Jamuna Paati

Cooking for the soul

At the heart of our kitchen is our vibrant Jamuna paatti, for whom food is the best expression of friendship and love.

Drawing inspiration from the recipes of her own childhood, seasoned with her creativity, each dish reflects her deep
passion for fresh, nutritious food and her joy of feeding everyone around her.

Her meticulously planned menu includes healthy alternatives to rice, with fresh seasonal vegetables cooked in authentic South Indian spices, and an experience of a real treat for the senses. Take a journey into south Indian culture in our abode!

Maybe it’s a flavour you remember from childhood, or that familiar aroma of spices roasting in ghee…or maybe, you just want to explore and discover new flavours. Whichever it may be, at Podi and Poriyal, we take you on a trip down memory lane with you. Because we believe that good food should be shared; food that offers nourishment, not just for the body, but also for the soul, leaving you with a lasting impression of warmth and love -an impression you will remember for a long time to come. While we aim to become one of the best South Indian restaurants in Singapore, our primary motivation always lies in serving the most authentic and tasty vegetarian fare to our patrons.
We hope to create very positive and fond memories of South Indian cuisine at our restaurant in Little India!
