Uday Kadam and his Guru Indian Restaurant team are now celebrating their 12th anniversary. Guru offers you a very unique local experience in high quality Indian dining with the best customer service experiences. Guru Indian Restaurant was founded in 2014 by Owner and Chef Uday Kadam in Clermont, after he owned award winning restaurants in Orlando and across Florida. He knew that Clermont would be the most perfect community for a fine dining Indian food emporium.
Numerous community business leaders and dignitaries attended as they celebrated the start of their anniversary with a South Lake Chamber of Commerce Business After-Hours Red-Carpet event at The Venue, just across the patio from the Guru Indian Restaurant.
This successful local business offers over 50 authentic family entree recipes. Independently family owned, Guru Indian Restaurant proudly and independently serves their unique appetizers as well as their freshly cooked entrees with chicken, beef, lamb, seafood, Biryani, vegetable, and vegan entrée dishes while always custom preparing and cooking them to perfection. The staff will always ask you for your desired tastes and spice levels. Each dish is then created the way you want it, flavored from mild or normal, medium or hot and extra spicy. Guru Indian Restaurant continues to serve generous portions of fine quality fresh foods and ingredients available.
Clermont’s Guru Indian Restaurant has consistently been awarded over the years with ‘Best Indian Restaurant’ and ‘Best Entrée’ Awards by numerous organizations, various online and print media outlets. Other impressive honors include the ‘Best Entrée’ award at the Taste of South Lake Festivals and ‘Best Lunch Spot’ by the South Lake Chamber of Commerce. Guru has been named one of the very Top Restaurants in Central Florida since 2018 by nationally respected Trip Advisor. This past year, Trip Advisor named Guru Indian Restaurants one of the ‘Top 10% of the Restaurants in the World!” This past year, Uday published his tell-all life story with a book called, ‘Lone Lion’. It quickly became one of Amazon’s Top 10 Best Sellers.
David Colby noted, “Throughout his years in Clermont, this leader has made community involvement a meaningful part of his work. He proudly supports the men and women who serve and protect our community, by hosting an appreciation luncheon each fall for our Clermont Police, Fire, and Rescue EMT staffs to thank them for all they do. His generosity extends throughout the community through supporting local businesses such as the Clermont Woman’s Club Luncheon, and more through donations. He has also supported numerous local schools through sponsorships of athletic programs, art events, and cultural and educational activities, while often providing food to help make these events special for students, families, and staff.”
As one of South Lake’s most popular chefs, Uday Kadam recently received the very prestigious South Lake Chamber of Commerce Ann Dupee Gem of the Hills Award presented by SLCC CEO David Colby and Chamber Board Chairperson Donna Kirtland. David Colby noted, “We are pleased to present this SLCC Award to Uday Kadam as he is an individual whose dedication and service to the South Lake community embody the spirit of this prestigious honor. Through his businesses with Guru Indian Restaurant and now The Venue, he has created more than a place to enjoy a meal. He has created gathering places where people come together, celebrate milestones, conduct business, support charitable causes, and experience the culture and hospitality that have defined his career. We honor Uday Kadam as he continues his success story as defined by his generosity, gratitude, and a genuine commitment to giving back to the community he is proud to call home”
