Drive to our Host House Welcome and start this Cooking Session And Learn About Indian Food. One of the best ways to learn about local cuisine is to make it yourself. You’ll do just that during this cook-and-dine experience in Mumbai. A local foodie will show you how to make authentic Indian cuisine, which may be very different from the Indian food you are used to being served at restaurants. You’ll help prepare some of the dishes yourself, and then enjoy eating the feast afterwards. Food enthusiasts will love this activity, although prior cooking experience isn’t necessary.
