As the sun rises over golden fields and the air fills with gratitude, Pongal arrives as a celebration of abundance, togetherness, and tradition. This harvest festival, Waterside invites guests to pause, gather, and savour the season with “Pongalo Pongal! — The Harvest Feast”, a specially curated Pongal lunch buffet on 14th January 2026.
The festive journey begins with the cooling comfort of Neer Mor, a traditional welcome drink that sets the tone for a leisurely afternoon. As flavours unfold, the table comes alive with festive favourites — the gentle sweetness of Mango Pachadi, the rustic charm of Keerai Adai, and the robust spices of Chettinad Pallatti Kurma, each dish echoing the warmth of home kitchens and ancestral recipes.
The Heart Of The Feast
At the heart of the feast lies a beloved pairing — soft, lacy Appams served alongside fragrant vegetarian and non-vegetarian stews, slow-cooked to perfection and rich with festive aromas. The celebration culminates in timeless classics that define Pongal itself — comforting bowls of Ven Pongal, indulgent Sakkarai Pongal, traditional Paal Pongal, and the refreshing sweetness of Elaneer Payasam.
Set against a serene ambience infused with festive cheer, the Pongal lunch at Waterside is more than a meal — it is a heartfelt homage to harvest, heritage, and togetherness.
