A great evening

Michael 31 October 2024

We had a wonderful experience partaking in the 'Indian cuisine' cooking class. Anan was a great host and we were all made to feel welcome. The cooking lesson was delivered in a way that was easy to follow and made us all feel comfortable that we could follow the recipes. The facilities were clean and well set out. We had all the equipment we needed to carry out the preparation and cooking of the meals. The drinks provided certainly helped to create a very relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. And, to finish things off, we were able to enjoy a very tasty dinner. I can not recommend this experience highly enough. We would be more than happy to partake in another one of these courses. Thanks again to Anan and the team at Otao. Cheers, Michael and Tatiana

Highly recommended

Debra 17 February 2024

I had a wonderful time learning and cooking some classic Indian dishes. The teacher was warm and welcoming and gave great instructions and support the whole time. Sitting down together at the end was really lovely and the food was so delicious! I'm inspired to make all the dishes again at home. If you are looking to learn some new dishes and love Indian food, do it!

My partner and I had a great time at our Thai Cooking Master Class and learnt lots. We loved the set up, the recipes, all ingredients were supplied. The step by step guidance by the instructor and assistance were really great. The instructors were very helpful and came around to check and advise. The food was delicious and we even received wine/beer! We have cooked it again for our family and they all loved it!
