Bolly Bears Indian Cooking Classes

Rated 5.0 I love Bolly Bears! My hubby and I took an Indian cooking class there a couple years ago, and we still make it all the time! However, that doesn't stop us from eating there while we're at Findlay Market! The only thing that would make me happier is actual naan instead of pita.

Rated 5.0 I had a lot of fun at chef Erin's cooking class. We learned how to make three different Indian dishes during her hour and a half class. I feel pretty comfortable making Indian food after this class! This is a great date night idea!

Rated 4.0 I went to a Indian cooking class with a friend at Bolly Bears. I was a bit skeptical at first of the sparse space, lack of visible stoves, and general disorder. But our instructor got everything together and the class was really great! It was educational, interactive and most importantly, delicious. Instead of a stovetop, the teacher cooked in a large electric skillet. She involved the students in turn asking for volunteers to chop ingredients, add and stir or serve the goods. She explained, and quizzed us, on the variety of spices that go into the curry and gave helpful hints along the way. We ended up with 3 types of curry made from one recipe and took home a generous serving. I'd definitely go back and try the Thai or sushi classes.

Rated 5.0 We got a sweet living social deal for an Indian food cooking class at Bolly Bears and it was an awesome experience. First, chef Erin is VERY patient when scheduling- I think I booked, canceled, and rebooked 4 times before a date finally worked out. Erin and Dan always return calls and work to get you in a class that fits your schedule :) Second, chef Heather exceeded my expectations for our class last Friday! She sprinkles in these awesome tidbits and facts about Indian cooking and encourages fun participation with guesses, and some of the meal prep. There's also some fun competition to go around and Heather keeps it really light. I enjoyed it so much my boyfriend and I will definitely be back for their Thai cooking class! We bought the spice pack (even though we are now armed with the knowledge of going out and buying our own spices now) and can happily report back that our *homemade* yellow curry turned out awesome! We added chicken, cauliflower, shredded carrots, green beans and ate with naan vs rice. Total home run.

Rated 1.0 I left a voicemail on 6/2, 6/15, and 6/20 and sent a Facebook message to the business on 6/21 trying to schedule a class to use a voucher which expires on July 1st. I have not gotten a phone call or a response via Facebook. When I scheduled the Thai class a few months ago I had to call twice over the course of about a week before I got a call back. In this case it's been almost 3 weeks. This is ridiculous. Has the company gone under? Did the phone number change and no one bothered to update it or change the voicemail greeting on the old one? Unless they are permanently closed I expect a refund for the voucher I am unable to use (as it is not my fault if we miss the expiration date at this point) or an extension-- if someone ever gets around to calling me back. What a disappointment.
