A new Indian restaurant for 11th and B


[Photo from Friday]

A new Indian restaurant is prepping to open on the northeast corner of Avenue B and 11th Street.

Khiladi will serve "South Indian tapas," according to their application on the CB3 website. (CB3 recently OK'd a beer-wine license for Khiladi.) Their hours of operation are listed as 11 a.m. to midnight daily.

Meanwhile, work continues inside and outside the space (175 Avenue B). Over the weekend, workers painted a red strip around the restaurant ...



... and EVG regular Gojira shared this photo of the in-progress mural inside the dining room...



Old Monk, from prolific restaurateur Sushil Malhotra, closed here at the beginning of the year after 18 months in service. Previous restaurants at this address have included Babu Ji, Spina, Uovo and Panificio.

The red stripe looks cool. But they're not allowed to do that right? Cause then every business will just paint whatever they want on the sidewalk?

Good luck. They haven’t even opened yet and they're already in the red.

That 90's Herb Ritts image on the wall is not working for me, guess I will have to keep it to my back if I ever eat here.

"South Indian tapas", great, small portions for big price. See ya in 18 months...

18 months is optimistic, I'll give them 10
