Enjoy a private and authentic home cooked meal, cooking class (and market tour if you choose it) in a local home with your host Naina. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Meet your host Naina at her large and beautifully designed home and kitchen in Decatur, located 20 minutes from mid-town Atlanta. Join her in her kitchen, a wide open contemporary space and sip on a refreshing drink and snack as you learn to cook an Indian inspired seasonal meal. Naina is a culinary entrepreneur and teaching people how to cook brings Naina the utmost joy! Her passion for food, cooking and spices has taken her on a mission to demystify the cuisine of India, Persia and the Near East. A warm and fun host, Naina is excited to help guests experience the joy in making and enjoying chaat (Indian street food) as well as Indian-inspired Southern dishes. During this fun and interactive experience, you will get hands-on training from a local chef.

What to expect

In this hands-on Indian cooking class in Atlanta, learn to make 2-3 dishes, such as chaat (a vibrant Indian street food), an Indian-inspired Southern main, and dessert. Naina, a passionate cook, will guide you in cooking intuitively, using your senses to develop flavors. The 2-hour experience includes creating dishes from scratch, and after cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy the meal with Naina. Wine or beer is included, and when available, her husband Cyrus, a beer enthusiast, and their two children join in.

For an added experience, choose a market tour option with Naina at either Your Dekalb Farmer’s Market or Cherian’s, an authentic Indian grocery. Your market tour lasts about an hour. Naina will give you an insight into Indian spices, produce, and grains, and drive you 10-min to her home in Decatur, an Atlanta suburb, to begin your cooking class.

After your culinary adventure, we recommend taking a stroll through one of Atlanta's top attractions, like the World of Coca-Cola or the beautiful Botanical Garden.
