Choose from Three Cooking Class Shifts
We offer three convenient cooking class shifts every day:
- Morning Shift: 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
- Afternoon Shift: 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM
- Evening Shift: 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM
Our friendly chef will guide you step by step through the entire cooking process, making the experience easy, interactive, and enjoyable—even if you have little or no cooking experience.
During the class, you’ll prepare one dish at a time and enjoy it as soon as it’s ready, so everything you eat is fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Best of all, because you’re cooking your own food, you can adjust each dish to suit your taste. Love chili? Add more! Prefer mild food? Simply use less—or leave it out completely.
We offer three different menus, each featuring four traditional Nepali dishes, giving you plenty of variety to choose from. And because we know how much our guests love momos, every menu includes them—so no one misses out on Nepal’s favorite dumplings!
Come hungry—you’ll be cooking and eating plenty of delicious food!
Mobile or paper ticket accepted. One per booking.

Great Experience
ritadU3488UE, October 2026
★★★★★ Loved it! Just finished this cooking class and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, and I learned a lot about Nepali spices: how to use them and why they matter in each dish. Friendly, hands-on, and great value. A must-do in Kathmandu!
