New South Indian Restaurant in NYC 

I was invited to a special pre-opening of this new South Indian restaurant in NYC, and I was impressed. The space is beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting ambience. The food was served in a fancy, elegant way, but the flavors stayed bold, rich, and authentically Kerala-style—definitely worth recommending. Unlike many upscale South Indian spots with limited vegetarian options, this place has plenty, and I didn’t even get to try everything on the menu!

What did I try ?

Mocktails 
Paccha - Lychee and citrus drink 
Chakotra - Grapefruit chili drink - I loved it 

Appetizer
Podi Idi
Thayir Wada 
Beet Bonda Pachadi 
Chakka 

Main Course 
Vazhajau - Plantain Cutlet must try 
Koon Theeyal - Mushroom Curry was so flavorful 
Parippu - Dal 

Sides 
Rice 
Dosa 

Dessert 
Ilaneer Payasam - This was so divine and loved the cashew crunch
Kappi 

The restaurant is called Kidilum.nyc which means Beyond Awesome in Malayalam 
📍 31 W 21st St, New York, NY 10010
