A really wonderful experience - the cooking class was excellent. Cooked some amazing dishes and really enjoyed having such a range of different things to try. It felt very special to do the cooking class in someone’s home - it gave the experience a really charming, cosy feel. The host and the team were wonderful. Thoroughly recommend!

Probably the best thing happening to us in our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. Sitara took us to her own house, we cooked a lot of different dishes, she and her husband were the most welcoming hosts, taking the time and care to explain all the details. Cooking class ended with the 4 of us having dinner. We came for a cooking class and left with a an unforgettable night. 💜

It was the best cooking class and we’ve gone to so many of them. The food was so delicious and fresh. Both Upali and Sathira were so warm, welcoming, patient and the best energy. We will make these dishes back home. Also, having the cooking class at their home was the highlight.

It was a private lesson in a lovely home that blended tradition and modernity. Sithara and Upari, who run a restaurant in the town of Ella, kindly taught us. They explained things slowly and carefully so that we, Japanese people who are not very good at English, could understand, and they even sent us recipes. We had a really fun time talking about each other's cultures. All the dishes we made were delicious and amazing! I highly recommend it!

Our experience was unbelievable. Our hosts picked us up from our hotel in Ella and drove us to their house 15mins away. We then proceeded to cook 11 dishes over 3 hours and then sat down to eat the food. As we went the hosts answered all our questions about cooking and Sri Lanka more broadly. They very easily catered to one of us being vegan. Most importantly, the food was absolutley delicious and we will try to replicate it at home! Both of them were so lovely and we would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic Sri Lankan cooking experience.

OMG . What a find. Sithara and Upali are wonderful hosts in their family home showing us how to cook a 10 course dinner on Christmas Day no less. We got to make everything from roti to four curries and even string hoppers (easier than you think) We ate dinner with them and our hosts were delightful, warm and so generous with their stories, time and shared recipes. We’ll be having a Sri Lankan feast when get home to NZ. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic evening with Sithara and her husband - she was a fantastic teacher, we learnt so much about traditional Sri Lankan cooking, and she was very accommodating of my dietary requirements and intolerances! We made SO MUCH food and shared great conversation over dinner. And such a cute cat! They were even so kind as to drive us home 🥰 Highly recommended experience in Sithara's wonderful family home! Thank you!
