Dining

South Indian cuisine, often reflecting Dravidian traditions, features an array of mainly vegetarian dishes typically eaten with steamed rice. Tamil cuisine, known for its bold use of spices, aims to balance all six tastes—sweet, sour, bitter, salty, astringent, and pungent—in a meal. A traditional Thali sometimes served on a banana leaf, is a feast of diverse flavours and textures, so observing local dining etiquette can be insightful. In Chennai, the term 'hotel' frequently denotes a restaurant, and signage will usually indicate whether meat is served. While upscale hotels often house excellent restaurants with lavish lunch buffets, the street stalls offer an equally rich culinary experience. Be sure to explore different times of day, as some dishes are exclusive to breakfast or night-time dining.
