CHENNAI: Across Tamil Nadu’s highways, one can experience the touch of a local menu at thattukadais (roadside eateries). The people, food, ambience, radio, old music, benches, handwritten menus and crockery are one of a kind, leaving behind memories of years gone past.
Malgudi at the Savera Hotel has taken the Pongal festivities as an opportunity to provide the thattukadai experience in one venue. Food stalls spread across the event space will have the best of Tamil Nadu street food spread out between January 16 and 18.
