    My dear friend, Faramarz, recommended me this beautiful experience and it was more than worth it! I honestly had THE best time Zareen and Marjan. The mother-daughter cooking class was definitely one of my greatest highlights while being in India. Both of them put so much love in this culinary class and at the same time a lot of knowledge. You’ll learn all the recipes from scratch while receiving superinteresting insights into all the spices and the Afghan-Indian culture!! 11/10 would recommend!! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful experience with me! Heaps of love, Linda xx

    I chose this experience to see a different part of Delhi, experience the spice market and spend time bonding with locals over food-- this experience did not disappoint. Fara and Marjan were friendly and accommodating hosts and their parents were genuine sweet people. Would highly recommend if you're looking for an wholesome experience and cooking knowledge from an "aunty" figure!

    Had a most delightful evening with Marjaan and her family. They collected me from my drop off point and we walked through the local market meeting and greeting people there. Each step of the recipe was explained and I got to help with stirring and frying! I was contacted earlier in the day to ask if I had any allergies or taste preferences which was good. The food was excellent and the family could not have been more hospitable or welcoming even helping me hail a auto to get home again.

    Amazing food and wonderful people! Absolutely an experience I would repeat or gift to others. We were welcomed with Afghan chai and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. As someone that lives in Afghanistan, I can assure the food was 100% genuine and a joy for the soul. We definitively have new friends in Delhi now!
