CoChilli's History

CoChilli, a name derived from the fusion of "coconut" and "chilli," two essential ingredients in South Indian cooking, has a captivating story behind its journey to bring the best of authentic South Indian cuisine to London.

It all started with a realisation - a lack of readily available, true-to-taste South Indian and specifically Kerala food in West London. Inspired by their love for the flavours and textures that coconut and chilli add to South Indian dishes, the founders embarked on a mission to create a culinary haven where the vibrant essence of Kerala's cuisine could flourish.

The journey began with a deep-rooted understanding that food holds the power to connect people with their cultural roots and create a sense of home away from home. The team at CoChilli, driven by their own experiences and the needs of the growing South Indian community in the UK, set out to fill this void.

Every step was meticulously taken to ensure authenticity. From sourcing the freshest ingredients to partnering with skilled chefs well-versed in South Indian culinary traditions, CoChilli left no stone unturned in delivering an unmatched dining experience. The team's dedication to capturing the true flavours, spices, and techniques of Kerala cooking became the cornerstone of CoChilli's success. Word spread quickly, and CoChilli's commitment to providing the best authentic South Indian cuisine garnered praise and loyalty from both the South Indian community and adventurous food enthusiasts alike.

The distinctive flavours, warm hospitality, and meticulous attention to detail became the trademark of CoChilli's dining experience. Building upon this success, CoChilli expanded its offerings to include Cochilli Eats, an exclusive food club. This expansion allowed food enthusiasts to further indulge in the wonders of South Indian and Malayalee cuisine. CoChilli Eats became a cherished space where patrons could immerse themselves in the rich culinary heritage and experience the depth of flavours that South India has to offer.

Today, CoChilli stands tall as a symbol of culinary excellence and cultural connection. With every dish, they continue to embody the spirit of their name, elevating South Indian cuisine to new heights. Choosing CoChilli means choosing the best of authentic South Indian flavours, creating an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the true essence of Kerala's culinary traditions.
