A Wonderful and Authentic Sri Lankan Cooking Experience!
We had a fantastic private cooking class with Susanthi and would highly recommend it, especially for families!
From the very beginning, we felt warmly welcomed. Susanthi organised a car to take us to the local market, where we bought fresh ingredients together and could choose our own vegetables and whether we wanted fish or meat.
Back at the restaurant, we prepared traditional Sri Lankan dishes together. Susanthi was incredibly patient, explained everything clearly and happily answered all our questions. We learned so much about Sri Lankan cooking, the different ingredients and how to use the spices.
What made the experience even more special was how wonderfully our children (3 and 6 years old) were involved in the cooking process. They really got to participate and had a great time!
Susanthi also makes her own spice blends, which we loved so much that we bought some to take home.
A truly authentic, personal and memorable experience. Thank you, Susanthi, for sharing your knowledge and passion with us!

An Unforgettable Family Experience – Highly Recommend for Parents with Kids!

We had an incredible cooking class with Susanthi two days ago with my wife and our two daughters (3 and 6 years old), and it was absolutely perfect.
• The Market Tour: A fantastic, immersive start. Susanthi took us to the local markets to pick fresh vegetables. She was so engaging, explaining the local produce and spices in a way that kept our young daughters excited and interested the whole time.
• The Class & Setting: The open kitchen is beautiful. Susanthi is an excellent, warm, and highly entertaining teacher. She went out of her way to include our little girls, giving them small, safe tasks so they could fully participate. We learned how to make our own spice blends and cook traditional curries using clay pots.
• The Food: Absolutely divine! Susanthi custom-adjusted the spice levels perfectly so our toddlers could enjoy the meal just as much as we did. It was an enormous feast and one of our favorite meals of the trip. The girls couldn't get enough of the dhal curry, and the pumpkin curry was a massive highlight for me.
Susanthi runs a beautiful business with genuine heart. If you are in Unawatuna or Galle, do not miss this!
Thank you for treating our family so wonderfully.

Fantastic Authentic Experience
H2251CHchristopherh, October 2026
We really enjoyed the whole experience. Our host and her family were very friendly and helpful. We started off with a trip to the Galle fish market to chose our own fish for curry dish at lunch then to the local vegetable market to chose which vegetables we wanted for our curries at lunch. The class was held above the restaurant and was a very traditional setting. We were taught which spices to use and how to prepare each dish. We were encouraged to prep the food and add ingredients and spices to traditional clay pots for cooking. We also made our own coconut milk. We then sat down to enjoy the dishes we helped prepare. The flavours were fantastic and there was so much food. A cold beer each from the restaurant was a wonderful addition for lunch. Highly recommend the entire experience.

Fabulous Sri Lankan cooking class
annadM4434FS, October 2026
We had a wonderful cooking session with Sea Waves Sri Lankan cooking class and made 5 delicious curries under the supervision of our wonderful instructor, which we ate when finished.
Before we started we visited the fish and vegetable markets which were interesting in themselves and showed the local culture.
I highly recommend Sea Waves if you are interested in a cooking class in Galle and in the Unawatuna area.
