We visited late afternoon to take a tour of the spice garden. The guide was the cutest old man who gave us a private tour and told us lots about his garden and the spices. We brought lots to take home with us!

Highly recommended! Very friendly people, both the tour of the in-house spice garden and the cooking course were conducted in perfect English. The dishes were delicious and everything was explained in a very entertaining way. We prepared a variety of dishes, and if you've never had garlic curry before - it tastes fantastic. Great atmosphere, everyone had a lot of fun. Photos were taken automatically by the team, we didn't have to worry about it. You can also buy tea and spices there at a very reasonable price. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

We love our cooking class. Theeka was a great host and brought a lot of humour and knowledge. We enjoyed the tour of the gardens and learning more about the spices we'd be using. We took turns in, making dishes and meant everyone got involved in the processes of the dishes made. Afterward, we got to taste our efforts. The food choices for the course meant we got to try some more unusual dishes, all of which were very nice. After the course we were what'sapp the ebook which has smaller portion size instructions go along with the paper book from the class.

After a tour of the herb garden with great explainations to each herb and spice we had a fun and enlightening lesson in Sri Lankan cooking. Easy recipies to follow with fantasic results which we all shared for lunch. Book well in advance as seats are limited and popular

Great host and it was lovely to tour the spice garden. The session was fun and went by quickly. However, I expected it to be more hands on. In fact you only get to do a bit of stirring or putting ingredients into a pan to contribute to dishes for the whole group rather than testing and trying your own individual cooking skills. So I was disappointed in that, but maybe I should have checked the reviews in more detail first and wondered why the price point is good compared to other cooking classes. It was still a good experience though and the host sends an ebook afterwards so it is still good value for money.

Theeka took us on an informative tour of his spice garden. We were treated to an amazing cooking experience and are still talking about to our friends. What we got from the cooking class was recipes we could make at home and have made many times since coming home and an appreciation for Sri Lankan food. Theeka is a great teacher and we had a fun time sharing his food. We highly recommend his cooking class.

If you don‘t book a cooking lession with Theeka and his team - it‘s your own fault! Recommendation: 💯 An all-round successful evening with so many nice and interesting people - in addition to the fantastic spices and dishes, of course. Big thanks ❤️ we felt in love…

We booked an afternoon cookery class with Theeka and his fantastic crew and were not disappointed. It was definitely an interactive experience giving us plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Our host was really good fun with a great knowledge base of not just Sri Lankan but also international cuisine making portion sizes for the ingredients which we were introduced to relevant for the different nationalities participating in the class. After cooking several dishes we were able to enjoy a lovely vegan meal. The textures, tastes and smells of this feast were amazing. Hygiene, Health and Safety compliant which always ticks the box! One of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Theeka 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Theeka hosted a fantastic cooking class for us during the afternoon. Included a tour of the spice garden on site, a cup of tea and then cooking 5-6 traditional Sri Lankan dishes. We finished with enjoying the food we cooked all together - a great afternoon. We were a group of 12 (6 groups of two, couples or friends) all around 30 years old. We were able to book on the day via WhatsApp message, and the location is fantastic relative to Ella Centre (5 mins walk from Cafe Chill) I would definitely recommmed to friends or family wanting a unique, affordable and fun experience in Ella

Amazing and very fun cooking class! We learned so much about Sri Lankan Spices and dishes and enjoyed the class and the dinner! True value for money - we can only recommend this place if you think about taking a cooking class. Especially if you‘re vegetarian/vegan as this is an all-plant based class showing you the amazing variety of Sri Lankan veggie meals. We cooked Dhal/Curry, Rotti and more.
