When you arrive, you’re welcomed with a sparkling mocktail that sets a festive tone right away. The chef then steps in to explain the plan for the day. You’ll start by tasting three signature marinades , Malai, Classic, and Hariyali , each with its own unique flavor punch. It’s fun to compare them side by side, and I found myself already imagining which one I’d want to slather on my skewers later. The chef encourages questions, so it feels more like a friendly chat than a formal lesson. This is where the real learning begins. You get to understand how each marinade balances spices, creaminess, and herbs, which is a game changer for anyone wanting to elevate their home grilling game. If you’re curious about flavor profiles, this part alone is worth it.

Next, we move into the kitchen area where it’s all hands on deck. You get aprons, hair nets, and gloves , all the essentials to keep things neat while you dive into marinating chicken, paneer, mushrooms, and vegetables. The chef guides you through each step with tips on how much marinade to use and how to skewer things just right so everything cooks evenly. I once had an experience where I over-marinated chicken at home and ended up with soggy meat, but here, the chef’s guidance makes all the difference. Plus, working alongside fellow food lovers adds a fun vibe , everyone’s chatting, sharing ideas, and joking about who’s got the best skewering skills. It’s beginner-friendly, so don’t worry if you’ve never grilled before. The hands-on nature of this Barbecue & Grilling Workshop makes learning easy and enjoyable.

Now comes the part I was most excited about , grilling on a traditional clay barbecue. It’s not just any grill; this thing gives the food a smoky, charred flavor that’s hard to replicate at home. With the chef sharing tips on heat control, timing, and how to get that perfect char without burning, you get to grill your own skewers right there. The flames, the smoke, and the sizzling sound make for a sensory experience that feels almost magical. Plus, there’s a great sense of accomplishment when you turn raw ingredients into something delicious right before your eyes. It reminds me of a time when I tried grilling at home and struggled to get the timing right. Here, having the chef’s expert advice makes it so much easier and actually fun! Don’t forget to book your spot on the Barbecue & Grilling Workshop to experience this yourself.

After grilling, it’s time to taste everything! Sitting down together with the group, you savor your skewers alongside some curated barbecue items. The chef shares feedback on flavor, texture, and technique , little tips that you can take home to impress your friends next barbecue. And speaking of taking things home, each participant gets a thoughtful hamper packed with recipe cards, a tote bag, and some vouchers. It’s a nice way to remember the day and keep the barbecue spirit alive. The whole atmosphere is warm and welcoming , you leave not just with new skills but with new friends and great memories.
