Not to be missed!
We learned to make momo’s as a family and we had an absolutely AMAZING time! Sushila and Subita are two of the most friendly, funny and welcoming women I have ever met. Can’t recommend it enough!

Enjoyable time cooking with fun instructors
I had the privilege of having a private momo making class today. From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcomed. I’m not a skilled cook, but Shusila met me where I was at. She was patient in her instruction, including demonstrating techniques multiple times to help me understand them. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I’d definitely recommend it to others. Also, the momos ended up tasting fantastic!

Making my first mo:mo !
I had an amazing time with Sabita and Rezoo ! The venue is beautiful, a well equipped kitchen on a rooftop, in the middle of Thamel. I was the only one who booked that day so I got to enjoy a private session. Sabita was patient while teaching me everything, and also very nice to have a chat with. We made more than 20 mo:mo and I got to eat so many, it was delicious ! I highly recommend this cooking class, it's a must do in Kathmandu :)
