Unforgettable experience with fabulous hosts - This was hands down the best experience we have had in Sri Lanka so far, and it will remain one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, both Janaka and Nilu welcomed us into their beautiful home with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt like part of their family. They are not only wonderful hosts but also incredible teachers and storytellers, and spending time with them was an absolute joy. The cooking experience itself was fantastic! We had so much fun learning to prepare delicious Sri Lankan dishes using fresh ingredients. Every step of the way, they explained the traditions behind the recipes and shared tips that made it easy and enjoyable. What made it even more special was the way they connected the food to their culture, their community, and their personal stories. We didn’t just learn how to cook; we gained a deeper understanding of Sri Lankan life, values, and hospitality. Beyond the cooking, it was such a pleasure to sit and talk with them. We laughed, shared experiences, and truly felt at ease in their company. It was like spending the day with old friends, even though we had just met. Their generosity and genuine care made the whole experience unforgettable. This is an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Kandy. It’s more than just a cooking class, it’s a chance to meet amazing local people, experience authentic Sri Lankan culture, and take home not only recipes but also beautiful memories. We cannot recommend it highly enough, and we are so grateful to Janaka and Nilu for opening their home and hearts to us.

Fantastic class, delicious food and super friendly hosts - Amazing cooking class, definitely the best thing we did in Kandy. We were collected from our hotel by Janaka, taken to their beautiful outdoor kitchen and cooked a wide variety of delicious dishes with Nilu. Each step was explained to us by Janaka and we got involved with making many of the dishes. We sat down at the end to enjoy an abundance of food and can't wait to replicate it at home. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will be recommending to any family/friends that travel to Sri Lanka.

Best cooking class in Kandy - We had the best time at the cooking class with Janaka and Nilu! They have the most amazing outdoor kitchen, we cooked more dishes than I could count and they made sure we understood the theory behind the flavours. Not to mention how delicious each dish came out, and they even shared the recipes with us to take home. We’d recommend this to anyone visiting Kandy!

This is truly a highly recommended activity! - It was truly an amazing cooking class. I’ve attended several cooking classes in Sri Lanka before, but this was by far the best experience. The location is away from the busy city, surrounded by nature, which makes it very relaxing. The kitchen has been recently renovated, so it’s spotless and beautifully designed, allowing you to cook while enjoying the natural setting. The curry is prepared with a minimal selection of spices, which makes it easy to recreate at home. Even those who don’t enjoy spicy food can still appreciate it (though they’re happy to adjust the level of spice if you like it hot). Some of the ingredients are freshly picked from their own garden, adding a wonderful freshness to the dishes. The explanations are very clear and logical. The host speaks excellent English and is always full of warm hospitality. You can even purchase an original-design apron, which makes a great souvenir. From the curry to the dessert and fresh fruit, everything was absolutely delicious. This is truly a highly recommended activity!

Fantastic morning. Would definitely recommend! - What an experience! If you're in Kandy make sure you book in for this excellent cooking class. The recipes were super tasty and a pdf is shared with you so that you can replicate at home! The food was delicious and many of the ingredients are home grown. Nuli’s outdoor kitchen is beautiful and can certainly accommodate a group up to 8! What’s more is that Janaka (Nuli’s lovely husband) picked us up from our accommodation in Kandy and dropped back. Thank you so much for an incredible morning cooking!

Great cooking class - A great cooking class with Nilu and her husband. They are incredibly nice and you'll learn a lot! I would recommend them!

Delicious friendly cooking class - We thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class with Nilu & Janaka. We created some delicious dishes together and they explained everything so clearly and even gave us a pdf after with all the recipes! The setup was also so beautiful, with a great outdoor kitchen that had ample space for our group of 6. I would definitely recommend this class to all looking to try some Sri Lankan cooking!

Great recipes and warm homely atmosphere - If you're in Kandy make sure you learn some new skills with this wonderful cook! Easy, super tasty recipes that you help prepare, eat and can replicate at home! 🤤 A lot ingredients they also grown themselves which makes everything super fresh. Plus you get picked up from your accommodation in Kandy and dropped back by her lovely husband Janaka, he also does day trips out to Sigirya, Minneriya National Park and Polonnaruwa!

Unmissable experience if you love great food, chatting with great people, or warm hospitality! - We had SUCH an amazing time with these guys! Honestly the best thing I've done on holiday I a long time. We arrived in the morning and were welcomed by Nila, her husband and lovely kids - then it was right down to the cooking. We learned a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine, how to cook everything, how it's unique to this beautiful island - all within the stunning surrounds of their home and garden. They are so friendly and we chatted a lot about all sorts of topics too. The conversation was always fun and interesting. Then we had lunch, which was DELICIOUS. Can't wait to try cooking everything ourselves when we're back home.

An unforgettable morning! - An unforgettable morning to cook with Nilu and her husband. What a chance to have met and shared these few hours with this charming and attentive couple. A private course of a dozen typical Sri Lankan dishes prepared with all the recipes shared and adapted to reproduction at home. An exquisite lunch. An infinite thank you for their hospitality, humanity and valuable advice. A moment out of time.
