NENDRAN

Rooted in Kerala, Nendran begins with the humble banana that is woven into everyday life across the region. Its journey moves along India’s tropical coast toward Southeast Asia, bringing together warm earth, coastal air and tropical flavours.

Born in Kerala, carried by the coast.

NENDRAN

Nendran is a portrait of the South through its most familiar fruit.

In Kerala, the banana is woven into everyday life grown around homes, carried to markets, cooked, shared and celebrated. This cocktail takes that humble familiarity and moves it into a more contemporary expression, imagining a journey along India’s tropical coastline, where the warmth of the land meets the influence of the sea.

The result is rich, smoky and quietly tropical, but deliberately refined a meeting point between Kerala’s agricultural soul and the broader flavours of South East India.

Nendran is less about recreating a dish than capturing a sense of place: warm earth, tropical abundance, coastal air and the idea that a single ingredient can travel far beyond where it began.

Nendran — Kerala at heart, South East in spirit.

Fraser Valley Duck, Kerala Style.

Dry-aged for 14 days, this duck dish is inspired by the Syrian Christian families of Kerala, where gentle spices, coconut milk, and curry leaves form the heart of the curry.

Served with heirloom Sri Lankan rice from our friends at Cha's Organics, this dish is a reflection of Kerala’s rich culinary traditions, interpreted through Kavita’s contemporary lens.
