Review Body: Did this as a team building experience and it was perfect! We started the evening with welcome drinks and learning how to make Chicken Tikka, BBQ Paneer, Lamb and Corn ribs.
Dhruv went to culinary school and really knows his stuff - from where to get the best spices (Kerala!) to the stories behind different types of Indian dishes. To me that was one of the highlights of the experience - learning the stories and hearing about Dhruv's personal journey.
After cooking we had drinks on the penthouse rooftop (GORGEOUS) and feasted! There was soo much food and every dish was yummy. The flavours were really fresh, the meats were incredibly succulent and it was honestly some of the best Indian food I've had in SG. The whole experience was really unique, and dining in the rooftop penthouse felt really special - like we were travelling abroad.
Top tips:
1. You can BYOB your own drinks (we'd recommend it).
2. It's very beginner-friendly - each person gets to chop/mix stuff, but it's not a full-on cooking class, more like a taster. You'll get the recipes after and they're very accessible and yummy so beginners can make the dishes too!
3. The penthouse is seriously beautiful. The views are gorgeous and the rooftop is the perfect spot to enjoy a yummy meal!
4. There are lots of veggie options so Vegetarians won't go hungry! There's also a lot of food and we ended up with yummy leftovers to take home.

Review Body: We had an incredible time at this cooking experience! Dhruv was an exceptional host, combining his impressive culinary knowledge with a relaxed and fun teaching style. The setting was perfect, with a beautiful outdoor space and a stunning view, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Whether you’re an experienced cook or just starting out, Dhruv ensured that we all felt comfortable and engaged throughout. We learned to prepare a variety of delicious dishes (and drinks), all while sharing laughs and great conversation.
It wasn’t just about the cooking; it was about the entire experience, and Dhruv made it truly memorable. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve their cooking skills or simply enjoy a delightful, laid-back afternoon/date/experience.

Review Body: I booked this as a surprise birthday experience for my friend and what a night it turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, Dhruv went above and beyond to make it special. He even helped me pull off a scare prank to kick things off, which set the tone for an evening full of laughs and good vibes.
The food was genuinely delicious (those lamb chops were chef’s kiss), and the view from the space was stunning. But what really stood out were the conversations — Dhruv shared such interesting stories that added a personal and memorable touch to the whole experience.
To top it all off, he surprised my friend with a birthday cake to end the night. Truly thoughtful and unexpected. Highly recommend this “boring” BBQ party, it was anything but boring!

Review Body: The gift that keeps giving. I 'gifted' this experience for my husband who knows way too much about BBQ'ing, but was taught a thing or ten during this workshop with Druv. Aside to the fun, the views and of course the food, I now get to enjoy the new skills and tastes my hubby has been able to recreate at home almost weekly since we did the course. Better than a meal out for his birthday. I was too busy sipping cocktails to do much cooking so we will return for the bread making course in the near future. I highly recommend this as a great date activity, a birthday gift or just upskilling your cooking game!

Review Body: We just finished an amazing evening with Dhruv. The 8 of us decided to do this for our team building day and we were not disappointed. All of us enjoyed pitching in to help make the food, learn a bit about the secrets behind Indian cooking and had the most delicious meal! The food is SOOOO GOOOD! The ingredients are super fresh and it blows most restaurants out of the water. And the VIEW is fab!! The location is a pent house with the most amazing terrace overlooking the port. AND Dhruv is an amazing host! He will have you laughing and chatting. Highly, highly recommend!!

Review Body: The entire experience was perfectly curated! Dhruv is an amazing Chef & host. He was able to strike a perfect balance of getting you involved in the cooking process and allowing you to just enjoy the wonderful food. From the setting (beautifully decorated space with a gorgeous view & breeze), to the high quality meats and ingredients used, it was obvious a lot of care and effort have been made. We could not recommend this experience enough! Will definitely be back. Thank you Dhruv! You are a master of your craft.

Review Body: Just back from our BBQ feast and wow what a fantastic evening! The food, the view, the company! Dhruv was the most amazing host and we are both full to bursting. We learnt lots of techniques and tricks that we are hoping to try out again in our own kitchen. If you are on the fence about whether to do this experience or not - just do it! Your tummy will thank you for it!

Review Body: This is one of the best experiences i’ve ever been on — ever (And I’ve been on MANY!) The host, Dhruv, is amazing at hosting and creating a good experience. I love cooking and I cook a lot, but I totally have no knowledge about Indian food, so I really learnt a new cuisine from the best! 11/10 experience — pacing is great and host entertainment top-tier.

Review Body: This BBQ was anything but boring. Make sure you come hungry because you're going to want to inhale everything you cook here. Some of the best indian food i've had and to top it off, Dhruv was a really funny host. Make sure you get him to show off his mad onion slicing skills.

The menu features locally sourced ingredients and puts an emphasis big hearty flavours. You will learn how to make Tandoori Masala from scratch, use it in various marinades and cook your food to perfection on a home grill.🔥 GREATEST HITS 🔥1) Chicken Tikka 2 Ways - Classic & Malai2) Tandoori Pomfret3) Punjabi Paneer Tikka4) Spiced Sliced Gobhi (Cauliflower)5) Makka Bhutta (Corn)6) Meetha (something sweet)On the side:1) Mint & Coriander chutney2) Mad Onion Salad🔎 IMPORTANT INFO 🔎• The menu may change due to availability of ingredients.• Dhruv practices a BYOB policy with no corkage.

Meet your host
My name is Dhruv, I'm a former professional chef and am dead serious about having fun in the kitchen. Cooking is all about experimentation and simply having a good time. I’ve been cooking since I was 8 and continue to learn something new in the kitchen every single day. I've cooked in several countries around the world—Jordan, Tanzania, North Korea—and believe that food is the greatest unifier there is.
I started my career as a chef in the hotel industry, but life had other plans and I somehow found myself working in tech. My love for food prevailed and today, I juggle a corporate career alongside multiple Food and Beverage projects. Probably, my favourite Food and Beverage projects are my cooking classes. They are a combination of private dining and learning, and have a singular focus on customer delight.
I've been writing a light-hearted food blog for 15+ years now and teach people how to produce Indian food that’s simple to cook and absolutely delicious. Everyone who’s tried my recipes has survived to tell the tale!
I also care a lot about the environment and try to minimise the use of plastic on all my experiences. All the vegetable waste from our kitchen and cooking classes is composted and used to nourish our garden. We're passionate about animals and live with two rescue dogs adopted from shelters in Singapore.
