Private South Indian Vegetarian Dining with a Local Near the Chennai Airport
Enjoy a private and authentic home cooked meal with your host Uma. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy traditional South Indian cuisine with a creative twist made by a local who lives close to the airport.

An expert cook, she says she can convert any diehard non-vegetarian into a vegetable lover. Uma lives in the Guindy neighborhood of Chennai, about a 15-min drive from the Chennai airport as you head into the city. Her home is also close to the ITC Grand Chola, Ramada Plaza and Park Hyatt hotels.
