The range of dishes available to cook was tremendous. The staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and informative. The cooking progressed at a very pleasant pace. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Well worth doing.

Our chef instructor, Vikram, was wonderful. His guidance was clear; he was patient and encouraging. We made three dishes each and they were all delicious! The academy was clean and well equipped. It was excellent value for money: for four hours, we prepared, cooked any ate traditional Nepali dishes - food I have enjoyed during my stay in Nepal and now feel confident that I can cook for my friends and family back home.

The class focuses on teaching you to prepare two iconic Nepali dishes—momo and dal bhat—as the main courses, while also giving you the flexibility to choose from a variety of other menu options.

Afterward, you'll sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared in a cozy, welcoming environment. We offer a complete experience, from hotel pickup to drop-off (if selected), use of professional cooking equipment, and the chance to taste the delicious fruits of your labor.
