My wife and I attended Chef Rakhi's Italian cooking class tonight, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and welcoming, and Chef Rakhi did an amazing job teaching while keeping everyone engaged. Every dish we made was delicious—the Caesar salad, garlic bread, homemade fettuccine with Bolognese sauce, and the vanilla bean panna cotta were all incredible. What made the experience special was how hands-on it was. We didn't just watch; we learned techniques, prepared everything ourselves, and left feeling confident we could recreate the recipes at home. If you're looking for a unique date night, a fun evening with friends, or simply love great food, I highly recommend Chef Rakhi's cooking classes. We had an amazing time, made great memories, and can't wait to take another class!

We had a fun experience with Chef Rakhi! She was fun and funny, she gave great teaching tips throughout and let us enjoy the process while actually learning. My only negative - not against chef rakhi was that we did have the surprise that it was in her personal home due to our booking with class pop that didn’t disclose this.

Chef Rakhi is an exceptional host. She has so much knowledge about each dish and handles her time with her guests with so much care. We LOVED our meal and we were all a part of preparing it, which made it all the more enjoyable.

Chef Rakhi hosted us for my husband's birthday, as cooking Indian food has been on our list for quite a while. Rakhi was welcoming, fun to talk with, and very knowledgeable. She effectively guided our cooking and shared recipes so we can try it on our own! I would definitely go back to Chef Rakhi for another session or for a team-builder!

Just finished a fantastic cooking class and dinner with my family! Rakhi was so welcoming and we loved learning about different Indian dishes and spices. Plenty to eat and It’s BYO drinks -which we didn’t mind since we got to enjoy our favorites with a marvelous meal. Highly recommend for a fun evening with family, friends or as a couple where you can meet new people!
