Beautiful experience - It was an incredible experience to enjoy the delicious home-cooked meal by Zareen and immerse myself in a beautiful new culture and lifestyle. The Kabouli was absolutely exceptional, and all the vegetarian dishes were clearly prepared with love and care. I truly felt at home, warmly welcomed as part of the family. Marjan was wonderfully attentive, taking the time to answer all my questions and translating my words to her mother, making the evening even more personal and memorable.

Authentic Afghani food with fantastic host in Delhi - I had the chance to experience Delhi Daily Life's amazing Afghan meal. Zareen, Fara, and their family welcomed us with heartwarming smiles and traditional customs. We spoke about their life-changing experience of moving to a new country, how they adapted to difficult circumstances, and how the current situation in their home country has affected them. As we engaged in these eye-opening conversations, we also watched Zareen in action, demonstrating how she prepares Afghan dishes. She explained the influence of various spices in balancing the flavours of their curries and the proper use of saffron. She even accommodated my dietary requirements, preparing vegan dishes like Kabuli Palao, Banya (Bhindi) and Lobia (Rajma) along with very local Afghani Salad. By the end of our meal, my stomach was full, but my heart wanted more. I highly recommend trying out Authentic Afghan Meal with Zareen and her family for a delicious and authentic meal, along with an amazing time, laughter, and endless conversations.

A taste of Afghan culture in Delhi - Afghan food is one of my favorites, especially the Borani Banjan with Lobia. Being vegetarian and requesting only vegetarian dishes was a change I really enjoyed, knowing that Afghan cuisine is typically non-vegetarian, but Zareen made it possible. Marjan explained the cooking process to us in detail, and we had a great conversation, gaining a deeper understanding of Afghan culture in India. It's amazing to learn that there's a mini Kabul in Delhi, and I think you can experience it through Zareen's delicious food.

Excellent experience - Fara gave us an amazing tour in Delhi, showing us its secrets and its complex magic! We had the pleasure to meet his family and have dinner with them. The exchange between cultures was great. My family and myself are very grateful for meeting wonderful people and knowing a side of Delhi that not many tourists have the opportunity to meet

We had an amazing experience with Farmaz at his home, we had a variety of delicious dishes from Delhi and Kabul, everything was fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this experience. Farmaz is the best helper and coordinator any tourist could ask for. Thank you Faramaz!!
