve done in Sri Lanka so far, begging with a beautiful walk around the gardens where they grow a lot of there vegetables and spices. The guide was very knowledgeable and had very good English. We then began cooking and it was so interesting learning all about there cooking culture and traditional dishes. The cooking teacher was very kind and knowledgeable. It was so much fun learning about the Sri Lankan food and luckily it was me and my girlfriend doing the class. She did mention the class sizes are always small to keep it intimate. Once we had all the food cooked we got to sit down and eat it. It was some of the best food I had ever tasted all natural organic food that we cooked on open flames. There was 5 different types of curry. Overall i couldn’t recommend this highly enough.

We had such a great experience here! The workshop was really fun and interesting, with clear and engaging explanations. The tour through the garden was beautiful, and it was amazing to learn more about all the different herbs and spices. The food was absolutely delicious, and you can really taste the freshness and care that goes into everything. We also really appreciated the host — her English was excellent and very easy to understand. She explained everything in such a warm and engaging way and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We learned so much, not only about the ingredients but also about the culture and the way dishes are prepared. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Sri Lanka — this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

A very amazing experience to learn new skills. The staff are very nice and friendly giving us a wonderful time.

We started with an informative walk around the garden learning about the local plants and trees, some of which went into our meal. Then we had a wonderful interactive and hands on traditional cooking experience in a lovely organic garden setting. Preparing the ingredients, cooking on the open fire and savouring the tastes afterwards! I highly recommend trying this if you’re interested in learning how to cook a ‘proper’ Sri Lankan curry meal!

This was such an amazing experience - the host was incredibly friendly and helpful. We felt very at home with her and we learnt a lot from the cooking class. It was also just me and my partner in the class which made it even more special. They could not have been more hospitable. The food was also delicious and we were kindly gifted the recipes at the end of the class, as well as a gift. I would recommend this to everyone in the area - it is one of the highlights of our trip so far.

Amazing experience, thank you! Food was so tasty and the whole experience so much fun!

A wonderful cooking experience. The class started with a tour around the garden to see where all the produce we would cook with is grown. We were then talked through all the different herbs and spices used in Sri Lankan cooking before cooking 5 different dishes plus roti. 100% recommend this tour!

I would 100% recommend doing this, we started with a walk around the gardens picking fresh herbs and fruit. We then went to the outside cooking area where we made 4 different dishes in clay pots, alongside some fresh bread. All were delicious and eating made a wonderful atmosphere. Really good value for price also, as we were there for around 4 hours in total.

Such a great experience, thanks so much to Sinhagiri for being so friendly and helping us with all the steps. The food was delicious!

An amazing experience in Sigiriya! Our chef did a great job at explaining the ingredients and the instructions. The food was even better! We even got a small souvenir at the end of the class :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have taken part in several cooking classes around the world, and this organic cooking class was truly exceptional. Set in a beautiful location with views of Lion’s Rock, it was both informative and genuinely memorable. The experience was hosted by Sriyani and her husband, Caru, who were warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. The class began with a guided walk through their gardens, where they explained the wide variety of fruits and vegetables grown onsite. This added wonderful context and made the experience feel authentic and personal. The cooking lesson itself was excellent and very hands-on. We were shown how to prepare and cook a delicious Sri Lankan feast including chicken curry, dhal curry, coconut roti, okra curry, and an aubergine (eggplant) salad. We were actively involved in every stage of the preparation and cooking, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow — we genuinely feel confident recreating these dishes at home. At the end of the class, we sat down to enjoy the meal we had prepared together, which was absolutely delicious. This also meant it replaced the cost of an evening meal, making the experience great value for money. A thoughtful gift at the end was a lovely finishing touch and showed just how much care goes into this experience. A fantastic cooking class, wonderful hosts, and an unforgettable setting. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Sigiriya.

We learned a lot about Sri Lankan fruits, vegetables, spices and the food in general. Also Sriyani showed us how to prepare and cook everything like the locals do it. It was a very nice experience and tasting the food afterwards was the highlight. When I’ll arrive home I surely know how to cook all the curry’s by myself, hopefully.

Amazing experience! 10/10 would recommend to anyone in Sigiriya. The food you cook is amazing and there’s lots of food to go around. Sriyani is an amazing host! Please book.

It was a very nice experience to cook the sri Lankan way! Just amazing and unforgettable 🇱🇰❤️ The class was very clear and inspiring!

Had the most amazing experience thanks to Sriyani. The food was just too delicouse and she took all the time to explain everything. Also there was a very nice tour of the garden where everything was explained in detail which was very interesting. Everything in the garden and cooking class is organic and autenthic.

My friend and I really enjoyed this cooking class in a beautiful outdoor setting using traditional Sri Lankan cooking techniques . We helped in preparing the food and then ate a delicious meal afterwards.

So amazing! We had a lovely time, the food was absolutely amazing and the people were all so friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to our cooking-teacher 😍 she was the best.

This was the best cooking class I’ve ever attended! Sinhagiri is an amazing teacher — she explains everything so clearly and makes the whole experience fun and inspiring. The time flew by, and the food turned out absolutely incredible. It was honestly the most delicious chicken I’ve ever had — an explosion of flavors! My only regret is not writing down the exact steps and ingredients, because I was completely mesmerized. It was magical and beautifully simple — truly an unforgettable experience.

Highly recommend this wonderful outdoor cooking experience! Fresh, simple, delicious dishes with warm hospitality.

We did the cooking class as a family and it was an amazing activity, worth every penny. Sinhagiri is not only a wonderful person but takes so much care to explain every step and detail (in great english) and involve everyone. We learned about all the spices (home-made), made different curries and enjoyed the meal afterwards. You even each get a small souvenir to keep. Definitely recommend this cooking class!!

Very friendly and well explained. Was clean and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the tour of their farm of the produce they have. Extremely pleasant evening. Amazed at how many dishes we could make in such a short time.

It is a very nice experience to cook with a local who knows Sri-Lankan cooking, especially when you like the food. It's a great traditional kitchen and everything is clean and wel prepared. The tour through the garden is a bit thin since the garden was not really wel kept jet. I would absolutely recommend the course although its a bit expensive.

This was an Amazing cooking class, beautiful garden and people. Highly recommend when in Sigiriya, best dinner we’ve had here.

This was the best cooking class I have done. Beautiful garden, really fresh and tasty ingredients. Me and my family had a great time. The hosts were amazing. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience and interesting insights into traditional Sri Lankan cooking! Also the best food we had on our trip!

It starts with a nice tour through the garden where they grow there own vegetables and fruit. After which the cooking class is very good. The food is delicious and it’s nice that you make it yourself. This cooking class definitely helps you to impress friends back home!

One of the highlights of our trip so far. Sriannie and her lovely assistant gave a wonderful private and bespoke cooking class. The garden tour was really interesting and then the cooking class went through all the spices and ingredients before us then joining in making our delicious lunch of curry, rice, roti, sambal, daal, vegetables and potato dishes. Our 11 year old got very involved in chopping and grinding and mixing and then making roti. It was all fine the traditional way over an open fire and clay pots. Just wonderful.

It was a really great experience. Thank you for this wonderful time. The cooking class is very good organized und the food is delicious.

The cooking class is really great. It includes a tour around the garden and afterwards a thorough explanation of all the spices used in the dishes. The dishes are incredibly delicious. I would definitely recommend this cooking class!

This cooking class is an amazing experience! I went with my friend and it was very fun and meaningful. The food was also very delicious. This experience can be done by anyone or any group. I would recommend it to anyone☺️

We took this cooking class in Sri Lanka to learn a bit more about the local culture, and it was an absolute success. The woman who gave the class first showed us around the garden where they grow their own fruit and some of the spices. She was also very friendly and shared lots of great cooking tips! We cooked a total of four different curries and she also taught us how to make coconut roti. The whole experience lasted about two and a half hours, and it was absolutely amazing. Honestly, if you're passing through Sigiriya, this is a must-do. The food couldn’t have been better!!!

I had wanted to do a cooking class in Sri Lanka and was happy to find out this class takes place in the accommodation we were staying! A very informative cookery class where you first learn about all the fruits and spices in their beautiful garden, and then you learn how to cook traditional Sri Lankan style food. The couple who run it are soo nice. Then we ate what we had made (which was definitely the best part !!!) Would highly recommend this class.

Really nice cooking class, giving a good insight in Sri Lankan cuisine. We made a lovely Dahl, beetroot curry, eggplant curry, chicken curry, the famous Sri Lankan coconut sambal and some coconut roti. It tasted all very good and they let you finetune all the flavours as a final touch. Thank you so much!

Best cooking class ever, I would highly recommend to anyone. Host and family were lovely. Food was the best authentic cuisine

Amazing setting, friendly host and excellent food. The whole experience was interesting from walking around the gardens to look at the different plants & fruit to selecting the spices for the different dishes. We’ll look to make some of these at home! Would recommend!

I happened to be the only one doing the class, so had three tutors to myself. This didn’t matter to them at all, they were more than willing to teach me their dishes. Got a great garden tour too despite the rain. Some of the nicest people you could meet. Overall an excellent experience and I would highly recommend. Only issue was the amount of food I had all to myself!

The cooking class was amazing!! It started with a lovely walk to look at all the fruit, vegetables and spices grown on the property. We then chose what produce we would like to cook with. We tried many tradition ways of cooking and the ladies explained everything very clearly. The food was delicious!!! I would highly recommend!

A wonderful cooking class where we learned about the local food. Before the class began, we were also given a tour of the garden. So many fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. Highly recommended!

This was such a wonderful activity. Our lovely host showed us around in the garden and told us about the produce we were going to prepare our dinner with. Then the coocking began over open fire, it was really amazing. And the flavours, something I’ve never tried before. Really really recommend this for a unique experience!
