The Reef at Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa is set to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi with a specially curated culinary experience inspired by the simplicity, traditions and flavours of South Indian temple cuisine.

Taking place on 14 September 2026, the festive offering brings together traditional preparations rooted in age-old recipes and temple food traditions. The experience is designed as a celebration of food, devotion, community and regional culinary heritage.

The thoughtfully curated spread features a selection of familiar preparations prepared using time-honoured techniques and traditional flavours. Guests can savour Puliyodharai, Milagu Vadai, Sundal, Sarkarai Pongal, Kootu, Poriyal and Tomato Rasam, representing the comforting flavours associated with South Indian festive and temple kitchens.

The menu also includes Langar Dal, Aloo Sabzi and Daddojanam, along with traditional preparations such as Appam and Adhirasam. A selection of festive sweets, including Payasam, completes the spread.

The culinary experience brings together savoury temple favourites, traditional accompaniments and festive desserts, offering diners an opportunity to explore the diversity of food traditions associated with celebrations across the region.

Rather than focusing on elaborate contemporary interpretations, the menu places emphasis on familiar flavours and traditional preparations. The offering aims to recreate the sense of comfort and community associated with festive meals and temple kitchens.

Set within the relaxed coastal setting of The Reef, the experience combines traditional cuisine with the hospitality of Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa. Guests can celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi through a meal that pays tribute to South India's rich culinary traditions.

The limited-period experience offers families and diners an opportunity to mark the festival through food while discovering the flavours and preparations that have remained part of India's festive culinary heritage.
