Founder’s Story

- Sruthi Chowdary

The term "Khiladi" translates to player -- someone that is in the game and ready to do anything necessary to get the victory. In my life, that meant going against the cultural norms expected of South Asian women in today's society.

See, I'm not your typical Indian woman. I have 5 tattoos and my favorite beer is a Kingfisher. I used to play by the rules I until realized that pleasing others wouldn't lead me to living a happy, fulfilled life.

“Khiladi provides a unique dining experience. The restaurant features a wall projecting South Indian movies and hand painted mural offering great views and even better food. The chefs pride themselves on creating dishes with hints of modern creativity using traditional Indian recipes so as not to lose the authenticity of the flavors.”
