Private Cooking and Dining Experience in Bengaluru

Our cooking class with Dr. Namita was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into her home, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel like part of the family. Dr. Namita’s hospitality was outstanding—she took great care to accommodate everyone’s dietary preferences and food allergies, ensuring that we all cooked something we could enjoy.

During the session, which lasted about 4-5 hours, we prepared several delicious dishes, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, with a special focus on a traditional Indian dessert. Dr. Namita’s expertise in Indian spices was truly impressive—she explained their origins, uses, and how to blend them to create authentic flavors. We also got hands-on experience using cookware commonly found in Indian kitchens, which added to the authenticity of the experience.

Beyond just cooking, the class was filled with great conversations and warm interactions with Dr. Namita and her family, making it more than just a lesson—it was a cultural immersion. If you’re in Bangalore and love food, this class is a must! Highly recommended!

Dr. Namita and her family were incredibly welcoming and accommodating for us. She had reached out to us in advance to accommodate for our preferences, and create a menu based off of our interests. She even gave us the recipes to make sure that we could be able to re-create them when we went back home. We loved meeting her and her family, as well as her sweet dog. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Learned a lot, food was amazing, can’t wait to try to recreate the menu at home! Amazing host, kind, patient, and generous with advice.

My adult son and I visited a private home, where we cooked Indian food alongside our hostess, Namita. The outcome was outstanding. Using fresh ingredients and a variety of aromatic spices, we prepared over six dishes, making for a remarkably delicious culinary experience! 6* experience.

Such a lovely experience with Dr Namitha. She and her family were very sweet along with their cute dog Babu. We learned a lot about some unique dishes to the area and hope to try it out on our own. Highly recommend, you feel right at home!

My partner and I had a fantastic time. We were able to book on short notice, and Namita put together a menu based on our tastes and curiosities. She was very knowledgeable about both techniques and ingredients. The hands-on experience with her family (and sweet pets) made it a perfect mix of learning, fun, and delicious food.

It was wonderful experience at Nami’s Kitchen. Strongly impressed at Nami’s functionally organized kitchen system with lots of Indian spices.
It was fun cooking with her and her husband and many Indian dishes have been done in the pleasant conversation.
Thank you very much for the time. We all enjoyed delicious Indian food.

This was a really fun class and Namita is a great cook. There was a nice variety of dishes and the food we made was some of the best we ate on our trip. It was fun to hear how she sourced all her ingredients, they're about as fresh as she could possibly find.

This was a highlight of my trip to India. Namita and her family were all welcoming and so kind. The food that we made was some of the best food I had in India and I look forward to impressing my friends and family back home.

Such a fun class! Namita was great at explaining everything we were doing and gave us lots of recommendations for how we can cook the recipes she gave us. The food we made turned out excellent and was some of my favorite dishes I have ever had! I highly recommend for everyone to take this class if you love cooking or just want to learn a little bit about cooking Indian food. Namita was also great at communicating before the class to make sure we knew where and when to meet her as well. Highly recommend this experience!

Absolutely amazing experience! Very knowledgeable and fun to learn from. Food was awesome and customizable to our preferences!!! Highly recommend!

Great afternoon spent at the class. Loved the simplicity of the recipes and the food was fabulous. Have used them at home to rave reviews from my family.

Namita, her husband and the dog warmly welcomed us and we got to try delicious local fruits. After that we cooked several Indian dishes, which were incredibly tasty. A relaxed conversation with all „three“ family members created a friendly atmosphere. The food was excellent and we were allowed to take the recipes home with us.

A fanatic experience with Dr Namita. I had a great time discussing dishes, recipes, ingredients, spices and Indian culture. It was my first time visiting India and words cant describe how welcoming Dr Namita and her husband, Nishit were. Great conversation while enjoying a beautifully prepared meal! Thank you so much!

Great guest, great experience! Enjoyed the lessons add the eating, and the company. Definitely would do it again!

I took advantage of my quick stop in Bangalore and decided to take an Indian cooking class and I didn't regret it. Cooking with Namita was a wonderful experience. Her and her husband helped me understand more than just Indian food concepts but also a little more about the Indian's culture and habits.

Cooking with Nami was a wonderful experience. I am from the US and am in India with my husband for 5 weeks during the summer. I took a number of similar cooking classes throughout my time in India. I love Indian food and love cooking but my own attempts have always come up short. This class helped me to understand my previous missteps as well as strategies or dishes I’d never even thought to try. My other classes were also very good, but Namita’s was much more personalized, relaxed, and warm.

Dr. Namita is extremely professional, motherly, funny and talented. Genuinely. She obviously has many years of practice to share but, as a teacher in her professional life, she also understands how to teach and not just show by example.

She came up with a personalized list of dishes that I had been wanting to try or that I hadn’t learned before, she had them typed and printed for me with thorough instructions. She also accommodated my being vegetarian very easily.

Our many dishes turned out better than restaurant quality! I was so impressed and am eager to practice cooking the recipes once I’m home!

I admit that I was feeling a bit awkward singing up for the class alone, since my husband wasn’t able to join me this time. It wasn’t awkward at all - Namita, her husband, and her son made me feel so welcome, and we spent a lot of time chatting about many different topics - before, during, and after our meal together.

Her home is lovely and her knowledge of spices, homemade ingredients, healthy tips and tricks, making cooking easier in different situations - it was all so impressive.

Thank you, Namitaji, for such a fun and memorable session! I will text you photos of my future attempts!
