- Siena RLondon, United Kingdom1 contributionA must-do in Goa. Brilliant cooking class with wonderful teacher!If you are in or near Palolem, this is a must do! Rahul is brilliant! A wonderful teacher, with great humour. He made everyone feel included, and all the dishes felt achievable to make. A fantastic class where we learnt to make 4 different dishes plus chapatis. Could not recommend enough. Thank you Rahul. XVisited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 March 2024
- Jackie G16 contributionsExcellent, informative and fun cookery class.Great evening, very well organised, and learned loads while having a lot of fun. Three hours really well spent and great value for money. The kitchen was spotlessly clean with plenty of space for the 6 people in our class. Fantastic food, including the best butter chicken ever, and fabulous palek paneer and tarka dhal. A great use of one evening on holiday, and we'd highly recommend it.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 April 2024
- Roam463115913571 contributionExcellentRahul was so friendly and welcoming, he gave us very detailed instructions and paid close attention to everything we were doing. The food was amazing and so yummy. We were given plenty of time including for a break to sit down, and we did not feel rushed at all. My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves and we would definitely recommend!Visited September 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 3 September 2024
- Joseph G1 contributionTop marks for Rahul!Rahul's Cookery Class was absolutely brilliant and we thoroughly enjoyed his lesson. Rahul was warm, attentive and engaging and made us feel welcome in his kitchen and made us feel at home. The dishes he taught us were delicious, and were clearly honed through his years of experience leading a kitchen. We can't recommend Rahul's class enough, and urge any travellers to Goa to roll up their sleeves and have a go!Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 September 2024
- Rerry5162738416 contributionsDelicious Indian cuisine - a must-do activity!Rahul's cookery class is a must-do activity! Rahul is really nice and made us feel very welcome. He is also an excellent chef and teacher! Rahul speaks very calmly and his presence really made the experience very enjoyable. Rahul's family were also outside the class whilst we were there, we felt very comfortable with them. The kitchen is a great setting, the facilities are excellent. The class itself is really good, Rahul guides every step of the way and the resulting food is delicious. We will be trying to emulate the same recipes at home! Rahul also provides the recipes at the end of the class via whatsapp. The class was a highlight of our trip.Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 September 2024
- Rob E4 contributionsThis is the best food I've had in PalolemI'm blown away by the quality of this experience. Rahul is an excellent teacher, and a very friendly and welcoming host. I'm a chef of seven years, and I came away having learned so much. Cannot reccomend this enough, the food we made is better than the restaurants we've visited, and the price is very reasonable for a three hour cooking courseVisited October 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 1 October 2024
- Therese A3 contributionsGreat activity for friends and even greater foodThis was just a perfect night. Learning to cook Indian food. It’s easy to follow recipes. The taste is unreal and you just gotta love it. Ambience is good and we enjoyed some wine during class. Both Rahul and Sonia are so welcoming and wonderful teachers. I have made these dishes after coming home. Everyone loves it. Next time I go to Goa I will take another class with them. I have recommended to all my friends. Unfortunately some other guy trying to copy Rahul’s classes, pls do not join him. Rahul’s classes is genuine and he is the best.Visited September 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 4 October 2024
- Laura W21 contributionsCooking with RahulWell worth the time and money. We made five dishes with fresh ingredients and then got to eat them! Rahul explains every step and how and when to add your spices and how to vary according to your tastes. Extremely clean and organized.Visited October 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 7 October 2024
- Tourist199833517901 contributionThe BEST cooking class in Goa.I had an amazing time learning to cook authentic Indian dishes with Sonia. You're involved in every single step from start to finish and pick up so much knowledge along the way. I recommend Rahul's cooking class for anyone! It's so fun and easy! You can also buy their homemade garam masala! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!Visited October 2024Travelled soloWritten 16 October 2024

Review for Rahul’s Cookery Class, Palolem, Goa
Last night, we had the most amazing experience at Rahul’s Cookery Class in Palolem, Goa. From 6-9 pm, we had the pleasure of cooking under the expert guidance of Chef Rahul, and it was truly unforgettable.
The kitchen was spotless and well-organized, with a fantastic array of fresh herbs and spices laid out for us to create five delicious dishes:
• Palak Paneer
• Mushroom Masala
• Dhal Fry
• The BEST Butter Chicken
• Chapatti
Chef Rahul’s instructions were clear, patient, and engaging, making it easy to follow along no matter your skill level. The entire group had such a lovely evening—not only did we enjoy the amazing dishes we prepared, but we also bonded over shared meals and swapped fascinating stories about our Indian adventures.
We were provided with a PDF containing recipes to take home, ensuring we can recreate the magic in our own kitchens.
I would 100% recommend Rahul’s Cookery Class to anyone visiting Goa. Whether you’re a foodie, a cooking enthusiast, or just looking for a unique evening experience, this is an opportunity not to be missed!

We signed up for one cooking class and after fist meeting we decided to attend on another 3 sessions. Rahul and Sonia are great chefs couple. Rahul teached us how to cook full of flavour both North Indian and Goan dishes.
We appreciated time spent with Rahul cooking together and really recommend this place if you have spare few hours during your stay in Canacona area.
Thank you, greetings from Poland,

The best cooking class I have done in India. Rahul is very knowledgeable and informative, and the mass amount of food we produced was incredible for the price. He was kind enough to package up the food I was unable to finish and also sent me away with the online recipie book for not just the 5 courses we made during the course but for 60+ other recipes. Amazing!!!

This cooking class was amazing, we are so happy we did it. We saw it advertised on a poster in Palolem and decided to do it on a whim, it was 3 hours long and excellent value for money. Me and my partner feel we have learnt skills for life, we got to enjoy all the food at the end and all of the recipes (plus extras) were sent to us by Rahul. The kitchen setup is modern with fresh ingredients laid out. Rahul is a great chef and teacher, we couldn’t rate this experience higher.

Had a great time learning to cook a mixture of veg & non-veg dishes from dal tadka to butter chicken masala - I was the only one who showed but it still went ahead which I really appreciated. Rahul, his wife and team are all super friendly! Would recommend for anyone with an interest in beginning to learn how to cook authentic Indian food :) and the food tasted great at the end too!

This is a top notch cookery class, the kitchen is very well ventilated so doesn’t become uncomfortably hot. Rahul speaks very good English and is a master at his craft. We learned so much about timing when to add the ingredients and how hot the pan needs to be before you start cooking. He uses easily obtainable ingredients so we are so looking forward to trying our new found skills.

We wanted to do a cookery class in our visit to India and originally planned to do one in Mumbai. Rahul’s cookery class is a little gem, a secret in Palolem.
You’re not sure exactly what to expect as you turn up, but immediately you’re put at ease when you meet the man himself. Very warm, funny and tailors what he does for the guests in the room. We were a family of 4 and joined a group with 2 others. Was great fun to cook the same dishes at the same time and then also allow the kids to do something easier whilst the more experienced guests could play with their cookery skills.
Super knowledgeable and wished I recorded the talk about spices and how flavours come together, he gives you the details, but how he spoke was brilliant. Tasting them individually and how they combine with differences depending on where in India you come from.
We cooked 5 dishes in total and made chapati which was great fun. Washing it down with a beer after the class was a memorable experience as you get to share stories whilst eating the AMAZING food you just cooked. If we were in the area longer we’d likely do a few more classes as there were many different things available to cook.
We received the recipes the next day and already tried one out. I guarantee this will improve your curries and when entertaining, gives you a story to tell your friends.
Highly recommended.

We had been searching for a cooking class in Goa for a while and came across Rahul’s and what an amazing experience it turned out to be. Rahul took the time to explain the spice combination of India cuisine, created a great menu for us to enjoy making and eating afterwards. What really stood out for us was how accommodating Rahul was. Sadly one of our party did not like Mushrooms of which we were suppose to make a mushroom masala. Rahul immediately asked what our favourite dish was and we proceeded to make just that (Panner Butter Masala) in addition to the set menu for the day.
This is an absolute must do when visiting Palolem Goa and gets 5 stars from us.

Have been wanting to do a cookery course for years since I started visiting India years ago and I’m so glad I choose Rahul’s to do it.
It was an incredible immersive experience and we were showed step by step how to create 5 wonderful dishes full of flavour’s that even myself who’s not the best cook has the confidence to take back to the uk to recreate.
The kitchen was clean and expertly set up with everything provided for a fun 3 hour experience would recommend anyone in the Palolem area to try this wonderful culinary delight.
Don’t book with anyone else as these guys have honestly been the best and there experience shows, the place is clearly signposted but any issues please call Rahul as they are so kind and helpful.
Can’t wait to try my new knowledge back in the Uk

We booked Rahuls cooking class when we already spent a couple of weeks in India and had lots of local food. What can I say, this lesson really made us understand what Indian cuisine is all about and made us want to try so much more! The facilities and kitchen are really well-equipped and clean, preparation of ingredients is super professional and Rahul can explain all necessary steps while cooking the dishes together with the participants. One of the best experience you can have in Palolem.

Do they do one on one classes, or only groups?
Written 16 March 2019
Minimum of 2 people for class to be viable but a small group would be ideal.
