Getting to learn some Indian cooking techniques with Chef Lokesh was such a privilege. Lokesh has been a professional chef for his whole career and it really shows. My fiance and I are fairly familiar with Indian cuisine and spices but it was Lokesh' techniques which were especially illuminating. He did a great job of demonstrating techniques a few times before handing them off to us to try. I can't recommend his class enough.

I enjoyed an excellent evening with Lokesh and his wife. He has a variety of menus to choose from. I chose one of the vegetarian options, which had some dishes that were simple to make, yet tasty (palak paneer, aloo ghobi, vegetable korma, etc). I was the only person in the class, and I learned some “pro” tips from him, since he has a long hotel restaurant experience. I’ve taken several other cooking classes in India, and I have to say that this one was outstanding for how well organized and professional it was. After cooking, I had dinner with Lokesh and his wife, and we had some excellent conversation. They are a truly nice and friendly couple. And to top it off, they packed the leftovers for me so I was able to enjoy the food again!

This cooking class is wonderful! The best food we've had in India so far. We cooked menu no. 3 with dal. Chef Lokesh showed us the fine little tricks of Indian cuisine. I would recommend this course to my nearest and dearest. And we will gladly repeat it. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

I was able to call in the morning and have a private lesson that evening for dinner. I chose Menu option 1 and made chai, tamarind chutney, a starter, a rice dish, 2 main dishes, a desert, and naan. Everything was clean and all the food was made from scratch from fresh ingredients and spices, including the paneer! The hosts were so nice and we ate the food together after. I got a packet to take home to help me remember what we did. I can't wait to make not only the dishes at home, but also to incorporate some of the additional skills I was able to pick up, like how I can keep dried tamarinds for many months and make fresh chutney as I need it, rather than buying tamarind paste at the store that will go bad quickly. Overall, totally recommend the class and I would like to go back and try a different menu if I have time. Update: I went back for a second class the morning before my train. They allowed me to start half an hour early and helped my catch an uber to my train. And packed up the leftover food for me to take on the train. I chose menu #4, but asked to replace the default dessert (gulab jamun) with halwa. They had never taught it before and it's not on any of their menus but they happily agreed to teach me. Also when we were making it, the recipe calls for ghee at the end but we opted to leave it out and I think the dish was so much better without it! They were so accomodating and I'm glad I went back!

You will love it!.. .. Is what we was told by Chef Lokesh as we prepped the food, and we certainly did! We have both attended numerous cooking classes over the world, and this by far was the best we have attended. Both in terms of the attention of Chef Lokesh, but also the outcome of food! We tried Option 7, and our favourite meal (not just here but of our whole Indian trip) was the Chicken Soweta. All ingredients were freshly grounded in front of us, and the flavour was incredible. Not only did we enjoy the cooking and learning process, but we had a fantastic time exchanging stories over food together with the family. We went in as students/teacher but left as friends. I highly recommend this activity for anyone who loves Indian food and wants to learn how to easily make some local Indian dishes. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home and teaching us these skills! When back in Jaipur we will certainly be back! Frederick and Signe.

Our cooking class with Chef Lokesh was amazing. We learned a lot about the different spices used in Rajistani cooking and cooked two stunning dishes, as well as a beautiful desert. Everything was superb, and we loved the food. The only thing we found was that we had eaten too much food earlier in the day and so we were not able to eat it all! It was lovely also to sit with Lokesh and his wife after we had cooked, to eat the food and to chat. We wish we could have stayed longer,and had more room to eat more food! We had a fantastic evening and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn about rajistani good and enjoy some amazing food with some lovely people. Thanks for our lesson, we look forward to trying what we learned when we get home! Matt and Ingrid.
