Great experience cooking with Jaya and Avi! - The private cooking lesson was amazing! Jaya and Avi were very nice to us and accommodating, as well as showing us what its like to experience the islands cuisine as a local. They took us to the markets to buy groceries and souvenirs, and taught us how to make traditional indo-mauritian food. They were very knowledgeable and generous to us as well. Would go back!

Best thing that could’ve happened to me - This experience was simply amazing. Java and Aby are beautiful people - inside and out. But they’re not only kind, they are also as local as it can get. Both know a lot about the island. It was almost an educational session - historically and culturally - while at the same time I learned a lot about the food and cooking there. The food tasted delicious. Everything was made and served with love. I would 100% recommend this to anybody visiting the island. Thank you both for an amazing day :) PS: Don’t have anything planned afterwards. If you get along you might just end up spending the day together!

Fabulous market tour and cooking class - This was a fabulous day, we met Jaya, Avi and Jaya's parents at their house and talked a little about Mauritius and Mauritian food then Avi drove us to the market with Jaya for a brilliant tour. First we were given gateaux piments and taken to a local fishmonger to choose a fish. At the market we had fresh roti and dal puri with a local milk shake then a extensive tour around the vegetable market where Jaya explained all the different vegetables, herbs and spices, it was a very hands on experience smelling the herbs and spices and understanding what to do with all the different vegetables. When everything was bought for lunch we were given a large coconut so we could taste fresh coconut water. Avi was very knowledgeable about all things Mauritian and very passionate about his country and taking people to see the real Mauritius. When we arrived back at their house a feast was prepared by Jaya and and her mum which we participated in whenever we wanted to. The end result was the best masala fish curry we have ever tasted. A genuine Mauritian experience which I would encourage everyone to do at least once!
