Chef Manjiri was very kind, helpful, a real down to earth and relatable person. She laid out everything that we would be using for the dishes and explained where we could get some authentic Indian ingredients and spices to recreate these at home! Really fun and tasty evening.

Chef Manjiri systematically showed us how to make good vegetarian food, going through the recipe, then helping us prepare the ingredients, and then cook the ingredients so we understand how to make the food ourselves. We enjoyed the paneer butter masala and the Fruit Srikhan. She was very patient and answered all our questions so we really understand the dishes.

Jasmine U.

12/07/2022

For my sisterâ€™s bachelorette, I got in contact with Chef Manjiri who very kindly taught us how to make several delicious Indian dishes at her home. Chef Manjiri was very prepared, and her process exceptionally streamlined. As a result, we were able to cook and pack up within the allotted time--which was great since we had another bachelorette event scheduled right after the cooking class. Also, half of us were vegetarian, and she was more than accommodating. Not only is Chef Manjiri well organized, she is also kind, sociable, and patient. She really helped cultivate a relaxing atmosphere, which Iâ€™d say is essential for novice cooks. I canâ€™t speak highly enough about the class, and if you choose to take it, make sure to bring plenty of containers. You will walk out with lots of amazing food.

Meaghan Walsh .

This was such a great experience for my wife and I! We love Indian food and have always wanted to learn how to cook authentic Indian dishes. Chef Manjin created a cooking experience that was quite simple, had few ingredients not found in your pantry and delicious! We came home with dinner for 3-4 people and were able to host friends to enjoy our expert cooking!! Would recommend this to anyone of any level of cooking experience! Jeff from DC.

Manjiri is an excellent teacher! My boyfriend and I really enjoyed her style of teaching, she gave us a rundown of how things would work then went step by step with us. Our meal turned out delicious! We saved the recipe so we can remake it at home. 10/10 recommend her class if you love Indian food!

Anne D.

09/11/2022

Chef Manjiri was an exceptional instructor- she provided us the recipe hardcopy with ability to take notes if we wanted. She answered all our questions, including locations we could be sure to find the spices, then she coached us while we made the meal. It turned out delicious, and we had a wonderful time.

Jeanne L.

06/28/2022

Fantastic class!! I loved that chef Manjiri explained all the ingredients to us and chose recipes that took less than 20ish minutes to make (each). She made Indian cooking accessible for me. I was pretty intimidated before this class. I'm already looking at her other classes and looking to sign up.

We really enjoyed the Festival of Indian Flavors cooking class! Chef Manjiri is very welcoming and provided a great environment for the class.

We are planning to try it again at home in the near future.

Hannah D.

03/27/2022

Chef Manjiri was so amazing to work with and learn from! We learned so much about selecting the best ingredients for the dishes we prepared, how the different courses work together, and general information about Indian flavors. We loved getting to chat with Chef Manjiri and getting to learn more about her. Everything was fresh and one of the best parts ended up being how many leftovers we had! 10/10!! Cannot recommend Chef Manjiri enough!

Rachel S.

03/20/2022

My partner and I had such a wonderful experience with Chef Manjiri! She graciously hosted us in her home and led us through cooking so much delicious, healthy vegetarian food. Weâ€™re so happy to learn from her and to incorporate many of the spices, ingredients, recipes, and techniques into our cooking moving forward. ?

Brandon A.

03/16/2022

My 15-year old daughter and I had a great afternoon with Chef Manjiri! We took the "Indian Vegetarian Feast" class. Chef Manjiri is a friendly and engaging host. She is very knowledgeable about Indian cooking, and was able to demystify some of the techniques that are typically used. The dish selection was perfect, and everything turned out really well. Manjiri provided written recipe instructions, so that we can repeat the recipes at home. We made a huge amount of food that lasted for several delicious meals. Thanks Chef!

My girlfriend and I took the Festival of Indian Flavor with Chef Manjiri.

What a great time!

Quinn D.

Excellent class! Delicious, easy prep meals!

Edna F.

01/04/2022

Manjiri was friendly and kind (including being very patient with my 13 yo son). However, I was disappointed in the class. It felt like hanging out with a home cook who uses shortcuts, not a professional chef. The ingredients were not in the least gourmet (for example, margarine in the "butter" chicken, pre-flavored vanilla yogurt for the mango lassi). I had hoped to learn more about Indian spices and see an expert cook with fresh, high quality ingredients. We had a fun time and the food was tasty but overall the experience wasn't a good value for the money. She's a very nice person, but I want to leave a candid review.

Olga S.

We had a wonderful time, learned new cooking techniques, and got a tasty meal! Thank you, Chef Manjiri!

Had a great experience cooking with Chef Manjiri. Learned about the Indian culture, and the food we made. I would definitely recommend this class to a friend and take another one!

We drove over 2 hours for this experience and it did not disappoint! I'm not much of a cook but Chef Manjiri was very patient and gave just the right amount of help while allowing us to prepare the food to our liking. She is very knowledgeable and gave us great tips for when we will certainly make these dishes in the future. Masks were worn the whole time and then Chef Manjiri gave us a few minutes to enjoy our hard worked meal in privacy which was perfect because the aromatic smells made us very hungry. All in all, a great experience from start to finish while adhering to COVID-19 policies!

Chef Manjiri was incredibly organized, instructive, kind, and easy to learn from! We had a great time learning from her and are so excited to try making these recipes again soon!

In short, Chef Manjiri was an amazing host. She graciously welcomed 6 of us into her home for an afternoon of laughter, cooking, and eating. It was an incredible experience that my partner and I were happy to share with our parents.

Timothy R.

01/22/2020

My daughter and I had a great experience with Chef Manjiri. My daughter has become a vegetarian and we were looking for new dishes to her expand her dinner options. Chef Manjiri took her time explaining the dishes, how to easily prepare them and how to change the seasoning levels. This was a very hands on class as it was just me and my daughter. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try Indian food or more specifically vegetarian Indian food.

Lynn G.

I felt right at home the minute I walked in the front door. Chef Maniiji was welcoming and inviting. The cooking area was relaxing with a "this could be my kitchen" feel to it. The flavors of each dish was approachable and simply easy to enjoy.

Maxwell D.

05/01/2026

It was an overall positive experience, but a bit long and more basic than we were hoping for. This may be more geared toward people new to cooking, rather than those who are hoping to learn new techniques or more advanced recipes. We also didnâ€™t realize that Cozymeal chefs arenâ€™t all trained chefs, which was a bit disappointing.
