Truly Authentic Sri Lankan food - In my many trips to Sri Lanka, this was a stand out activity and certainly the highlight of this trip. Madhu runs a very well organised, hands on cooking class which resulted in the very best Sri Lankan food, reminiscent of my grandmothers food. I also loved that it was done in the kitchen of a local Sri Lankan home. The authenticity of the food is what impressed me the most. So much better than the so called "rice and curry" on the menus of the touristy restaurants. If you love cooking, this is a must do activity.

Amazing class with the best rice and curry - Amazing!! Best food and best rice and curry in Sri Lanka!! Really fun and interesting if you want to learn how to cook typical Sri Lankan food! Strongly suggested to everyone

Amazing - The experience was just amazing as much as the food! Moreover Madhu (our chef) was very nice and available, answering every our questions:)

Amazing experience - Madhu was an amazing host. Amazing experience making delicious food! From showing us the vegetable market to actually cooking the curries, we really enjoyed our cooking class.

From Market to Table: A Beautiful Home Cooking Experience in Galle - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – An unforgettable, authentic Sri Lankan cooking experience We had a wonderful experience with Galle Unawatuna Cooking Class in Galle, led by Madhu. From start to finish, everything was thoughtful and personal. Before cooking, Madhu took us to the local fish market where we bought fresh tuna, followed by a visit to the vegetable market to select seasonal produce. It felt immersive and genuinely local. The class itself took place in Madhu’s family home, where we cooked together with her and her mum. The kitchen was very clean, organised, and welcoming. Madhu makes all her own spices at home, which added an extra layer of authenticity and depth to the flavours—we learned so much about Sri Lankan ingredients and techniques. A special highlight: Madhu even prepared a birthday cake for my friend, which was incredibly kind and unexpected. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off afterward, making the whole experience easy and stress-free. And of course, the best part—we got to sit down and enjoy the meal we cooked, which was absolutely delicious. Warm, generous, authentic, and memorable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Galle and wanting a true local experience.

Perfect - Best cooking class ever! Very tasty dishes, great explanation. Best Price in Sri Lanka. Great hospitality!!! 100%recommended! Love, Melanie

Cooking with Madhu - Cooking with Madhu was a fun and tasty experience. We started off with a visit to the local vegetable market, then cooked about eight dishes effortlessly and enjoyed eating the home cooked meal!

Great local experience - I booked the class super spontaneous and was so happy with it! The visit at the local market was super nice and we cooked a lot of different curries, everything was super good! Plenty vegetarian options as well :)

Cook the best traditional Sri Lankan food with Madhu - Madhu and her family are very welcoming and showed us so much hospitality. Madhu has a lot of experience in cooking and food. She explained all the dishes we cooked very detailed. Her outside-kitchen is amazing and everything is very clean. The food was by far the best i had in Sri Lanka. Thank you Madhu❤️🙏🏽

Great experience with the best curry! - It was an amazing experience! I enjoyed learning about veggies and spices, also traditional cooking equipments. Also as a solo traveler, it was great to meet people! We had fun chatting and prepping curry together. The final result turned to be really good! I had been in Sri Lanka for three weeks at that time and had curry many times, and it was the best Sri Lankan curry I'd had. It's of course thanks to the instructor's skills, including making great taste for low spicy levels. For one of the curry we cooked, she mentioned that we were adding 1/3 of chili compared to their standard, and adding a different spice instead to complement the flaver. (If the entire group prefers high spicy level, she would make it that way!) The experience was awesome from the start to the end, highly recommend!
