Cooking class in Kandy - We had a great time learning traditional Sri Lankan cuisine with this lovely family. We made some delicious curries and enjoyed ourselves very much.
For anyone visiting, the house is a bit tricky to locate but can be found slightly further up the road from the big Buddha entrance.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Really “The Best Kandy Kitchen” in the whole city! - The Greeting by three girls and their grandmother was nice and it just kept getting better. Best & freshest food we have had in Sri Lanka. The raw ingredients to the 6 delicious curries was so informative. We loved every minute of the lessons. We truly and highly recommend this experience.

Unforgettable experience in Kandy - This was the coolest! It was just me in the class, and we made like 11 different curries. I learned so much - from the proper way to grate a coconut to how Sri Lankan chefs taste the curries they make. The only downside was that it was hard to get an Uber or a taxi to take me back afterward, since it was a Saturday night and the location was a bit out of the way, but finally we succeeded. It would be nice if they included hotel drop-off as part of the class. It was a joy being in this multi-generational family house, with the instructor's kids scampering about and the grandmother helping out with the class. I wouldn't have missed it, and neither should you!

Best Sri Lankan experience, authentic and full of flavors! - Best Kandy kitchen bears its name very well since we enjoyed our best meal in Sri Lanka!
A very welcoming family, a pretty house perched on the heights of Kandy, an authentic cuisine full of flavor, people with a big heart and a beautiful smile full of humanity. A real cocktail perfect for a high quality experience.
You will quickly feel at home and share a truly authentic moment.
We would like to note that it is not a tourist catch at all, here we cook with family with joy and good humor.
They gladly share their secrets for successful curries. You will be allowed to enjoy in quantity after the 2 hours or so of preparation and you will leave with a belly full of good things and a head full of good memories!
In short we can only recommend. Do not hesitate!

Finally! Authentic Sri Lankan food! - This was an amazing experience. Picked up by the family Tuktuk, we were whisked away to Kandy market where we were shown how to select and buy the best fresh produce.
Being able to see the food from market to table was incredible. Once all was bought (3 large shopping bags full), off to the family house we went.
Cooking in an actual family kitchen with 3 generations of the family was just fantastic.
And then the food… it was delicious! Over 10 different dishes to dazzle the tastebuds.
We were so full!
An amazing time and well worth it.

Super good, delicious and fun experience! - Super good, delicious and fun experience!
Before the cooking class, we went to the market together where we bought fresh vegetables and fish. Very fun to start this way!
After this, the cooking class started and we joined a tremendously warm and welcoming family.
We learned to make several super tasty vegetable and fish curries, under the careful guidance of our wonderful hosts!
Thank you for a pleasant and tasty evening!
