A must-do in Delhi! Delicious food, fantastic experience. - Wow! What a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you want to experience the best of Indian cuisine, why not learn how to make it yourself? The cooking experience with Neha not only gave us the opportunity to taste delicious local food, we now have the ability to make it at home. Of course, we will miss Neha's fantastic instruction, but it's a start! The class itself is very well structured, we were paired two to a cooking station and each given pre-portioned trays with all of our ingredients neatly laid out. She then walked us through each dish, ensuring we were all keeping up with proper timing and cooking instructions. She also accommodated the vegetarians we had in the group. By the end of the class, we all sat down and enjoyed the delicious meal we had prepared for ourselves, and then headed off to the market to see how locals shop and buy some fresh ingredients for our home. I highly recommend this activity for anyone in Delhi, whether you are a local or a tourist. We will certainly be back.

Delicious food with an incredibly hospitable host! - We had such an amazing time at Saffron Palate! Neha was so hospitable and took great photos of us. The butter chicken recipe was my absolute favorite, best I had in Delhi! Neha was even kind enough to hold our luggage on our last day since our flight was late at night, and her driver even provides us with a drop off nearby. The house and kitchen is beautiful with a gorgeous patio. Also, her dog is adorable!We would definitely return next time we visit Delhi.

Amazing experience - Excellent lesson in local cuisine set on a beautiful rooftop terrace.
Neha is a fantastic cook who is warm & welcoming & makes you feel at ease.
We made 3 types of bread, Bombay potato’s and a chicken curry, which we ate afterwards and it was absolutely delicious.
Afterwards Neha took us to a local market where we were able to purchase some local spices.
Than you do much
Loved this experience
I will definitely be visiting again

How better to experience India than in the kitchen - The class was amazing! We started off with a guided tour over the market to buy some missing ingredients which was a brilliant experience in itself. Afterwards we made 3 dishes and prepared 3 types of bread, Neha is a wonderful teacher who keeps an eye on everyone’s progress and helps where needed. We felt very welcome in her home and kitchen!

Highly recommended - Nena was a consummate professional and a very enjoyable person. She graciously opened her home to the four of us and was interested in who we were. Her class was organized and informative with hands-on steps along the way. She had a gorgeous dining room where we ate the fruits of our labor then walked us through the somewhat chaotic market energy though it was late and almost about to close. It was a very enjoyable experience and we would highly recommend it to those looking for a unique and authentic Delhi experience.

Awesome day learning so much about Indian food and culture. Doing the lesson with others was an added bonus. Thanks Neha - A fantastic day, learning so much about Indian cooking and spices. The visit to the spice market was a highlight. We joined three others which added to the fun. Everything was well set out and explained clearly. Couldn’t believe I was making breads and roti, so easy. Eating what we had prepared with a local beer was a wonderful way to end our time. Neha was an excellent, knowledgeable and friendly hostess. Would definitely recommend and would do it again.

Simply delightful and incredibly delicious! - Neha was absolutely amazing! We can’t say enough positive things about her. Her passion for cooking shows and her past experience as a trainer is a great asset. My husband and I had a private class that was one of the best highlights to India. We have taken many cooking classes and hers was literally the best for learning the native cuisine and enjoying the meal like we were eating with a long term friend. Thank you Neha, we look forward to making the recipes when we get home! And thank you for the great little cookbook!!
