Introducing Una Villa and Una Villa-Traditional:
When it comes to food, people have their own preferences. Some people take pleasure in cooking, while others prefer eating food cooked by others. Some people prefer to eat the same kind of food all their lives, while others love to explore different restaurants and different dishes. No matter in which group you are, food is undeniably an integral part of all of our lives. However, in today’s busy world, work schedules can be hectic, leaving very little time for cooking meals at home. In such cases, people often seek a homely atmosphere to have their meal. Considering this, KICL started their journey in fine dining by creating ‘Una Villa’, its own division, with the concept of ‘Home away from home’.
Far from being just a usual eatery, Una Villa is a restaurant known for its continental and fusion dishes. It is located in Nungambakkam, Chennai. This location was a 60-year-old home that has been beautifully renovated into a dining place. The core intention of Una Villa is to create a comfortable eating environment and produce delectable foods.
In September 2024, KICL opened ‘Una Villa—Traditional’ in Indira Nagar, Adyar, Chennai. It is the most promising restaurant in Chennai, and this opening shows that the restaurant is gaining popularity among people.
The name “Una Villa” reflects KICL’s vision very well. In Tamil, ‘Una’ means ‘food’, and ‘villa’ means ‘home’. Together, Una Villa reflects their commitment to serve delicious food in a homely atmosphere.
Vision of blending tradition with modern dining:
Food traditions are a direct reflection of cultural identity. The food traditions of a community are composed not of just recipes but of the methods and technologies by which foods are grown, gathered, stored, prepared, served, and thrown out. Such traditions include culturally transmitted rules that govern the taste of food. It gives us an identity and makes our taste buds feel the love for food. In recent years, the food industry has changed a lot. In today’s digital world, people are running behind on their day-to-day necessities. They don’t often get time to speak with each other. Family dining experiences become very rare. The convenience of fast food and takeout options overshadows the joy of sharing meals as a family. Una Villa aims to bring back the tradition of family dining by creating a space where people can come together over healthy, delectable food.
What differentiates Una Villa Traditional from other restaurants is that staff members wear white dhotis and shirts, which are traditional attires of Tamil Nadu. This shows that Una Villa values its culture and tradition. When customers see the staff in traditional wear, it makes them feel more at home. Una Villa reconnects us to our traditions. They keep our tradition alive while providing delectable dishes with a modern twist. By blending traditional atmosphere with modern flavours, Una Villa redefine the dining experience.
