Wonderfully authentic cooking experience - Excellent introduction to Sri Lankan curry making. Our host was very welcoming and patient whilst explaining the art of Sri Lankan food preparation. We created 6 different dishes and each was delicious. Highly recommended experience for those who love cooking.

Wonderful Galle Fort culinary experience - We booked the 4:00pm class and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves learning how to prepare and cook authentic Sri Lankan food from our excellent chef. Then we sat in the restaurant and ate the delicious food including pumpkin, beetroot, long bean, spinach, mushroom and prawn curry. Afterwords we bought some of the ingredients from spice shop run by the chef’s husband, they are a lovely couple and we would recommend this activity. Enjoyed a few drinks in the evening at the beautiful Galle Fort.

Best cooking class ever - This was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our three-week holiday in Sri Lanka. Sanju and her husband were exceptionally accommodating and delivered an engaging and highly informative introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine.
Together with another couple, we cooked seven incredible dishes. Interestingly, the vegan dishes emerged as everyone’s favourites – I’d definitely suggest focusing on those! In fact, some of these dishes were the best meals we had during our entire time in Sri Lanka.
The evening itself was not only great fun but also incredibly educational. We picked up practical cooking skills and invaluable tips. The recipe booklet we received at the end has been a game-changer, allowing us to recreate the flavours of Sri Lanka back home in the UK.
This cooking class is a must, regardless of your skill level in the kitchen. We couldn’t recommend it more!

Not to be missed - We loved our stay in Galle and this was certainly a highlight. Galle was at the end of our Sri Lankan trip so the cooking class was perfect as we learnt to cook the delicious curries we had been enjoying for the last few weeks. As well as learning to cook six dishes we also learnt about the spices and how to use them and we also picked up some handy cooking tips. The food tasted just delicious.
The presentation the class was excellent and extremely professional. We would highly recommend.

Great class - We had an enjoyable cooking class with Sanju. Our group could have been seen as very challenging as it included included 4 locals, one of whom is an exceptional cook. However, Sanju kept it interesting and fun for all six of us. The six dishes that we prepare were delicious and the recipe pamphlet means that the dishes can be recreated at home. Highly recommend.

Delicious Food, Great Setting, Family Friendly - This was a great experience for us and our three young children. It was highly interactive and Sanju does a great job to ensure everyone is able to participate in the preparation of the dishes. The duration of the lesson at 90 minutes is right on point. Enough time to enjoy the experience and the meal whilst still leaving plenty of time to explore Galle Fort.
The curries, in terms of flavour and ingredient combinations, are very different (better) to those that are available at most other hotels and restaurants. The ingredients and the flavours are spectacular. As was the setting. The cooking lessons are conducted in an outdoor kitchen in the garden behind the family's restaurant. It added real atmosphere to the experience.

Incredible Galle Market Visit & Cooking Lesson with an Award-Winning Chef - The cooking class began with executive sous chef Roshan Rosa taking us through the immaculate Galle fruit & vegetable market followed by the beach-side seafood market to select fresh ingredients for our lesson. He is very knowledgeable and told us how to tell if fish are fresh and he nutritional value of the various local vegetables and fruit on sale. We then returned to the Galle Fort Hotel and arranged to regroup later to cook lunch. Meanwhile Roshan and his team prepped all the garlic, onion, chillies & the rest of the produce. The team assembled a portable kitchen and together with my daughter they made around 6 dishes; tuna curry, prawn curry, a dry aubergine curry, string bean curry, grated beetroot curry, banana flower curry and a number of delicious others. Roshan explained the use of the spices and ingredients throughout the process including quantities. We then enjoyed an incredibly fresh and delicious lunch. My favourite was the tuna, my husband loved the prawns. It was a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds and Roshan is not only a very talented prize-winning chef, he is absolutely lovely too. We are hoping to repeat this culinary extravaganza at home but suspect we will need to take Roshan back to Australia with us!
