A 2025 James Beard Awards semifinalist for Best Chef in the South, Nikhil Abuvala began his culinary career at the age of 13, fueled by a deep appreciation for multicultural cooking. He now flawlessly masters a wide spectrum of cuisine across his South Walton, Florida, restaurants.
As Chef-Owner of Roux 30A, he’s created one of the most beloved fine-dining restaurants in Grayton Beach. He focuses on the concept of “breaking bread” – allowing both friends and even complete strangers to share a unique experience through multi-course tasting menus. The Daytrader Tiki Bar & Restaurant is a festive beachfront spot on the Seaside food scene, combining coastal flavor with inspiration from the Polynesian islands. His latest venture, Saladita Taqueria, also in Grayton Beach, offers an elevated street-style taco concept with braised meats and a creative selection of toppings.
