Chennai, Aug.08 : The Residency presents Tirunelveli food festival at Spice Jar Restaurant from the 4th to 13th August 2017.

The diversity in Tirunelveli cuisine has evolved from its past, when major historical & social events dictated the menu selections & choice of ingredients, the foundation being uppu / puli/ kaaram and influenced by cuisine from across communities , like the Naadars, the Thevars, the Saiva pillais and the Muslims. This inspired our Executive Chef Ganesh to come up with the food festival.
