Must do in Sigiriya! - Super nice cooking course! Everything felt excellent from the start. We were with a number of participants and Sajeewa & Suzy were extremely careful that everyone could follow and try everything. It is clear that they do this with a lot of love. The outdoor kitchen was neat and in a nice place. Afterwards we were sent the recipes we had made (and more) as a pdf, so we can make everything at home. Absolutely a must if you love cooking and/or good food!

Lovely and amazing cooking class - We loved our cooking class here at Sajee’s place! Him and his wife are the loveliest people. They also really make sure you get to know the recipes well and how you could make this at your own home. All the dishes were amazing and so fun to make! Would recommend everybody to take this class!

You must do it ! 🙌 - A must-do experience! The 3.5 hours flew by thanks to Sajee and Suzy's captivating explanations. Sajee introduced us to the art of Sri Lankan cooking, while Suzy showed us, step by step, how to prepare each dish. An unforgettable experience that ends with a generous and high-quality tasting! Perfect for couples who can go together.

The best cooking class! - We found this place online but we booked it directly with Sajee as he was very responsive when contacted. Despite we were the only ones, they went above and beyond to make this experience enjoyable and memorable. We made (and also ate) 7 different curries and an extra dish - coconut sambol, which was really our favourite! Sajee and his wife have a lot of knowledge about Srilankan cuisine and they told us a lot of new information and answered on all our questions. Sajee speaks good english and he is also very talkative and funny. At the end they also got us fresh papaya and bananas. We really enjoyed the time with both of them and recommend this cooking class to everyone who loves Srilankan food.
