My partner and I loved the course. Chef Meena was lovely and a polite host to us the whole time. We cooked shahi paneer with jeera rice and vegetable pakora. With Chef Meena's guidance, we were able to make a delicious dish that feels easy to make. We left with lots of leftovers and we look forward to trying it again by ourselves.

We very much enjoyed our time with chef Meena. We made pakoras, jeera rice, shahi paneer and coriander chutney. Chef Meena had also prepared tamarind chutney and rice pudding ahead of time for us. The food was delicious and we appreciated how simple the recipes were. We can definitely reproduce this at home. We’re very grateful to chef Meena for ensuring that the kitchen was gluten free and the recipes were all naturally gluten free. We would recommend this to anyone interested in learning how to create an authentic Indian meal at home with easy to find ingredients and easy to follow recipes.

We learned many things from chana masala to frying bhatura to making both chutneys. We made shahi paneer of which the base can be splendidly used for malai kofta and butter chicken. We also made chaat and pistachio kulfi and vegetable biryani. There are variations for how to make all of these but what I loved was knowing when to add certain spices and what oil to use. Vegetable or mustard. We didn’t have any Tupperware to bring so she kindly gave us takeout boxes to enjoy all the leftovers at home. Very helpful. The only thing I would have added was masala chai but since I’m off caffeine, we enjoyed hot and cold water.

We really loved our class with Chef Meena, we chose the “from Chana Masala to Biryani” option, and everything was so delicious. The Indian nachos (Chaat) were incredibly addictive. We felt like we were invited over as guests. She was so welcoming, and we would highly recommend.

My friends and I had the most wonderful experience at Chef Meena’s home cooking class. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality that we immediately felt comfortable. Her patience and kindness made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxed, even when we asked extra questions or needed clarification. The food we cooked was exceptional; not only delicious, but carefully explained step by step. Meena went beyond the planned lesson, offering additional tips, techniques, and background that showed both her expertise and generosity as a teacher. The conversation throughout the class was easy and engaging, and it added so much to the overall experience. We left not only with new skills and recipes, but with a genuine appreciation for her passion and care. I highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for an inspiring and welcoming culinary experience.

We had a great experience during our private cooking class with Chef Meena! The space was clean, organized, and made for an intimate home cooking experience. Chef Meena did a great job explaining the steps of each menu item and provided recipes for us to take home. We had the chance to taste the food as we cooked and then left with full portions of everything to enjoy at home. The food was delicious! We would highly recommend Chef Meena to anyone looking for Indian home cooking classes!
