A must do Cooking Experience

We had a great afternoon/evening doing Sajee's Cooking Class. Sajee was very personable and explained the different spices and cooking methods used in Sri Lanka. We really enjoyed getting involved with the preparation rather than just watching. He was very descriptive which made it very interesting. Then we got to sit down and eat the delicious food, which was a highlight. Such a fantastic evening to learn more about Sri Lankan food and cooking. So inspired we all bought traditional cooking...read more

Fantastic

The Sri Lankan cooking class was absolutely wonderful! The instructors were incredibly dedicated, friendly, and passionate throughout the whole experience. The activity was fantastic from start to finish, and we learned so much while having a great time. Definitely one of the best activities we did. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

Not only nice food but a nice learning experience :)

Sajee and his wife were very kind, they spoke good English and we could ask everything we wanted. The food was delicious and afterwards we got some extra recipes with extra comments for back home. It was overall a nice experience!

Food is life and it certainly was tonight

We had an amazing cooking treat at Sajee Place Cooking Class - both Sajee and his wife were very entertaining and we learnt so much about the food, herbs and spices and the way to cook using them. We learnt 5 different curries. Tasting the food afterwards was a great social experience as all. This is a great highlight of our trip here and we will start practicing once we are back home
