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!
