40 | LUXlife Magazine n 2017, Palette was established by Calvin Kolluri and his wife, Sujatha, who were inspired to fill a gap in the local market for ethnic restaurants. Whilst there were many good pizza places popping up across the Rayford area, they noticed a significant lack of ethnic flavours and wanted to bring a taste of India into the community. Food has always been far more than just a pleasant taste for Calvin; he found that it always provided him with a lasting impression, experience, and memory. His fascination with food began early. As a child in India, he remembers watching his mother create magic in the kitchen, whose flavour combinations continue to resonate in his own cooking today. Throughout his life, Calvin believes that he has truly experienced the tastes of the world, from different corners of India to the urban diversity of the United States. He and Sujatha have travelled across America, gaining firsthand experience with various cuisines. Over time, his Indian style of cooking has evolved to incorporate flavours from New York, Chicago, and now the South.

For example, one states, “Palette is a family-run business where the owners make every effort to make you feel like part of the family. It is the type of welcome that you simply do not experience at other restaurants. I have never been to this restaurant without one (or both) of the owners coming to my table to greet me. They will gladly engage in conversation and explain the differences between dishes and offer recommendations.” As a result, it is no surprise that Palette Indian Kitchen has been awarded Best Indian Culinary Experience, Texas, in the Food and Drink Awards 2023.
