Cassava, Kochi Marriott X Reef, Sheraton Chennai

 

(A 10-Day Immersive Epicurean Takeover Celebrating the Coastal and Culinary Heritage of Kerala)\

June 10:This June, the vibrant coastal flavours of Kerala travel from the backwaters of Kochi directly to the sun-drenched shores of Chennai. In an exciting culinary collaboration, Cassava, the celebrated dining destination from Kochi Marriott Hotel, is taking over The Reef at the Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa from June 12th to June 21st, promising a deeply rooted, multi-sensory journey across God’s Own Country.

The exclusive menu reflects centuries of cultural confluence, seamlessly weaving together Malabar spice trails, historic Syrian Christian households, and rustic backwater cuisine. Prepared using time-honoured techniques and hand-ground spices, the selection highlights fresh seafood and local catches that perfectly complement The Reef's relaxed, vibrant beachside atmosphere.

Guests can look forward to a thoughtfully curated experience that brings together the finest regional delicacies. Seafood lovers are in for a treat with standout dishes like the tangy and perfectly spiced Meen Mango Tawa, the deeply comforting Crab Rasam, and the crispy, flavorful Koonthal Porichathu (squid fry), alongside an array of fresh, smoky Seafood Grills. For those who swear by the legendary biryanis of the region, the festival will feature the iconic, fragrant Malabar Chicken Biryani and the robust, slow-cooked Malappuram Mutton Biryani.

"We are thrilled to bring the incredible culinary legacy of Cassava to Chennai," says Pallavi Mishra, Director of F&B at Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa. "This festival is a true storytelling experience through taste. By partnering with Kochi Marriott, we have brought down traditional recipes and authentic spices to ensure every single bite feels warm, rooted, and thoroughly evocative of Kerala's rich history, from slow-cooked coastal curries to generational Syrian Christian recipes."

Whether you are looking to relive memories of a meal back home or explore the depth of Kerala's regional kitchens, this 10-day takeover offers an unforgettable, immersive feast for both lunch and dinner.
