Khaluna in Minneapolis, MN, derives its name from the Lao language, where it translates to "please," rooted in Buddhist teachings of compassion. The intricate patterns in its logo were crafted by Laotian artist Chantala Kommanivanh, drawing inspiration from the traditional Lao Sinh skirt symbolizing Laotian culture.

Embodying a resort-like ambiance, Khaluna offers a vibrant culinary experience that transports diners across oceans, catering to a diverse range of taste preferences. Chef Ann's vision for Khaluna and The Shop at Khaluna is to serve as a cultural bridge between Minneapolis and Southeast Asia, offering a fusion of flavors and traditions.

Beyond its culinary offerings, Khaluna's commitment to fair trade is evident in The Shop's selection of handcrafted goods from Laos, supporting artisans with fair wages. The Shop also doubles as a Private Dining Space and cooking studio, where Chef Ann conducts classes and demos, inviting guests to embark on a culinary journey through Southeast Asia.
