Southern Spice

A must try phenomenon is Maha Virundhu. An experience. The dishes are beautifully presented. Beautifully explained. And the taste is amazing. Singling out these three lovely gentlemen: Shivakumar (Manager) ; Perumal (Chef); Govindarajan (Waiter) Brilliant. Pro tip: go easy on the starters / papads

An exceptional dining experience at Southern Spice, Taj Coromandel! The restaurant truly captures the essence of South Indian heritage, offering an authentic and luxurious culinary journey. The food was outstanding, with rich flavors and impeccable presentation, staying true to traditional recipes. The service was warm and attentive, making the entire experience even more special. What stood out the most was the cultural ambiance—live classical dance performances added a beautiful touch to the evening, enhancing the overall atmosphere. The attention to detail, from the décor to the traditional plating, was remarkable. A must-visit for anyone looking to experience the finest South Indian cuisine in a regal setting!

You must come hungry! We arrived as the first table at 1900. Worried a little but after the evening goes on, it gets busier and busier. Great service with every dish. The Chef and team were very kind to ensure we are okay with the spicyness and others. The Fish Biriyani also great but not as good as one at Taj Falaknuma Palace. Though at the end, we could tell the team was overwhelmed as guests just sat themselves at any tables they could find, so probably best to go early to enjoy the full experience.

We had such a great time at Southern Spice! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was even better. I went for the Maha Virundhu, which was this huge meal with so many amazing South Indian dishes – every single one was perfect. My wife just wanted something simple, so she got the idiyappam and stew, and she loved it too. But honestly, what made our lunch special was Bala. He took such good care of us, making sure we had everything we needed. And it wasn't just us – we watched him do the same for everyone in his station. He was just so welcoming and friendly, it really made the whole experience fantastic. His hospitality alone makes Southern Spice worth visiting. Seriously, huge shout out to Bala!
