AboutKanyakumari, a labor of love for Mehta to showcase the cuisine of Southern India and of the Tamil community. At the southernmost tip of India, where the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal meet, is a town called Kanyakumari, which, as of this week, also shares its name with New York's first restaurant specializing in dishes from the Indian coast.
