Recent reviews of Chicken Tikka Masala Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Kerry-Ann England, attended Oct 2026: Great experience! We loved that we could ask questions and chef would come over and speak with us. We did a date night for the Chicken tikka masala class. It was our first time. We learned a lot about Indian cuisine that we can definitely incorporate in our cooking. It was held in the breakfast area of the hotel. I was worried that the atmosphere might not be welcoming but I was wrong. Very interactive, informative and experienced chef. Food was sooo yummy
  • 5/5 from Kimberly Rosario, attended Sep 2026: The class was amazing! Teacher was great and the food was delicious!
  • 5/5 from Elise Wisnicki, attended May 2026: This class was amazing! I am a bit of an introvert and the professor made me feel super comfortable.
  • 5/5 from Jacob Dichter, attended Dec 2025: Very good thank you
