Can’t wait to try this at home! - The class was so loving and friendly, we felt very much taken care of and guided through the process of learning how to cook momos. The momos were delicious and the time just flew by! We had a great time!

Great local experience! - Great experience to do at a central location in Pokhara. It’s run by a father/son combo who were very friendly, enthusiastic and happy to answer any questions we had! You get to make it all from scratch, and leave with a belly full of delicious momos. Would recommend to all!

Incredible experience for father/son from Michigan USA - Perfect experience! My son and I are visiting Pokhara from Michigan USA and wanted to take a local Nepali cooking class. I contacted them this morning and they responded right away and arranged to host us even though it was same-day. We are foodies and loved the entire experience making chicken momos… Bamdev and his son Samundra opened up their home/family-run hotel for the class. It sounds weird calling it a class; it was more like 4 guys hanging out cooking together. My son ground the ginger and garlic on an old stone while I chopped onions, peppers, and all the other ingredients along with cilantro picked from the backyard garden. We hand-mixed the dough from scratch and rolled it out, and we learned two ways of making the chicken momos and laughed a lot as it wasn’t as easy as it looked. We made the sauce from scratch too. Finally we ate everything we made and it was incredible. My son and I left stuffed and couldn’t eat any more. Where else can you get a really fun 2-hour cooking experience and a full dinner all in one place?! I want to go back some day and try making Dahl Bhat. Thanks guys for a great night!

Private cooking course for authentic Nepalese dish - We learned how to make Dal Bhat in a very authentic and familiar setting. We got many tips and tricks out of the cooking course and the ingredients were also slightly adjusted to suit my dietary restrictions. It was so nice to eat lunch together with the family and get a glimpse into Nepalese life. If you are in Pokhara, we recommend to take a course with Cook with Delight at Hotel Diplomat.

Unveiling Nepali Culture Through Food & Family in Pokhara! 🇳🇵 - Pokhara offered more than stunning scenery - it gifted me a truly unforgettable experience with this incredible family! Laughter, conversation, delicious Nepalese food, and even a sprinkle of Nepali language learning - it was a perfect blend of cultural immersion and fun. This laid-back family welcomed us with open arms, sharing fascinating stories, cooking tips, and a fantastic vibe. We even enjoyed some post-class beers together, making memories that will last a lifetime. This is what made this experience so special - the genuine warmth and passion of this family. A heartfelt thank you to this amazing family for helping me experience the true essence of Nepali food and hospitality!

A fun alternative activity and we made great momos! - Really enjoyed this 2 hour evening learning how to make momos from absolute scratch, with constant oversight and relaxed humor provided by our host. This activity takes place in a working hotel (Diplomat) and the kitchen is large and homey. I signed up solo but was happy to have 3 young teachers from the Netherlands also sign up, which made it so much more fun and less awkward for me. We each went home with recipes and cooking tips, full bellies and good memories. Put your expectations aside and enjoy - was out of my typical comfort zone but I enjoyed it. Take a beer or wine to have with the momos!

Loved learning to cook authentic Nepalese food! - We cooked a lot of tasty food and I was lucky enough to have the chef all to myself. He was very kind and packaged up all the food we cooked so that I could share it with my Nepali friends at lunch! They loved it!

Delicious chicken momos 😋 - Great fun to learn how to make momos and afterwards eat them. Easy to contact and book the experience. The only thing missing in the ingredients is the coriander that I love. But they still tasted fantastic 😍. The teaching was very good and I will definitely try and cook them back home.
