I hosted a cooking class of 20 with Chef Naveen and his team for the holiday and it was so. much. fun!
We picked Indian cuisine. Chef Naveen was so responsive in the planning process and extremely accommodating of several allergies.
During the class we learned so much about the food, seasoning and knife skills. Chef Naveen had sooo much energy. He kept us entertained and engaged the whole time. Which can be difficult with a crew of 20 + drinks.
The food was delicious. The space was gorgeous and so clean. And his cooking tools were top of the line.
If you are considering a class…just do it!
Naveen's Cuisine cooking class is just a fabulous experience with friends/family! We had a group of 30 adults and kids for a Diwali gathering and EVERYONE was into it and had a blast. It was special to see how much the kids enjoyed their hands on experience of preparing their own food from scratch. Naveen is such a pleasure as he guides you through everything - starting with how to hold the knife and cut the ingredients for each dish. I cannot recommend this experience enough to do it justice!!!
Our group had a blast cooking with Naveen! Venue is amazing, food was delicious, and Naveen is just icing on the cake. We booked a private session for 17 of us and had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the evening. Recipes were easy to follow and the staff made sure you had everything you needed. 5 stars all the way, highly recommend, we will be repeat customers!
We had great time at Naveen’s Kitchen for a team-building activity, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. This wasn’t just about dining, it was about learning, engaging, and truly coming together as a team in a fun, collaborative way.
The evening was curated beautifully. From the moment we arrived, Naveen set the tone by making us feel welcome and comfortable. He has a wonderful way of bringing people together....ensuring we not only worked as a team but also got to know each other on a deeper level while having fun.
We began by settling in and getting acquainted with the space, followed by an interactive session where Naveen showcased his incredible culinary skills. Watching him explain the finer details of cutting vegetables (and the common mistakes most of us make!) was both eye-opening and entertaining.
Next came the hands-on cooking experience. We were introduced to the menu for the evening, walked through each recipe with clear, step-by-step guidance, and then split into groups to tackle the dishes. The setup was perfect for collaboration, we divided the tasks and spent the next couple of hours cooking together. It was amazing to see colleagues step out of their usual work roles and channel their creativity in the kitchen.
The best part, of course, was enjoying the fruits of our labor. Sitting down together to share the dishes we had prepared as a team made the evening feel that much more special. The food turned out delicious, but even more importantly, the journey to get there was filled with laughter, learning, and camaraderie.
Overall, Naveen’s Kitchen offers an experience like no other. It’s not just about cooking; it’s about bonding, collaborating, and creating memories that bring people closer. I would highly recommend this to any team or group looking for a unique way to connect. Naveen’s passion, warmth, and expertise truly made the evening exceptional, and we walked away not just with full hearts and stomachs, but also with stronger connections as a team.
My fiancé and I received a class as a gift and we had a fantastic experience! The food was great, the instructions were clear, and it was lovely to get to know the other participants. Highly recommend.
Our group had such a wonderful experience at Naveen’s cuisine cooking class! Naveen was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the class feel relaxed and enjoyable from the start. The food we prepared was absolutely exceptional—flavorful, beautifully presented, and full of techniques I can’t wait to try at home. The space itself was just as impressive: warm, inviting, and thoughtfully set up to make everyone comfortable. Overall, it was the perfect combination of learning, fun, and amazing food. I would highly recommend Naveen’s class to anyone looking for a memorable cooking experience!
Excellent place..! The whole staff, and especially Naveen is so inviting, so cordial..
Had a great time over there in a family get together !
We had an absolutely outstanding experience at Naveen’s Cuisine cooking class! The venue was beautiful—modern, spacious, and perfect for a group gathering. The recipes / food were delicious, and what truly made the evening was Naveen himself.
He’s a gracious host, so personable and great at teaching. He made the planning process so easy and seamless…and then the day of the event we just showed up, didn’t have any hosting responsibilities, and were able to enjoy ourselves :)
The class was fun, relaxed, and pressure-free—such a great way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. All of our friends had a fantastic time and felt it was a truly unique experience. Couldn’t recommend it more!
Thank you Naveen and staff!
My organization's board of directors held a private event with Naveen and had a fantastic time. The group of about 20 was a wide mix of culinary experience - from those who do not cook at all to those who are very accomplished - and everyone seemed to have fun. Naveen himself is great - funny and charming while also providing practical tips and knife skills. He accommodated various dietary restrictions and the food we made was delicious!
We had such a great experience at Naveen’s Cuisine for a private Thai cooking class with our group of friends! The space itself is beautiful and well-appointed, and Naveen was so welcoming from the moment we arrived. We had time at the beginning to sip our drinks, mingle, and settle in before diving into an in-depth demo, where Naveen showed off his impeccable knife skills and shared helpful tips we could bring back to our own kitchens.
After the demo, we split into groups to prepare different parts of the meal, which I really liked. While it meant we didn’t each get hands-on time with every course, the meal came together more efficiently—and we all got to sit down and enjoy everything together.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire experience was such a fun, interactive night. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique group activity or celebration!

Naveen is incredible at hosting memorable cooking parties! I’m lucky to have visited his space with both work colleagues & friends on multiple occasions and it’s the best time. I highly recommend booking an event with him!
Naveen is so kind and knowledgeable about cooking! I had so much fun during his class!!!
We love Naveen! The cooking class was so fun, creative, and tasty.
Our family got together to learn how to cook Indian food with Naveen in his kitchen yesterday and had The Best time! The kitchen is incredibly beautiful and is actually two full kitchens with enough space to comfortably host up to 40. Ample counter space for working and eating, 6 or 7 large cooktops, 2 separate ovens and refrigerators, a beautiful outdoor area to hang out in with a large grill. Naveen is a warm and wonderful host and teacher. And the food we made was delicious! Highly recommend for friends, family and/or work team building events!
We loved our time at Naveen’s Cuisine. Naveen is not only an excellent chef but also a thoughtful host—he learned all 13 of our names and made the evening feel truly personal. The food we prepared was delicious, and the space was beautiful, with plenty of room for our own decorations and music. A perfect setting for a memorable gathering with family, friends, or colleagues. Highly recommend!
