Chef Mistry was a pleasure to work with from start... read more to finish. Although a relatively small event (a canapé and drinks reception for 80 people in central London), she gave us her full expertise and resources from the moment I contacted her a couple of months before our do. The savoury and sweet canapés and shots as well as the sushi, were delicious, just right for our mixed range of guests. The tastes were so fresh, distinctive and appetising. Chef and her ‘boys’ gave brilliant service on the night, so quietly efficient and polite that we hardly knew they were there. Friends, colleagues and family were full of compliments afterwards, and some of them insisted on coming down to the kitchen to pass on their praise in person. I would definitely use Dakshas again: exceptional value for money, and everything planned perfectly down to the last detail. read less

My partner booked a private cooking lesson with Daksha... read more as a birthday surprise for me . Omg I don't know where to start because it was such an amazing experience. !! First of all Daksha is such a lovely lovely lady , she is so knowledgeable about all types of food and cooking aswell as being a very patient ( I asked lots of questions) Teacher. I chose 4 indian dishes that I wanted to cook . Although Daksha said I could choose any dishes in any type of food that I wanted. But because I love Indian food that's what I chose . She brought every single ingredient that was needed to cook the dishes I chose with her . It was a wonderful experience, I learnt so much from her . When the food was cooked Daksha even served it at the table for me and my partner and a couple of relatives who "just happened " to pop round. I cannot recommend Dakshas Gourmet highly enough. I'd give her 10 stars if I could. 😍😍 read less

Indian Cuisine - Cooking class for 2My husband and I... read more spent 2 hours with Daksha on a Saturday morning. It was very enjoyable experience and we would highly recommend it to couples looking for a new activity to do together. I had originally bought the cooking class with the intention to get my husband more exposure to the delights of Indian food but turns out Daksha can cook various cuisines including Thai, British, French etc. Within the 2 hours, we created a total of SIX dishes. In order to do this, Daksha had spent time prior to the class preparing the ingredients. This was great because it meant we could spend more time on understanding how best to cook the dishes rather than preparing for it. When I had questions about how to cut and prepare certain ingredients, Daksha had willingness to teach and the patience to demonstrate how to cut/chop/slice. Daksha also went the extra mile to provide us with recipes for all of the dishes prior to the class so that we could refer back to it after the class.All in all Daksha is energetic, inspiring and super attentive to detail. Even though we created many dishes, the atmosphere was relaxed and the experience rewarding. The dishes were both tasty and beautiful and we got to take the dishes home with us! read less

I have no hesitation in giving five stars (she deserves many more) and look forward to maybe attending one of her cookery classes hopefully in the near future.
