Great and really delicious meals - It was the best rice curry I had in Sri Lanka!
The cooking class was really great and the cooks super nice.
The food is quality and the quantity was huge only for 2.
I recommend 100% this experience if you are visiting Sigiriya (especially when it rains for example and we can not get out)

Fun personal cooking class - The cooking class was very nice! It was given by 2 sisters, both of whom can speak a word of English. They explained everything well and then let us do it. Sometimes during the things with fire these are the most work, but we were allowed to throw things in, stir and taste😄😄 a nice experience, and then eat nice!

Good - Amazing cooking class! We were four people in total and learned how to cook traditional food from Sri Lanka. Two of us were vegetarian and since only one of many dishes were with meat, it was very suitable for us. The host explained everything about the ingredients and recipes in detail.
