Reviews for Kinaara in Omaha, NE
Best Indian Food this side of Omaha by a long shot! The Chicken Biriyani is amazingly by and packed with flavor, and can be made... as spicy or as mild as you want. I had the salty sweet lime soda on my recent visit, and I was not disappointed. You shouldalways get naan when you order Indian food and it’s fantastic here. Read more
This was my very first time eating Indian Cuisine, so I was naturally apprehensive. My son got a recommendation for Kinaara from... a coworker who had been visiting Omaha. (I love personal recommendations.) The signage on the outside is very (very)nondescript, but I understand in October 2022, Kinaara is moving to a new location (so probably a good thing). Immediately uponentering Kinaara, I thought, wow, not a very big place, but tables and seats were almost all taken (a good sign). We wereimmediately greeted and seated. We did let the staff know it was our first time eating Indian Cuisine and asked for theirrecommendations. Our server, Ian, immediately placed on our table a water pitcher, and we happened to notice that all of thetables had ample water pitchers on their table, which is a win as we love water. At no time did our water glasses or pitcher goempty. On to the food, our server gave an absolute amazingly detailed description of anything we had questions on. When wesimply asked him for recommendations, Ian provided, again, impeccable detail and tantalizing descriptive details of hisrecommendations. It was very clear that Ian had actually tried and loved what he recommended! We ended up ordering (on Ian'srecommendation) the chili garlic naan and the cheese naan, and they did not disappoint. For our entree, (again, on Ian'srecommendation) we ordered the butter chicken and the special of the evening beef coconut fry. We shared our meals to taste bothof them, and again, cannot stress enough that Ian's recommendations were spot on delicious. We kind of thought we were doneeating, until low and behold, the dessert recommendations came. No, really, we thought we were done, but so far, therestaurant's recommendations were spot on, and we had to order their sticky date pudding. O-M-G, again, Kinaara's blew us awaytil the very end. We all absolutely loved the pudding. We will certainly be back to Kinaara's and cannot wait to share withfamily and frie Read more
If you like spicy, this is the place to be. You get a choice between mild, medium, hot, and extra hot. I went with medium Aloo... Gobi and was surprised I had to ask for their yogurt blend to tame it down. The service and staff were fantastic. This is thego-to spot for Indian cuisine. Read more
Must admit I didn't know what I was walking into. What I found was amazing food with an attentive wait staff. I'm looking... forward to understanding more about Indian food, the Kerala region in particular after this meal. Fish Pollichathu pictured Read more
Such a great Indian restaurant! I am visiting Omaha from out of town and this restaurant caught my attention because of the... vegan options. I ordered the masala fries, garlic naan, and jackfruit biryani. Everything was so flavorful, fresh and delicious!The spice level was perfect and really so flavorful. I ordered this to go and the staff was so friendly and fast getting myorder prepared. Definitely recommend! Read more
This was a wonderful experience. We got there super early and were sat immediately, but we had made a reservation on OpenTable... just in case. There were 5 of us. We shared 3 appetizers, garlic Naan, cheese Naan the masala fries and the kebab trio. I hadthe usual chicken biriyani. One friend had the special Chicken Dum biriyani. That one had a bone-in half chicken. Mine wasboneless. We also had the Malai Kofta (unsure on the spelling) which was just a little sweet and I really liked the flavor onthe curry, the Tikka masala, and one friend went adventurous and had the Tellicherri Pepper Goat. Lots of bones. Have to becareful eating it. Their Mango Lassi was one of the best I have had in Omaha and definitely one of the cheapest. Read more
I have been here a few times. There were issues when they first opened but a lot of that has been smoothed out. The thali is a... great option if you are by yourself out want to sample a little bit of everything. Goat vindaloo 4 stars I really liked thefact that there were no bones in this goat dish. The goat was significantly tougher than the lamb though, so I tender meat isimportant, this might be a skip. Butter chicken 4.25 stars Solid contender. Not my favorite iteration, but very goodstill. Lamb Tikka masala 5 stars The lamb was tender and the flavoring on this was my favorite. If I could only order one dishit would be this one. Salmon moile 4 to 5 stars? This started out very strong, but it doesn't sit well in comparison to otherdishes. Definitely eat this one first. It starts off at 5 stars, but if you wait it will go down to a 4. Butter naan Prettyplain. It was fine and crispy Garlic naan We really liked this one. We discussed it and decided the butter naan isn't worth thetime if you can get garlic Service continues to be an issue. The food however makes up for it. Prices are in line with what itshould be. Be prepared to ask for what you need. If you go in knowing that, it makes things a lot easier/smoother. Parking isavailable in a shared medium sized lot. Read more
