I bought a chicken (Farm Chicken), they only dishes white meat not even a drumstick or a thigh, but vertebrae part also. I lost my money big time. They must be very considerate when selecting piece please.

We did the evening cooking class with Caleb and Florence (and their delightful assistants) and had so much fun while learning a lot about the history and fundamentals of African cooking. Our hosts were knowledgeable and incredibly kind and patient. This was a highlight of our week in Cape Town. The flavors of these authentic recipes, along with the fun of doing some of the cooking, was a great experience. Leftovers may have been even better. Absolutely a "must do" experience if you can.

Gracious hosts greeted each guest by name, explained the origins of each ingredient and dish, involved our friends in cooking and presenting 5 different traditional dishes, and shared stories, pride, and customs openly and with joy.

I attended a cooking class at Pahari which was unforgettable! We were taught all about the different foods and where they originated from. We got to make dishes while drinking beers and practising everything we'd been taught. At the end, we were able to sit and eat together all that we'd made.

The hosts were super friendly and smiling the whole way through! I could not recommend this restaurant enough whether it be for a meal or for a truly incredible cooking experience!
