I had a satisfying traditional lunch at Shanmugam Hotel, Kadaiyanallur. The food is served on a fresh banana leaf, giving that authentic Tamil Nadu touch. The meals were simple yet flavorful -- hot white rice with a variety of curries, sambar, rasam, poriyal, kootu, and pachadi. Each dish tasted homely, with the right amount of spice. The highlight for me was the vegetable sides and chutney which reminded me of a home-cooked meal. Portion sizes are generous, and service is quick with staff refilling rice and curries promptly. The place is clean and has that old-school mess ambience where you can enjoy a no-frills but hearty South Indian meal. Overall, a great spot in Kadaiyanallur for authentic vegetarian lunch at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend it for anyone passing through the town or looking for a proper Tamil Food
