Additional Information
My name is Esther Rai, and my biggest passion is creating myriad culinary delights. Ever since I was a child, I’ve enjoyed spending time in the kitchen alongside my mother and sister, taking pleasure in observing and participating in every aspect of the cooking process. There’s no greater joy for me than seeing people savor the meals I prepare. In the wake of Covid-19, I’ve started offering cooking classes as a means to provide financial assistance to my family.
In my classes, I teach how to create dishes like Dal Bhat, Momo, and Thukpa, but I’m also open to accommodating guests’ special requests. Through these classes, my aim is to offer people a taste of a true Nepali kitchen and the entire process of food preparation in Nepal, including a trip to the local market to procure fresh ingredients and engage with the locals.
- Our classes include an immersive trip to a local market, fostering interaction with the locals.
- Our location is incredibly distinct, merely a 5-minute walk from Patan Durbar Square, allowing guests to soak in the authentic Nepalese culture.
- To me, cooking is not just a hobby – it’s a burning passion, and I love sharing it with others.

Explosion of flavours - We enjoyed the historical informations and traditons about Patan and Nepali culture. We liked it to go to the local market to buy fresh vegetables and meat. Was funny to cook with Ester and her colaborator.We've learned how to do momo, chicken curry and dhal bhat. We have discovered new spices. Great experience!!

Amazing food experience - A lovely morning spent some of my Nepalese favourite dishes. Esther was very nice and the food we cooked was excellent. We went to the local market to buy some ingredients and then cooked one complete meal. This was my first experience and I strongly recommend it. It’s a good way to learn about local culture.

Genuine Nepalese experience - We had a fantastic time with Esther, learning to cook all those great dishes we had come to love during our 3 week stay jn Nepal. We not only learned about all the spices and how to cook the meals, but also about local culture. Esther was very patien showing us how to fold the doe for the different types of momos. Highly recommended.

Best thing we did in Kathmandu - We had an amazing time learning to cook Nepalese food, and it was by far the tastiest food of our trip. Thank you to Esther and her family for teaching us and welcoming us into their home.

The best Nepali food you will ever eat - If you are looking for a cooking class in the Kathmandu area, look no further. Ester and Amos are fantastic, the whole experience was amazing, we learned a lot and laughed a lot. The food was absolutely delicious, in fact the best we have had in Nepal so far. This cooking class is a must, we felt so welcome and would come back again in a heartbeat

Jai MoMo Guru - During our recent trip to Kathmandu, Nepal, I we just asked our local guide to take us to a nice Momo joint! We were a group of 8 and was hungry. He asked us whether we are looking for a highfi joint or an authentic joint! We opted for the second option!
He took us to Mo:Mo Guru, which was 30 mts away from our spot. On the way, he called them up Momo Guru and ordered for 10 plates of Momos, all with different vegetarian stuffing!!
Mo:Mo Guru is situated on the Maharajgunj Road, Kathmandu, 44600, Nepal!
A small 15x15' place with just 3 tables! One corner was the Kitchen! About 7 varieties of vegetarian Momos were well distributed in each plate consisting of 10 steaming hot Momos!
We understood that the traditional way they liberally add the 'Local Achaar' ( a thin chutney type made with sesame leaves) on top of hot Momos and serve. To make it more spicy, red hot achaar (like red chilli sauce) is added. We requested them to give both the achaar separately and added according to our requirements!
It was so very yummy! Some of us could complete a plate and also had 4-5 more momos! The Momos there were Very tasty and filling. It was pocket friendly and also safe in our stomach!
