Bandu was absolutely friendly, warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. His home is spacious, well kept, neat and tidy with modern furniture and house plants. There's a stunning view from the living room. You could see the green marshlands and the Colombo skyline. Our favourite part of the experience was tasting the mushroom and tomato dish he prepared. It was absolutely delicious, with salty, and caramelized flavours, both in one. We also loved learning how to cook Sri Lankan chicken curry with him. Together, we feasted on rice and curry and watalappan (a custard-like, Sri Lankan dessert which he prepared the night before for us).

One of the best home cook food experience we had in all our tours around the world. Both Nanditha & Upal, her husband, are wonderful hosts and to add finger licking food. Must try for anyone interested in Eating Crabs! Highly recommend!!

A unique opportunity to meet & cook with an amazing woman. Her life story is inspiring & she warmly welcomes you into her home. We learnt so much about the food and how to cook amazing Sri Lanken/ Malay dishes. A wonderful experience & the number of dishes we cooked and ate was phenomenal. We can away with recipes, knowledge, spices & look forward to continuing to cook & eat her recipes at home.
