    We had a brilliant experience cooking with Sona! She was incredibly knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. We made cauliflower pakoras, butter masala paneer, jeera rice, parathas and masala chai. One of the best meals we’ve eaten this trip!

    Unbelievable cooking class with Sona! Sona is an incredibly talented cook! We feel very lucky to have been able to experience a cooking lesson in the comfort of Sona’s home kitchen! Sona is very patient and shares very useful and informative tips throughout the lesson. She is friendly yet professional and an absolute charm to be around! The food we created together was delicious and I can’t wait to try these recipes at home! When in Varanasi again we shall certainly do another lesson with some different recipes! Thank you Sona ❤️. If you give it a try you will not be disappointed!

    Sona takes the time to get acquainted, tell things about the country and the food, she explains well and does this with enthusiasm. We were a family of 4 people (two teenagers), by the small kitchen would not go with more people.
