Our story

Bringing the warmth of Kerala home to Dublin

Cloudelle began with a feeling familiar to anyone living far from home — and grew into a place where that feeling lives again.

How it began

A longing, turned into a home

It started with a longing — for the food, the faces and the easy company of Kerala. The kind of evening where the chai is hot, the match is on, and everyone's welcome at the table.

So we built a place for it in Dublin. Nilayam — meaning "home" in Malayalam — became our members' clubhouse: somewhere to slow down, share a meal and feel you belong. Around it grew a kitchen that caters celebrations across the city, and a takeaway that puts proper Kerala cooking within easy reach.

"Not just a place to eat — a place to come home to."

Today, Cloudelle is three things in one: a clubhouse where members gather, a catering team trusted with life's big moments, and a takeaway loved for staying true to its roots. Whichever door you come through, you'll find the same thing waiting — good food, and good company.

നിലയം
Nilayam — “home”

More than a word on a sign. It's the promise behind everything we do: that wherever you've travelled from, there's a seat saved for you, a plate filling up, and a room that feels like yours.

What we stand for

Everyone's welcome

Open to all, whatever your background or faith. A table with room for everyone.

How we grew

From a feeling to a home

Every part of Cloudelle started with the same question: how do we make Dublin feel a little more like Kerala?

The longing

A wish for the food, the faces and the easy evenings of home — and the realisation that many across Dublin felt exactly the same.

A home named Nilayam

We opened the clubhouse — a members' space to gather, eat, watch the match and belong.

A table that travels

Our catering kitchen grew from it, bringing authentic feasts to weddings, festivals and celebrations across the city.

Kerala, to your door

The takeaway followed — proper biriyanis and curries, cooked to order for pick-up or delivery.

All in one app

Today it all lives in the Cloudelle app: order, book, cater and join Nilayam, wherever you are.
