Owner Sruthi Chowdary made the announcement on Instagram yesterday afternoon ...
July 2nd will be our last service, please come join us in bidding a farewell to this beautiful/challenging journey of ours. It hasn’t been an easy 4 years, COVID threw the world in a chaotic mode and our journey was definitely influenced by it! The most beautiful part of it all is how we were able to build a community around it and how that community came through during the thick of it!People, food and music will always be the core of our being, but sometimes good things have to come to an end too. Stay tuned to see what the future holds for us!
The restaurant, which served Southern Indian fare, debuted in August 2019 to positive reviews.
It wasn't always easy here. Someone broke into the restaurant, which had been helping feed area families as part of the Neighborhood Food Swap during the COVID-19 crisis, in late May 2020.
This past March, a neighbor accidentally drove into Khiladi's curbside dining structure ... in the morning before the restaurant was open for the day... and destroyed the seating area...
The space is now on the rental market via KSR.

oh how sad, we love Khiladi :(
All the good places are disappearing
Khiladi is excellent. This is truly sad news. Both at the restaurant and delivery. Delicious food and wonderfully attentive to some food allergies. Please come back!
Really delicious food but definitely expensive for the portions, especially on Avenue B. That might just be the reality of the food being served, but even loving the food it was very hard to consider a dinner that was easily going to run me $50+ for two before any drinks.
Khiladi is exactly the kind of business we love in Alphabet City. The warmest welcome, excellent food made with love, and owners who are present and a delight. You will be missed!
So sorry to hear this,
Feeling bad 😞
