This special event, featuring a restaurant takeover, promises an extraordinary degustation menu meticulously curated by the culinary maestros that helm the kitchens of ‘Nadodi’.
The dishes take culinary influences from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Northern Sri Lanka, and remain deeply rooted in tradition while being presented with modern gastronomic finesse, premium ingredients and playful textures.

The culinary and service team at Nadodi is steadfast in ensuring that every meal is a perfectly orchestrated one that showcases the confluence of traditionally rustic flavours and creative pairings.
Founded by Cinnamon Group CEO, Abbi Kanthasamy, Nadodi pays homage to the early settlers of Malaysia and the surrounding region. The curated degustation menus showcase reimagined heritage dishes, skillfully crafted to retain the authentic yet diverse flavours and richness of the South Indian Subcontinent.
‘At Nadodi, we aim to change the perception of South Indian and traditional Northern Sri Lankan cuisine, shining a spotlight on the rich culinary heritage of the region’ shares Abbi Kanthasamy. ‘Our nomadic ancestors greatly influenced Malaysia’s culinary landscape, and at Nadodi, we pay homage to their journeys through a reimagined expression of familiar dishes, techniques, and ingredients.”
