Fabulous! - What a great place. Wonderful Spice Garden where we learnt about the medicinal benefits of the different spices. Hands -on outdoor cooking class, followed by enjoying the fabulous Sri Lankan dishes we made. An excellent back and neck massage finished off our evening perfectly. Friendly and helpful staff made it really special for us.

Really worth it. A great experience. - It was fantastic to spend an evening with everyone at the Kandy Authentic Cooking Class. The location is great, cooking outside next to a spice garden. We had two great cooks to show us how the food is prepared and talk us through the ingredients and spices. And I guess the proof of it all is that the meal we had was fabulous. A great way to spend an evening, to learn more about Sri Lankan food and to have a meal as a family that we cooked together. We will definitely be recreating this back in the UK, but maybe not in such a warm and and green place.

Would we do it again! - A great experience! Great authentic cooking class. Our teacher Sasi was very friendly and constantly trying to bring us closer to the local cuisine. Everything was perfect from the organization to the final meal. Thank you!

A must in Kandy - This was, by far, one of the best experiences we’ve had so far in Sri Lanka. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and I can’t think of anything that could be improved upon. We can’t wait to add these recipes to our food rotation at home.

Cooking Class - Super nice experience in an open kitchen outside. We made several dishes, in a traditional way. The food was super tasty, better than in most restaurants we've been to.

Best food activity in Kandy! - An absolute must do!! All the spices and vegetables are grown on site (for the class and wider community), lovely hosts and the portions were huge! Nila is a great cook and teaches you everything from start to finish. I’d 100% do the class again!

Great experience - Amazing experience, very well thought out and executed. We really enjoyed it- you get to chose when they pick you up at your hotel, and special request any specific dishes as well as whether you want veg, meat or fish. We requested a dhal which was great and fish too. Loads of food- in total 7 dishes- nothing goes to waste though. Great experience
