Part of Unapologetic Foods

HERITAGE SOUTHERN INDIAN CUISINE

Unapologetic Foods (Dhamaka, Adda) by restaurateur Roni Mazumdar & Chintan Pandya is bringing you to the soul of Southern India with Chef Vijay Kumar leading the charge. Semma is an exploration of heritage Southern Indian cuisine that has rarely been seen outside of local homes and neighborhoods. Chef Vijay, a native of Tamil Nadu, brings the deeply personal and authentic moments of farm-life on ancestral land unapologetically to the plate with explosive flavors and regional ingredients.

“This is a full blown South Indian uprising. Semma in Tamil means fantastic and it was indeed true to the name!”
