Amazing experience for my last day in India! I chose to make and try Afghan cuisine and honestly was one of the best meals I had my entire trip! The family was very warm and welcoming and I would highly recommend for anyone
We were welcomed into the home of a beautiful family. We met parents and two daughters. We were rushed for time due to having to catch a flight and they were so accommodating to our needs. The food was amazing as was the forthcoming information they provided regarding life in India. Very interesting and informative tour and I highly recommend this tour. Can’t recommend enough.
This was a great Cooking Class, and changed my approach to Indian cooking. I have tried to learn Indian cooking from books and television shows but it never really worked until I had hands on instructions in peoples homes. In this class, I learnt to make a classic spinach dish, eggplant and tomato, and biryani it was very helpful that we learnt two different types of biryani one chicken and one vegetable, so I can make an excellent dinner for my vegetarian friends. Since coming back home, I have made the spinach and eggplant dishes repeatedly and they are extremely popular. The family were very warm and kind and I just loved the whole experience. Recommended.
My dear friend, Faramarz, recommended me this beautiful experience and it was more than worth it! I honestly had THE best time Zareen and Marjan. The mother-daughter cooking class was definitely one of my greatest highlights while being in India. Both of them put so much love in this culinary class and at the same time a lot of knowledge. You’ll learn all the recipes from scratch while receiving superinteresting insights into all the spices and the Afghan-Indian culture!! 11/10 would recommend!! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful experience with me! Heaps of love, Linda xx
I chose this experience to see a different part of Delhi, experience the spice market and spend time bonding with locals over food-- this experience did not disappoint. Fara and Marjan were friendly and accommodating hosts and their parents were genuine sweet people. Would highly recommend if you're looking for an wholesome experience and cooking knowledge from an "aunty" figure!
Had a most delightful evening with Marjaan and her family. They collected me from my drop off point and we walked through the local market meeting and greeting people there. Each step of the recipe was explained and I got to help with stirring and frying! I was contacted earlier in the day to ask if I had any allergies or taste preferences which was good. The food was excellent and the family could not have been more hospitable or welcoming even helping me hail a auto to get home again.
Amazing food and wonderful people! Absolutely an experience I would repeat or gift to others. We were welcomed with Afghan chai and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. As someone that lives in Afghanistan, I can assure the food was 100% genuine and a joy for the soul. We definitively have new friends in Delhi now!
They invite you has a part of their family and you cook together simple concept very nice experience to live you learn about spices , food, market, and life! I really had a great experience!
The afghani food was excellent, she walked us through every part of cooking and even I could follow along as a novice!! The street food tour was also really tasty got a good sample of Indian snacks. Would recommend!
Lovely family. Food was delicious . . An incredible authentic experience. Toured the local market which was a lovely.
I had a wonderful time with Faranarz familiy and learned a lot about indian cooking. We learned how to properly cook the rice (it's a process!), make chapati and rajmas (beans) and those amazing eggplants! I had a very nice time with the family who was answering a lot of questions about Indian culture and cuisine. I really recommand this class :)
I had an absolutely wonderful experience! Fara and his family were incredibly welcoming and kind. I loved getting a chance to learn more about the details of cooking technique. I got a lot of great advice about how to try things at home. All of the food was so delicious and I had a lot of fun just sitting and talking with everyone. This was one of my favorite parts of my trip to Delhi! I recommend this cooking class very highly!
We had a wonderful experience cooking and discussing with Fara family. Everything was explained and tasted. The cooking process was fantastic but the experience with the family was really awesome. It is fantastic to discover Afghan and Indian cooking in such an intimate way. It will remain for sure one of our highlights in a great Indian trip. We highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time cooking with Hannah, Faramarz and his Family:-) They explained everything to us and we were able to get an insight in their family Life and their culture! The food we prepared was very delicious and the conversations were really interesting! The hosts pay a Lot of attention to their guests and we felt welcomed at their House. All in all it was the perfect experience of cooking, talking and having a wonderful time! Thank you so much!
The cooking class with faramarz and his familiy is amazing. Lovely family, welcome feeling and very delicious indian and afghanistan food, warmly recommend it.
First things first, Fara is very welcoming and friendly. I was expecting a lot from that class, and was not disappointed at all. We started with a market tour, where we could select what we wanted to cook and try. After what he invited us to his house for the cooking class. We had a small break with tea, where he explained us the afghan cuisine. Only after that did we start cooking. While Fara was explaining everything, his lovely mom was helping us prepare things. It was a great cooking session, we learnt a lot! The meal was incredible. We ate in a traditional style, on a carpet. I only have very good memories, it was a fantastic experience, and could only recommend to everyone!!
We had a great time with Faramaz and his family. Cooking together and talking provide a perfect insight into culture and family life :) Thanks for everything!
