    Amazing food and great service! The flavors were authentic, and every dish was perfectly spiced. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance felt warm and welcoming. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants around for a family gathering.

    The ambience was amazing serene music very chill and a soothing fountain lighting was top notch. THE FOOD!!! Was AWESOME!!!! I got the chefs Biriyani lamb and chicken tender as hell medium is right temperature for you to eat in. Hot wouldn't be too bad at home. The drinks are sneaky hitters. Appear to be nice and subtle but will be feeling nice and right. Love the customer service they are attentive but not too much food come out in very reasonable time. I'm coming back for sure. OH YEAH Pani Puri is all I'ma say magnifique.

    The food and drinks here at Kinara was amazing! Definitely stop by and give them a go! My boyfriend and I were looking to try something different and decided on this place! We didn’t have very high expectations but boy were we wrong! The dishes definitely packed a flavorful punch and we left satisfied! We even decided to order a few extras just to take home! We will definitely be returning soon!

    The worst excuse for an Indian Buffet ever. Arrived shortly after opening. Place was empty except for one other table. The smallest buffet I have ever seen. Half the items were mosty empty (no one refilled anything the entire time we were there). Food was underseasoned. Most items were dry or chewy. Only one disgusting desert item. And the final straw- asked for change for a 20 at the check out counter- guy only had one's.... Never again.....

    Beautiful restaurant with top quality food, would highly recommend! We have come here a few times now, and every time the food is absolutely delicious! I tend to go with the popular butter chicken or Tikka masala, while my wife prefers more of the traditional dishes, and we both are always amazed by the depth of flavor and the great portion sizes. Their rice is delicious and fluffy, the naan has that great chewy texture and feels like it was freshly made minutes ago, even by the time we get home with our takeout. If you're looking for a place that is filling, tasty, and full of variety, look no further! This place is a must-try
