    We had a very good dinner and were happy with all aspects of our dining experience in Kinara Kitchen, with the possible exception of the background music.

    Incredible food! Possibly the best Indian meal I have ever had. So full of flavour and felt so fresh. Great staff and service too. We’ll definitely be back!

    The starters were great. The main courses less so. I asked whether my main course was spicy. They said medium and offered to dial it down. I accepted, foolishly perhaps. I tried all of the main courses from my 5 colleagues. They were all good but lacked a little bit of kick, including my own.

    The service was very nice and they did a nice birthday song. But as for the food it was absolutely not it. The paneer handi was anything but that. It was more like a Madras curry thing going on. The chicken bhuna did not have the right flavours or colour and texture. The saving graces were the two starters, tandoori chicken thighs and tandoori prawns. The naan was exceptional and probably the star of the dinner. But overall for the price and the hype of the place it was personally a big disappointment for us.
