"I started this joint in the name of my mother Ammathai, who was the brain behind this project. If I receive encouraging feed backfrom my customers, the credit should go to my mother and my wife, Sumathi. My mother was the fulcrum who had finalised the menu and trained my wife, Sumathi, in this field. After my mother's retirement, now my wife has taken the mantle and is doing the job creditably well," says Senthilvel, proprietor of the Amma Mess.
