🌶️Spice levels are real, not toned down for American palates

Semma brings chef Vijay Kumar's Tamil Nadu childhood to Greenwich Village: snails in tamarind, venison with star anise, and a shatteringly crisp Gunpowder Dosa. The room channels South India through rattan chairs and tropical wallpaper, while servers guide you through dishes that keep their original names and refuse to cater to American palates.
