Southern Spice
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India; Taj Coromandel, Mahatma Gandhi Salai, Nungambakkam, Chennai 600034

Southern Spice is a clearly identified restaurant within Taj Coromandel in Nungambakkam, and the hotel’s current dining pages confirm both the venue name and its Chennai location. Taj describes it as a South Indian restaurant and lists it among the hotel’s operating dining rooms, with lunch and dinner service, smart-casual dress and direct reservation contact. For travellers, that matters: this is not a vague hotel food listing but a named restaurant with its own page, menu PDF and booking pathway. The setting is deliberately formal, with interiors and service positioned for a planned meal rather than a quick stop, so it suits visitors who want a structured introduction to regional cuisine in central Chennai. What makes it especially useful in this list is the combination of exact branch identity and practical access. Taj Coromandel publishes the hotel address on Mahatma Gandhi Salai and places Southern Spice within that property, giving a reliable geographical anchor inside the city limits. The restaurant page also states cuisine, hours and contact details, which supports current operation rather than mere historical reputation. That lets this entry focus on verified visitor value: a specialist South Indian dining room in a central business-and-hotel district, appropriate for reservations, longer meals and travellers seeking a polished restaurant experience rather than casual tiffin-house dining.
