Experience a genuine immersion into local Indian culture with your native host in Bengaluru — a personal, family-style welcome that sets this activity apart from a typical cooking class. Start with an optional visit to a local market with your host, where you'll hand-pick the fresh vegetables, spices, and herbs for your meal and see firsthand why freshness matters in Indian cooking. Then customize your hands-on culinary experience: choose from dishes like mavinakai chitranna (tangy raw mango rice), Chettinad chicken curry, or sambar, spanning different regional flavors and techniques rather than following a fixed menu. Your native host shares genuine insights into Indian cooking and culture throughout, so you leave not just with recipes, but with real stories, techniques, and a taste of authentic Bengaluru hospitality.
Dinner
Lunch
Fresh Lime soda or Seasonal Fruit smoothie along with the full course meal.
Namaste! I'm Namita — a dentist by profession, but a culinary enthusiast at heart. My love for food has led me to spend years experimenting with cuisines from around the world, and I'm thrilled to share that passion with you through this private Cook and Dine experience in Bengaluru. Join me for a hands-on Indian cooking class in Bengaluru where we'll explore the basics of Indian cuisine together — from North Indian classics to South Indian favorites like mavinakai chitranna (tangy raw mango rice) etc tailored to your preferences. Whether you're craving a rich Chettinad chicken curry or a comforting bowl of sambar with fresh vegetables, we'll build a menu around what excites you most. This isn't just a cooking demo it's a full home cooking experience in a local Bengaluru kitchen. You'll learn the techniques, spices, and stories behind each dish, then sit down to a home-cooked Indian meal in the warm company of my family. You'll get an authentic, personal introduction to Indian culinary traditions you won't find in a restaurant or cookbook. Come cook, eat, and connect - and leave with new skills, new flavours, and memories of genuine Karnataka hospitality, right here in Bengaluru.

Best cooking time!

A perfectly managed afternoon. Was greeted by the host and her husband into their beautiful home. Spent the afternoon learning techniques and skills that I’m excited to bring home. The food was expansive and so tasty. Thank you for the wonderful time learning about Indian cooking!

Wonderful class with Dr. Namita. Warm hosts, delicious recipes, comfortable experience as a solo traveller. Highly recommended

I had an absolutely wonderful cooking experience with Dr. Namita in Bangalore. Despite my very last minute request, she graciously accepted and even reached out beforehand to ask what dishes I was interested in learning. She thoughtfully tailored the class to my preferences and generously shared her mother-in-law's treasured paneer puri recipe, which made the experience feel even more special. Dr. Namita and her husband welcomed me warmly into their cosy home, making me feel like a family frien...read more

More Than a Cooking Class

Have you ever imagined what it feels like to meet family while traveling in a foreign country? That was exactly how this experience felt for us. The moment we walked into their home, it didn’t feel like meeting strangers for the first time. It felt like visiting old friends. We sat together, chatted about life, work, relationships, traveling… just very naturally. Warmly. No pressure at all. And then little by little, we started cooking together. What I loved most was that they let us truly ...read more

Response from ViatorMay 26, 2026

Dear Winnie, Your words truly touched my heart. Thank you for describing the experience so beautifully and so thoughtfully. It means so much to know that our home felt warm, welcoming, and familiar to you — just like visiting old friends. We absolutely loved cooking, chatting, laughing, and sharing stories with both of you. The way you connected Indian cooking techniques with Chinese food traditions was such a special moment for us too. Food really does show us how different cultures can still feel beautifully connected. I am so happy that you both enjoyed the spices, the seasoning, the spiced rice, seafood, fish, chicken, and our little family-style dinner together. More than anything, we are grateful that this felt like more than a cooking class — because for us too, it felt like spending time with wonderful new friends. Thank you for your warmth, curiosity, and kindness. We would be so happy to welcome you again whenever you return to India. Until then, you will always have a home and friends here in Bangalore. ❤️ With love, Namita Hommadegourmet / Nami’s Kitchen

Exceptional Experience in Bengalaru

Namita and her husband are gracious hosts, welcoming you into their home and lives. Namita is an excellent chef and teacher eager to share her expertise and love of Indian cooking. If you value authentic travel experiences, you do not want to miss this one. We are a group of 3 friends, aged 24 to 65 and all agreed that if could’ve given this experience 10 stars we would’ve.
