The Chef @ 5 Pm (3 Main Dishes + 2 Breads)

A really fun way to begin my vacation was to go to this multigenerational home and cook Indian food. Others who had booked missed their flight so I was solo but it didn't matter, I felt like a special guest. Delicious and you get her recipe book as a gift. Highly recommend.

We had such a lovely experience at saffron palate. My dad and I both love cooking and it was so much fun to learn more about Indian cooking! It was just the two of us in the class and we had such a nice time with Neha and could ask lots of questions. Neha was so thoughtful, she had prepared everything super nicely and even printed out a picture that she took of us while cooking to give us in the end which was so cute. I recommend the class to anyone who’s interested in learning more about Indian cooking (or whoever wants to eat some amazing home cooked meals)! It was definitely one of our favourite experiences in Delhi!

We had a great time learning the basics of Indian cooking. Our 14yr old enjoyed getting stuck in with the prep and cooking. Excellent Experience

This cooking class was one of the highlights of my trip to India. Neha is extremely knowledgeable and a gracious host. She was able to ensure I made the foods I was most interested in. I learned how to make butter chicken, Chana masala, Teera Aaloo, and garlic naan. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who finds themselves in Delhi with a few hours of time, and a love for food and cooking.

Amazing experience. Neha is a very good guide, she is kind and calm. We made aloo gobi, palak paneer, butter chicken and naan. The butter chicken is the best I ever had. She also gave us a cooking book for later. The place is so nice, the food is amazing and Neha is super good. We were 7 friends doing it together and it was super fun. Thank you so much for this authentic experience.

Wonderful experience. Very kind and professional as well as welcoming. Started in the home with a welcome and explanation as well as water and freshening up if needed. Then went to the separate cooking kitchen where we had our lesson. It was very organized and all ingredients set out and prepared for us. Cute take home aprons were provided. The experience it was very educational as well as fun. And of course delicious! We then moved into the dining room where we enjoyed the meal that we had made. Beaufort Beautiful home and environment. The teacher, her family and helpers were all warm and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised too be provided with a cookbook at the end. Highly recommend!

Really nice experience, great atmosphere. We had a great time! We loved being the chef’s home and learning to cook some Indian favorites.

Amazing cooking class with great fresh ingredients. Couldn’t recommend more.

An amazing experience. Neha was so welcoming and explained all the parts of the cooking process really well, we are confident to go home and try our new skills with family and friends. Highly recommended experience

A couple of hours of cooking delicious food, while learning many good cooking tips and trying new flavours. Facilities are excellent and it truly feels like homecooking. Highly recommended.

My family and i really enjoyed this cooking class. The atmosphere was excellent and the food that i made was chefs kiss! Would go again whenever im in the area

We had such a fantastic time at this cooking class! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the Neha made everything feel approachable and fun. We learned how to prepare several traditional Indian dishes from scratch, with clear guidance and plenty of hands-on involvement. It wasn’t just about following recipes—we got to understand the spices, techniques, and cultural stories behind the food, which made the experience even more special. The highlight was, of course, sitting down at the end to enjoy everything we had cooked. The food was absolutely delicious, and it felt so rewarding knowing we’d made it ourselves. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting India or even locals looking to try something new. A perfect mix of learning, culture, and great food!

Had so much fun the first time with colleagues I came back with my partner and had yet another fantastic time, Neha was amazing!

Neha provides an absolutely fantastic and fun experience! As someone who doesn’t really love cooking I really enjoyed this event - it was easy, super fun and delicious. Neha is a delight!

What an AMAZING experience!! Unforgettable memories made, and delicious food eaten! Absolutely loved every minute of Neha’s class. Thank you so much for sharing your home and priceless knowledge with us. As a flight attendant I’ve travelled the world, and this was by far up there with one of my favourite layovers. I can’t wait to replicate all the recipes back home for my family and friends! Neha is so welcoming and talented we learned so much and had so much fun doing so. I can’t wait to come back and learn more!

Very personal cooking course. We Made delicious Indian food. A book with recipes was given. So we can try this and more at home. Friendly staff. Wel prepared. The course was given at the owners house. My recommendations

I really enjoyed this cooking class in Delhi and overall it was a very good experience. The host was welcoming, knowledgeable, and explained the cooking process clearly, making it easy to follow along and learn about Indian cuisine. The butter chicken we made was delicious, and the breads were fun to prepare. However, I was a bit disappointed that we only cooked one main dish and two breads, as the class description mentioned cooking three main dishes and two breads. That said, it was still enjoyable.

Our family of three had a wonderful experience with our Saffron Palate cooking class. First of all, Neha's home kitchen studio setup provided the space and burners for each of us to fully participate, whether chopping, sauteing, or cooking Roti/Chapati in a cozy, homey atmosphere. Second, Neha is a wonderful cooking instructor, starting the class by getting to know us and sharing her story, which we were eager to learn more about during our 1st trip to India. Neha was well organized with the menu planning and ingredient prep, as we needed to stay on task, learning to cook three main dishes (Chana Masala, Vegetable Biryani, Butter Chicken, Lachha Parantha, and Roti). After cooking, we then enjoyed the flavorful dishes in a beautiful dining setting. The cooking class definitely was one of our highlights during our India vacation. I would highly recommend.

Naha was so generous in welcoming us into her house. The cooking she showed us was excellently explained and easy to follow - and tasted absolutely delicious when we sat down with it later on. Would thoroughly recommend the course, and we are very much looking forward to trying out the recipes at home

We were given such a gift by taking this class with Neha. She is an incredible woman, a kind, caring, and generous person, welcoming us into her home, teaching us about Indian spices and recipe preparation. The best meal we have had in Delhi was prepared by us with Neha’s amazing teaching! If you are trying to decide whether to take the class, do NOT hesitate! Embrace the culinary adventure!

What an incredible experience! Neha - you are the perfect host. Loved seeing your home in the treetops and cooking with all the spices. I'll treasure it forever, and also recreate the meals from your cookbook! Thank you!

Just did an amazing cooking class this week at Saffron Palate! Neha was incredible - we learned so much from her and left thinking that the complexity of Indian cooking was totally something we were capable of recreating at home. The class was fun and the meal was delicious. Hands down, one of the best experiences of our two-week trip. Pro-tip - wait to do your spice shopping until *after* doing your class with her. :-)

The best cooking class I’ve ever done! Neha was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. I learnt a lot about Indian cooking, the meals were AMAZING and the whole experience was very fun! Thank you Neha.

I enjoyed this cooking course so much. From the location, to the amazing host Neha, to the food we cooked. Neha expertly talked us through cooking the meals and the breads and she made it all seem so effortless.

Wonderful lesson with Neha, she's an excellent teacher and the food was delicious. Will try again at home for sure using Neha's recipe booklet

I had the best time with Neha. Her place is wonderful. She was very good at teaching how to cook Indian food. I was able to tell her what I wanted to learn and ask all the question I had about the food. We had a very great time. Food was delicious. At the end, I received a recipe booklet with many great recipes. It was very much beyond my expectations.

This was such a fun and unique opportunity! Food was great and we all really enjoyed the experience. Our hostess was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Good food, comfortable setting and friendly, knowledgeable instructor. Made for a great evening. I learnt some new and interesting things and I have been cooking curries for years. If you want to make authentic Indian food then this is highly recommended.

The most fabulous cooking class to date! Neha is amazing chef excellent chef and was very helpful offering suggestions and some great tips for making some delicious everyday Indian meals. Highly recommend!

What a fantastic evening!! Learning how all the spices go together to make the amazing dishes with Neha in her own home, was a great experience and then getting to eat them all after even better!! I would l thoroughly recommend this to anyone who visits Delhi.

We had such an amazing cooking class with Neha. She was extremely positive and patient, her instructions so perfect, and the food we made was so delicious we couldn’t believe that we made it. We would highly recommend the is activity, and will definitely integrate these recipes into our weekly meal preps.

Neha (and her beautiful dog Zoe!) gave us our favourite experience in Delhi. She welcomed us into her beautiful and perfectly clean home and showed us how to make the most delicious Indian dishes. She had been extremely accommodating of my Delhi belly and offered to move our class which was so appreciated, and was incredibly patient of our mishap with navigating Hauz Khas. Highly recommend this experience - it’s in the travel guides for a reason! Thank you so much Neha.

I visited Neha at Saffron Palate with two work colleagues while on a work trip to Delhi. Booking was simple with paypal used for international invoicing. We had a number of changes with people being added/removed to the trip and Neha very patiently accomodated these. We arrived at Neha’s home and were greeted by her guard who showed us upstairs. We had masala chai with Neha while we waited for another colleague and got to know her better. When we got into cooking, Neha curated a menu of potatoes, paneer and dhal based on my preferences and we prepared the three dishes. Neha clearly has extensive training experience as she is patient and ensures everyone is included. We all were given tasks to complete to prepare the dishes. We then prepared the breads to accompany the dishes. Again Neha ensured we were all included and had tasks to complete. After we had finished cooking, Neha’s helper finished preparing the dishes while we sat outside in the balmy Delhi evening on the terrace. We then enjoyed the meal with Neha in her dining area before sampling some sweets and leaving armed with her extensive cookbook. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an Indian food lover, and it was great to learn how to prepare dishes from start to finish without cheating! It’s so ideal if you want to do something a little different off the tourist trail, and to really immerse your senses in India!

It was a truly amazing experience. Neha is a wonderful instructor and so kind and hospitable. I have been here twice for the cooking class and enjoyed it both times very much!

A colleague and I attended this cooking class during a 1-day stopover in New Delhi. Without a doubt, it was the highlight of my 10-day, around the world trip! Neha made us feel so welcome, and never once did my novice cooking skills interfere with my enjoyment of the experience. We made Chicken korma, Dal makhani, Lemon rice, Bhindi masala and Naan. It was all delicious, but my favorite was the Chicken korma. I'll definitely try to do another class the next time I'm in New Delhi.

I am an Australian school teacher who was supervising some of our visiting Year 9 students who were participating in Neha's fantastic cooking class. She was incredibly patient with them as they navigated their way around her kitchen and the wonderfully pre-prepared ingredients and cooking implements they needed, all while she gave clear and considered instructions so that our boys could produce some delicious butter chicken, potatoes and roti. When we were all done, we all absolutely loved eating our finished products in the comfort of her home dining area - served with some delicious kaju barfi, it was an experience to remember and a true highlight of our trip. If you're in Delhi and looking for an authentic Indian experience, I cannot recommend Neha's class enough - you'll absolutely love it!

I absolutely LOVED the experience. A must-do (and would repeat!). It was fun, she takes amazing pictures, then we sit and eat the food which is delicious! We get beer during the break and got to talk a lot about local culture. This experience made me want to find the same kind of experience in every country I go from now onwards! Thank you, Neha! You're the best!

Perhaps you're thinking you can't cook let alone complex Indian dishes... well, this is your opportunity to experience an authentic cooking experience. We loved our lesson with Neha at Saffron Palate, even the non-cheffy person amongst us now believes it is possible to deliver tasty Indian cuisine of your own. Thank you Neha for the wonderful hospotality and showing us that home cooked Indian is totally possible.

This was a great experience from start to finish .Neha was great with all the communication ahead of our visit and a lovely warm host and a skilled teacher of our group of 4 couples.The kitchen is indoors and spotless ,lots of room to work in and opens onto the terrace Her instruction was friendly and skilled meaning that our dishes were an absolute success each and every one and at least one of our group would describe himself as new to a kitchen 😂 We cooked 3 mains and a rice and 2 breads all of it was great and you controlled the spice levels which was reassuring for our group.There was also no issues with dietary requirements with paneer substituting chicken for one of the dishes Great recipe book at the end to help you remember what to do at home .

We had a very enjoyable time cooking with Neha. It was fascinating to learn how the ingredients and spices combine to make the vibrant flavours of Indian dishes. Apart from the breads, which were great fun to make, all the food could be made gluten free for my wife's allergy. The kitchen was very clean and we felt very welcome there and where we sat down to eat. Would love to return one day. Thanks for a memorable evening.

I couldn’t recommend this experience more! Neha is an incredible host, easy going and taught us so much about Indian food, history and how to make delicious Indian dishes that we for sure will replicate back at home. It was the perfect way to end a day full of visits to monuments and experience the culture in a different way!

No matter what your skill level is in cooking, The dishes you make all turn out delicious, thanks to Neha! Such a great way to wind down from the hustle and bustle of Delhi. Saffron Palette is a place to enjoy Indian cuisine, a couple drinks with great company.

We booked a private cooking class with Neha to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it turned out to be such a special and memorable experience. Neha was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She walked us through the cooking process step by step and made us feel completely at ease in her kitchen. One of the highlights was learning to make butter chicken—my husband absolutely loved it and said it was the best he’s ever had! To top it all off, Neha surprised him with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. We left with full bellies, new cooking skills, and lovely memories. I’d definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for something a little different, whether you’re a foodie, a couple, or just want to try something fun and delicious in a relaxed setting.

We recently attended this cooking class focused on Indian cuisine, and I can't stop raving about the experience! From the tantalizing aroma of spices to the vibrant colors of the dishes, every aspect of this class was a feast for the senses. The class covered several delicious dishes, including mouth-watering chicken curry with cashew nuts, perfectly spiced potatoes, and fluffy, flavorful Indian breads. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about Indian cuisine, making the learning process both enjoyable and informative. I appreciated the hands-on approach, which allowed us to actively participate in each step of the cooking process. The instructor provided clear and concise instructions, along with helpful tips and tricks to ensure our dishes turned out perfectly.

Neha’s cooking class was the highlight of our time spent in Delhi. She’s an amazing chef and great teacher. The class is fun, interactive and made us amateurs feel like experts. We ended up having our dishes for dinner and it was a meal better than we could have had in the best restaurants. Neha is a charming hostess and we can’t wait to do it all over again!

Our group of four were part of an evening cooking session with four other guests. The session was led in a friendly and clear way that ensured that all people taking part could keep up, whatever their level of experience. The recipes we made produced lovely meals that we ate in the shared company of the group in the open garden. A delightful experience.

Amazing and fun activity, great host and the dishes were delicious, we would do it again if we come back to Delhi, highly recommended!

Very special experience learning how to cook my favourite dishes at the end of my Indian holiday ... Something to bring home and treasure .... Neha is a wonderful teacher and the kitchen is well equipped with individual coming stations

This experience was arranged by our travel agent during our three week visit to India. It was a highlight of our stay in Delhi! We arrived to Neha's home and chatted. She has a separate kitchen for her cooking lessons. Everything is very clean and modern. You can actually cook or just watch or any combination of the two. I love Indian food, but I don't cook so I took pictures and taped it. My husband made bread. Neha is an excellent teacher and explained everything super well. It was fun. If you are a cook, you will love this! Learning about Indian cooking was fascinating. In another room, we sat down to eat our feast. It was so delicious! I wish Neha lived in Kansas City so I could have this experience often...it was great! If you are lucky enough to be in Delhi, I highly recommend doing this cooking lesson. You will learn a lot, have fun and eat a delicious meal with a really nice hostess , Neha. You'll be very happy you chose this!
