A restaurant, Hotel Milagu, on North Masi Street in Madurai found itself in the middle of a controversy over a poster on Thursday.
The poster advertising ‘Kumbakonam Iyer Chicken’ was pasted prominently at the eatery. As it was offensive in taste, members of Tamil Nadu Brahmins Association staged a protest in front of the restaurant.
They alleged that the sentiments of the community was offended by clubbing the name with a food item unrelated to it.
Following the protest, partner of the restaurant Immanuel Devavaram tended an unconditional apology to the association and took down the poster immediately.
“It was a mistake made by one of the inexperienced staff, while I was out of station and it was not done intentionally to offend any community or religious sentiments. I have given an apology letter,” the restaurateur said.
