### Why We Like It

Slang for “beyond awesome,” Kidilum is the American debut from acclaimed chef Vinu Raveendran. Here, he puts the focus on Kerala, so expect dishes like a luxurious nandu curry crab and a fragrant goat biriyani.

### About Kidilum

Kidilum is a full-sensory South Indian experience, rooted in Kerala and built for New York, where the food, cocktails, design, and hospitality hit as one. The name says it all: “Kidilum” is slang for “beyond awesome,” and that energy runs through everything in the room.

Helmed by our Culinary Director & Chef, Vinu Raveendran, Kidilum is his vision and brainchild — a deeply personal expression of Kerala’s flavors, reimagined with precision and purpose for a New York audience. Expect dishes that lead with bold ingredients and deep soul, flavors that don’t play it safe, and culinary-driven cocktails built from real regional ingredients with intention — not shortcuts.
