I have often been asked about my culinary background, to which I facetiously respond that I come from a culture that has been focused on food for the past five thousand years. Certainly, quite a resume! Coming from a heritage that has food as the epicenter of most occasions, I found myself yearning to replicate the scrumptious delicacies, be it from high end Indian restaurants in Mumbai to street food in smaller towns such as Lucknow.

Donna M.

12/05/2019

Meghna was fantastic! I loved her introduction of spices and how each one was used. The rice was different and amazing as well as all of the savory dishes. Some of the best Indian dishes I have had even after travelled to India for 5 months. Thanks , we will be back!

Jacob Z.

11/16/2019

Meghna was incredibly knowledgeable put together an awesome menu & experience - not to mention the food was delicious. I would highly recommend her class!

Noelle T.

04/18/2019

Loved all the info about food in different regions of India and when/how to use certain spices. Food was delicious -- the chef and her recipes were easy to follow. Class ran over by 30 mins, though it was a pleasant class and I liked that we didn't feel rushed to finish.

Esteban S.

03/15/2019

Chef Megha created a great experience for us...explaining the centerpiece of Indian cuisine, which are the spices and why certain foods and oils are used in Indian cooking. Super happy I took this with her. Thanks Chef Meghna!

Matthew L.

02/15/2019

Chef Meghna was a wealth of knowledge with Indian food, spices, and history of it all. I donâ€™t really cook so it was great to have her walk us through everything step by step. She was truly an amazing chef and I would definitely do another class with her in the future.

Jenny L.

10/22/2018

Meghna is personable and funny, while also sharing vast knowledge and experience. She has small, helpful tips, as well as a kind was of reassuring new cooks that finesse comes with practice.

Jenny G.

09/28/2018

This was a super fun night! Meghna made Indian cooking really accessible and helped us at each step. She also taught us about Indian cuisine and the typical spices used. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun activity and/or date night!

Kurtis C.

01/07/2018

Megha was really great and informative. She did a nice job of balancing the cooking and the information so we enjoyed the evening and the company but at the same time we were learning and she was making sure we had everything we needed to cook the recipients at home. I think she mentioned that she is planning a street food CozyMeal option and when she does weâ€™ll be the first to sign up. Would definitelt recommend her classes to anyone

Aubrey G.

05/21/2017

Great cooking class. I highly recommend it!

Riley M.

05/17/2017

Chef Meghna was absolutely fantastic. She provided upfront insights about regional cooking practices and spice usage prior to jumping into food preparation. Her kitchen made for a very personal experience that created a friendly, sharing atmosphere. We freely asked Chef Meghna questions that she was happy to answer. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Jide A.

04/27/2017

Chef Meghna was a master in the kitchen. She gave us an small history of Indian cuisine and all the spices and then we started cooking. The dishes were fragrant, spicy and delicious. She is highly recommended.

Preethi R.

04/17/2017

Chef Meghna was amazing! She was very sweet, and gave us great advice on how to translate these recipes to make at home. Meghna's house is very homey and beautiful, and we truly enjoyed the conversation and recipes.

Jacqueline U.

04/10/2017

That this ended up being a private lesson was unplanned, but made for a focused and fabulous class. A lovely introduction to spices and a little Indian history was a perfect overture and we went right to work. Chef was generous with her time and taught us valuable cooking skills. We had a lot of fun and created and ate a memorable Indian meal.

Alex R.

02/21/2017

Fun and delicious food!

Staci H.

03/28/2018

We had a fantastic experience with Chef Meghna. We went for a team building activity, and it was better than I even thought it would be. Chef Meghna taught us so much about Indian cuisine. We learned about all the spices, spice holder, different oils to cook in and why. It was very informative but also fascinating. AT the end we had this AMAZING food that I thought I could never make. I would highly recommend Chef Meghna.

Anna K.

05/22/2017

This was my first time doing anything like this, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Meghna is super friendly, chatty, and easy going, and the group I was with were really enjoyable as well. I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of format but I enjoyed the fact that we were each given a recipe to "own" and we prepped and cooked it for the others while also learning about the other dishes as they were prepared. It was an easy pace and the food was delicious! Wish I could have eaten more!

leila B.

05/21/2017

She is super friendly , loved my experience with her , i will defeat take classes with her again

Jade T.

05/20/2017

Chef Meghna was amazing! She was extremely helpful and informative with all the spices and always checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves while also learning. She's a very friendly and patient teacher with great sense of humor and showed us easy ways to make really tasty food - I couldn't believe the dishes that came out were made by us! Absolutely delicious, highly recommend her!!

Maddie Z.

05/17/2017

We had a great time and appreciated Chef Meghna's patience, flexibility, and wealth of knowledge. Weâ€™d never cooked Indian food before but feel like we learned enough about the spices to try it at home. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!
