Ranjana is nothing short of fantastic. My friends and I are three high school seniors completing a…read morecapstone project on cultural enclaves in Chicago, and we stumbled upon Ranjana's Indian Cooking Classes -- having visited Little India and being devoted eaters of Indian food, we were naturally interested and emailed Ranjana to set up a date. First, after hearing that we were students, Ranjana very kindly offered a student discount on an already well-priced class, which was incredibly sweet of her. We chose a North Indian menu, and we were delighted by how many delicious options there were for such a low price: we got to make masala chai, imli and coriander chutneys, samosas, roti, paratha, papad, pepper jalfarezi, eggplant curry, pulav, paneer, tofu curry, and kaju katli (a tasty cashew dessert that I will be trying to make at home!). The experience was intimate, as it was hosted in Ranjana's home, and we really enjoyed getting to learn about the history of her neighborhood, about her family (seriously, a family of changemakers and geniuses), and especially about the significance behind and cultural context of the ingredients we were using and the dishes we were eating. She is patient, funny, and not scared of hot things! Her house is full of art, music, and culture. It is clear she cares deeply about what she does, be it her advocacy as LGBTQ+ ally and former executive director of Asian domestic violence shelter Apna Ghar, or teaching this wonderful class and engaging with her students. And the food... the BEST samosas I have ever had, no joke. I've never had something so flavorful and crisp and just the right bit of greasy from a restaurant. And the roti with the pulav and an array of vegetables with a nice cold glass of water was just fantastic. As my friend said, you might not think, as a meat-eater, that you can have a full and truly nourishing meal without meat. But Ranjana's classes will dispel your beliefs: I left her house stuffed, warm, and smelling like the all the aromatic spices of her kitchen. Such a wonderful experience and educational where you wouldn't expect it. I cannot recommend this enough! - Daniel, Alexa, Lia

I have never taken a cooking class before so I didn't know what to expect, but this was amazing!…read moreRanjana and her husband welcomed us into their home. They were both so inviting and kind. Before arriving, we had picked out the recipes we wanted to cook. Ranjana then prints out those recipes so we can take notes as we go and can take the recipes home. Since Covid, she is only offering private classes (instead of big group classes) so it was just the two of us for the cooking class. We made SO much food and it all came out amazing. Every dish we made was vegetarian, too! We had mango lassi, daal, saag paneer, samosas, halwa and more. I left feeling so full! Ranjana went above and beyond to teach us cooking tips and teach us about the ingredients we were using. We also learned about all the amazing work she has done throughout Chicago and some history of their neighborhood. Their house is easy to get to and has parking right out front. They can give you a parking permit for your car. If you enjoy the class and want to be able to recreate dishes at home, Ranjana sells a spice kit you can purchase. I highly recommend taking this class!

They have a large amount of ceramics to choose from, and it was very peaceful and quiet. There was also a child's birthday party going on, but they weren't running around crazy loud, they were actually pretty quiet eating and opening presents. We can't wait to go back to get our painted pieces. I would definitely recommend choosing this place, we can't wait to go back. The prices were reasonable and Friday's are $4 instead of $8. The owners were really nice, we came a bit late and they close at 9:00 pm, they didn't rush us at all. When we were done I started cleaning up, they told us to just leave it that they would clean it up so we could finish enjoying our night.

We had a rather unique situation with our wedding in that we had 2 of them on the same day - all at different locations. Flowers and floral arrangements can get rather expensive for weddings with unique styles and tastes but Shobha is very reasonable with her quotes. We could not say enough good things about how gorgeous everything was, at both ceremonies she decorated. She's also an incredibly calm person to work with. She listened to everything my fiance (now wife!) had in mind, taking notes and making suggestions where needed. Our wedding and specially reception was so incredibly well done, I would, without hesitation, recommend Shobha's services to anyone looking for a florist. She delivered what she promised, perhaps more! Everyone at our reception were going gaga over the floral arrangements and we couldn't be happier.

I've taken a couple of classes here, some before the pandemic and one since (as well as a class at…read moreher Berwyn location as the day worked better). When I had trouble figuring out her website, the owner worked with me, and when I took a class wanting to do something very specific (make a traditional wired-brim hat that duplicated the look of one from a film), she helped me with that too even though it was slightly different from what the class was about (making an artistic felt hat). This is the only place in the suburbs that I know of which does any kind of millinery classes (felt hats from wool roving), and I'm grateful it's available. The owner's primary focus is the fabric arts (felting; weaving; dyeing) but also offer some bead and jewelry classes; the class I just took was a jewelry-making class in silver, copper, brass and even bronze taught by another artist. We all walked out with a generous handful of pieces we'd made and it was a lot of fun. I feel lucky to have access to such a variety of classes without having to drive in to Chicago, and the Berwyn studio is also fairly convenient. You might be taking a class all by yourself or with some other people; she has huge quantities of supplies, is patient guiding students, and you'll leave with something cool you made yourself. (She also sells tools and some of her / others' art. Some open studio available.) Limited parking in the back; some street parking. Studio might be a bit cold in the winter; consider a sweater or hoodie.
