So helpful spoke great English and food was amazing
Nish was fantastic and walked through all of the steps with ease. Food was incredible and plentiful. Full of flavour and spice. A must do while in Kathmandu!
Wonderful chefs! Loved the experience
Very great people experience learning how to cook MOMO, lovely couple very good English and makes you feel like your cooking at home with your family
We loved the momo making class! Our guides were super friendly, knowledgeable and provided great hands-on instruction. The momos were so tasty and we got a whole recipe book (e-version) included. Highly recommend!
We had the most amazing experience! Our hosts Nish and Bikram were warm friendly and spoke terrific English! The kitchen is spotlessly clean and we were guided step by step through the process of making 3 different types of momos! No hesitation to give this the highest recommendation!
This Momo making class is a must do if you’re in Kathmandu. Hidden in the back streets of Thamal is a gorgeous cooking academy. Nish and Bikrom were amazing hosts and even better chefs! We have a whole recipe book to take back with us to keep recreating our Nepali recipes at home 😍
Amazing experience, the staff were so friendly and helpful, they made the cooking process fun and engaging. The activity itself was a blast, and the momos you make are delicious. The kitchen was very clean and there is a dining area where you get to enjoy your hard work after cooking! Great value for money and an impressive dish to take home to cook for your friends and family to show them a taste of Nepal. I would absolutely recommend this to everyone.
Very, very nice. The chefs present were very friendly and open, and the course was well prepared. Would laughingly recommend this to anyone who is even remotely interested in this. Excellent daytime activities!
Bikram and Nishma were super super lovely hosts and teachers. Bikram helped us to get the ingredients from a nearby market, while Nishma enthusiastically guided us through the whole process of cooking three dishes: chatamari, momo, and carrot halwa (which was my fav). Bikram was also involved in the cooking process, and both teachers really helped us to feel comfortable during the class. Thank you both!
