Chef Shailini was wonderful and went above and beyond to make our night special! Everything was delicious and I canâ€™t wait to impress all my friends by making them some delicious chicken tikka masala! This experience was a surprise birthday present for my dad and it was a BIG hitâ€”what a blast! Will definitely do some more in the future!

This was my second class with Chef Shailini, and it confirmed why I came back. The menuâ€”Kachumbar, Aloo Gobi Mataar, Chicken Tikka Masala, Raita, Dhania Chutney, Saffron Pulao, and Kheerâ€”hit all the â€œrestaurant favoriteâ€ notes, but the real value was learning the how behind each dish. Shailini had everything organized, explained the purpose of each spice, and showed simple techniques that raised our confidence: how to bloom spices properly, build a bright chutney, and get tender chicken without drying it out. The pacing was perfectâ€”hands-on without feeling rushedâ€”and she offered considered spice heat levels. As in my first class with her, the setting was warm and welcoming; everyone felt comfortable asking questions and tasting along the way. I cannot wait to receive the recipes and attempt to try like what I did after the first class. If youâ€™re curious about Indian cooking (beginner or returning student), this class delivers: practical skills, great flavors, and a host who truly cares about teaching. Highly recommended. â€” Han Chang

We had such an incredible experience with Chef Shailini from start to finish! She was extremely accommodating and was very flexible working with me to schedule a time on the day of my wife's birthday. The food was spectacular as was her instruction. We will be using her recipes for years to come. She shared many wonderful and engaging stories about her experience as a chef and about the origins of Indian cuisine. We would highly recommend her class!

I had the pleasure of meeting and cooking with Chef Shailini. The menu and suggestions for drink were sent ahead of time. Chef Shailini took us step by step on how to make the dishes and introduced the class to the aromatic South Asian spices-- most importantly she suggested where and what brands to buy for the best result. For myself with Middle Eastern background , some of the aroma and the similarities of the dishes brought back sweet childhood memories of my mother land. The menu was chuck full of delicious food. The richness and variety of food was a treat for the senses. Cheft Shailini told many good stories about the ingredients, the food and the culture which further enhanced the experience. After satisfying the palate with food and desert, we ended the night with Indian dance that Chef Shailini led. Thank you Chef Shailini, I enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it to others.

Chef Shailini is spectacular. She personalized the evening as we are vegetarian, kept it relaxing, educational, engaging and accommodating. She walked through each step, had us chopping, prepping, and participating in the experience. She also shared tips with us on what to do and where to get spices for our own kitchen. We will be back for another class with her in the near future!

My partner and I had such an incredible experience at Chef Shailiniâ€™s Indian cooking class! She goes above and beyond at every turn to make sure we had such a good experience. She taught us how to best prepare each dish, where to find the ingredients, and the proper cooking techniques. We also had so much fun meeting new people - we had great conversations with a brother and sister who also took the class. We will definitely be taking one of her other classes in the near future! I recommend everyone to take a class with Chef Shailini!

Booked the class Vegetarian Indian Basics with Chef Radhika in Arlington (Arlington Heights)

I booked a class for my boyfriends parents. Prior to the class some changes were made regarding our preferences and chef Radhika communicated them to us promptly. We were able to message back and forth to figure it out. Her replies were always quick and she was very flexible. The day before the dinner cozymeal sent us updates with the location and personal contact info for chef Radhika. Immediately after the cooking class my boyfriend and I received a call from his parents. The never had an experience as unique as they had with chef Radhika. They praised her for her graceful confidence. They were impressed by her ability to create Healthy, traditional, easy meals with ease. We were on the phone with them for about 20mins of seriously constant praises. They had never had traditional Indian food which is different from the Americanized greasy, dense meals you might be used to. Iâ€™m going to book a class for my partner and I so we can get the chef Radhika experience first hand!

What a special evening with Chef Shailini at the helm! We made seven Indian dishes, and Shailini had kindly prepared fresh paneer in advance as a substitute for the chicken in the tikka masala to accommodate a vegetarian diet. Surprise highlights I'm planning to incorporate into my daily cooking were the coriander coconut chutney and the salad chopped up with peanuts and fresh coriander. A lovely, thoughtfully planned experience! Photo shows most--but not all--of our yummy dishes.

Chef Shailini warmly welcomes you into her home. She does a beautiful job of setting the scene for an intimate meal preparation and cozy dinner. We enjoyed her gentle style of instruction and her knowledge of the food and the culture is extensive. The class (Thai Cooking) was fabulous. We learned techniques and how to shop for this meal and then got to sit down and eat with the group. It was an outstanding experience and Chef Shailini's stories of her travels and experiences with famous chefs was a extra bonus! We can't wait until the next class!

Taking this Indian cooking class as a family of four was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, our instructor was welcoming and friendly, instantly making us feel at home. The class itself felt like a journey of flavorsâ€”each dish built on the last, with fascinating stories, techniques, and aromas along the way. One of the unexpected highlights was getting to know the other students. Cooking together, sharing laughs, and comparing notes made the whole experience even more fun and communal. We left not only full and inspired, but genuinely excited to try these recipes again at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, flavorful, and memorable experience!

Chef Shailini was an amazing teacher and host, and we had a great night with great food. From the moment my fiancÃ©e and I walked into her home, she made us feel welcome and comfortable, even with no prior cooking experience. Chef Shalini showed us the right techniques and shared her favorite brands to look for when cooking at home. She also told many entertaining stories that kept everyone laughing while we cooked. We made seven dishes and everything was delicious. After the class, she gave us all the recipes and ingredients, and we canâ€™t wait to try making everything again at home. Overall, it was a wonderful experience - we highly recommend Shalini and hope to take another class with her in the future.

This was truly a fantastic memorable event. My wife and I both loved it. What I didn't realize in advance, was that it is not just a cooking class, but it is also a wonderful party. We met a half-dozen interesting people and we enjoyed a festive meal with many courses, which we all helped to prepare. It was the best party of 2025 to date. We went to the Classic Indian cooking class. Next time, we would try Thai favorites. Thank you Shailini!
