This South INDIAN Restaurant was AMAZING! Welcome to Saapaaduu in San Francisco!

[@saurabhsinghal102]

You are the unappreciated ambassador of Indian food. 🙏🙏🙏

[@aham-mumukshu-asmi]

As a Tamil guy, so happy to see Chef Rakesh Ragunathan be recognized so much. Such an underrated chef from India. His vlogs with his awesome mom are soulful

[@Sticklemako]

I saw the menu and i was like that's bloody brilliant.. that's so much traditional tamil cooking..we eat such tasty stuff at home

[@as4720-q3g]

Keith Sarasin thank you for this lovely video. As a South Indian I love that this video represents my community 😊

[@chefKeithSarasin]

You’re welcome! 😊

[@moinakbhattacharya878]

Right, that is the food in one of the southern states of India and limited to few hundred square kilometers, you cross that area and the food will be very different again.

[@chefKeithSarasin]

Yes, you are right

[@aishsundar2044]

Really appreciate your earnestness in pronouncing the name of the restaurant, as well as, Tamil. you came very close :)

[@cjairaj]

Seeing the culinary of South India in Bay Area, from New Delhi, it was delightful to see homely food away from home. I am from Andhra, which is again a mine of native culinary, based in New Delhi have a mountain top view of Indian cuisine. South India has five States, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telengana, Karnataka and Karela, each have these states have regions n districts having their own cuisines to savour. Yes it’s a long culinary journey for podcasters. Thanks Keith.

[@chefKeithSarasin]

So nice

[@ekamsat429]

A good job in highlighting South Indian food. Do underscore the fact that this is the peninsular half of India which manifests in its cuisine a distinctive relationship between its lush nature and its innovative people. Indeed, that enormously rich productivity played a part in motivating the Columbus voyage.

[@ashokvankit6495]

Nice Keith, Your doing good job to promoting south indian food, Love you bro❤

[@chefKeithSarasin]

Love you my friend

[@greensleeves9482]

Thanks Keith, Iam going to visit this weekend. You are doing a great great job 👏

[@anboo2seven]

Thank you for your honest review about our South Indian Cuisine. Flavors and taste are unique and incredible ❤

[@aham-mumukshu-asmi]

So happy to see the Welcome to Saapaadu present more varieties of cultural healthy cuisine than the boring Biryanis and Sambhars/potato stereotype. There are loads of cultural cuisine in Tamilnadu which have vanished from our major eateries here in Tamilnadu.

[@udibaba81]

Hey bud, if I’m not mistaking, I think you live in Massachusetts. If you ever get a chance to visit West Springfield MA, please try Pintus restaurant. It’s mostly North Indian food but some items you won’t find in regular Indian restaurants. Always try the restaurant where the chef is the actual owner of the place. They will never have problems of chefs leaving for another restaurant. Keep doing the good work you’re doing. 😊

In our home(iam an indian), we don't waste vegatable peels, we use it in our recipes in daily life keith

[@Catsindcradle]

Wow awesome. Love the food and the concept. More power to women entrepreneurs ❤

Absolutely agree

[@shelleyj6448]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ForUBorn]

I like South Indian food too but never tried the menu mentioned. Need to search authentic SI restaurant in Delhi.

Tamil Food actually called UNAVE MARUNTHU MARUNTHE UNAVU. Means FOOD is MEDICINE MEDICINE is FOOD.

[@newsnetworkz]

Let me put it this way: "Food itself is medicine, so medicine is none other than actual food"

[@jaganathmaharajan2247]

As a Tamil guy, this is my everyday meal. A proper saapadu with rice, sambar, rasam, curd, and a bunch of poriyals is just amazing! The crispy appalam, tangy pickle, and all the sides make it even better. Tamil food is simple but so flavorful, and it always feels like home. 😀

[@MG-kz9ig]

When Rakesh is there you are right Spot.. ❤

[@kasturipillay6626]

❤AWESOME, Kieth. 🤗 South Indian cuisine, is always, as we say *VEERA LEVEL * 🥥🥥👍👍

Did you try A2B Pleasanton - south India lunch thali. It’s awesome . Let us know your views

[@சென்]

Well, Tamil is the oldest living language under the sun and gave lot of words for English also. But Sappadu actually came from the English word supper. UNAVU is actual Tamil word for Food or Suppper or Saapadu.

[@ashvinsivadas]

Just cleaning the rims of green chutney bowl before serving would make it look like a Micheline star hotel food presentation. Presentation is very important.

[@manithangavalu7885]

From your profile photo, looks like ,you need your beard trimmed. Don't worry about the bowls. It's meal time.

[@ashvinsivadas]

@@manithangavalu7885 Wow, personal attack for giving a suggestion on having a good presentation. The food seemed good, the brass plates looked good, only those finishing touch would have made it look exquisite. But I didn't know a very sensitive person would get offended, even though I didn't say anything to you. You need to calm down.

[@123avbc]

Sappadu is a Tamil word , don't give false information

Inida an artificial country Cooked UP and named by the British rulers just few hundred years ago ONLY and No such any Country called India before the British came there. But Tamilnadu have been there fod several 1000 years and Tamil King Chola empire ruled part of South Asia and South East Asia 1000 years ago and used Naval ships for war. The Tamil word NAAVAI became Navy and Naval in English.
