Michelin-starred South Indian regional cooking from Tamil Nadu and Kerala, with raved-about gunpowder dosa.
People
Vijay KumarChefDescription
Semma's kitchen draws on Tamil Nadu and Kerala traditions with bold, layered flavors. The gunpowder dosa and Dindigul Biryani are frequent standouts, but dishes like banana leaf seabass and Gheeroast lamb chops also earn praise. Diners note attentive service and a warm personal touch, though some mention premium prices and occasional slow pacing.
