We will still offer carry out orders and will do curbside delivery if preferred. Even though this is not forced upon us, we believe in the science of flattening the curve through social distancing. Thank you for the support you have shown us in this short month that we have been open. Rest assured we will be back in full swing as soon as we responsibly can.
One of the Hindi meanings of kinaara is edge. Two lines going in different directions until they meet is the perfect way to explain Ashish's and Kimberly's journey on how ended up together and opening Kinaara. Ashish came from Kerala, India, where he started as a chef 16 years ago. From there he worked in five star hotels in Dubai before coming to America.

So far I've been here twice, and each time has been sublime! The first time I ate in the restaraunt, and it took a bit of time for the food to be made, but when it arrived the wait was SO worth it! On my first visit, I got the masala fries and jackfruit biriyani. They were so good! The second time, I ordered online by calling in with my order. The staff there then gave me a wait time and told me when the food would be ready. I reccommend calling in an hour or so before you plan to eat so that you won't have to wait much. In this order, I got malai kofta, vegetable samosas, and naan. I

I wish I could give them 10 stars!! The food was absolutely phenomenal, the service was superb, and all at a very affordable price. The chef came out to check on everyone and make sure the food was to their liking and gave a young girl at another table a free mango lassi. Wonderful experience, I’m stuffed and wish I could eat more.

Delicious.
Stopped by on our way home from CO. Kind of unassuming surroundings in a strip mall. The place doesn’t serve alcohol BUT 2 doors down there is a liquor store. I managed to find some bottles of Taj Mahal beer that I took in with me (this is allowed).
The food is outstanding. As a Brit we have kind of adopted curry as part of British culture. We ordered papadums, pakoras to start. Then for main course we had butter chicken and grandmas fish curry with some peshwari and butter naans. We went for hot which was perfect for our taste buds.
To finish we ordered the sticky date pudding

It was my first time here this past weekend. Great Indian food, so flavorful. We ordered the calamari for appetizer and it was the most delicious calamari we have had. It is not one of those basic fried calamari that come with a dipping sauce. It is still a fried calamari but dipped in a sauce that takes it to the next level along with some sauté veggies on the side. My husband highly recommends the chicken biryani! The sticky date pudding is a must have in my next visit 😍😍😍

I had heard the hype surrounding Kinaara, so I wanted to see for myself. Now I'm by no means an Indian food connoisseur, and many items on the menu were foreign to me. The waiter was fantastic about checking in on us and answering all of our questions. Our table started with the mango lassi and masala fries. Now I've had mango lassi before, but nothing compares to the mango lassi I had at Kinaara. It was so refreshing and not over-the-top sweet. I almost slurped the whole thing down before our main dishes even came out! The paneer masala fries were also very tasty and unique. For the

Tonight we tried Kinaara! I have to say off the bat the waitstaff blew me away. The team was polite, asked if we had any questions, and was extremely personable. They made it easy to make a reservation and recognized it was us and seated us right away! The chef even came out and said hello too!
Our table started out with the Marsala fries which were a hit. We ordered the chicken and paneer options.
My wife and i ordered the butter chicken and tandoori chicken for entrees with a side of naan bread. We appreciated all the flavors and the bread really was to die for.
We couldn't leave without

We ordered to-go on a Wednesday night. We were told it would be an hour wait. An hour and a half later we got our food. It took 15 minutes to get home and our food was already cold! It was not as if it was just newly finished.
The only reason this is not a 1 star is because the food was good. The spicy is very spicy, even for my Indian friend. The fish and mango curry was good which was great because I was nervous about a salmon curry. We had the paneer biryani which was very spicy! The paneer was cold. The cheese naan was delicious!

This review is for the food we had catered for our small party. Ashish went above and beyond to explain to us how the Biryani he made was different from the other Dum Biryanis found in other Indian places.
We picked up Butter chicken and Biryani .The food was marvelous. my friends couldn't believe that this came from a local restaurant.
My new fav in town!
5 stars!

Our new favorite Indian place! Best Naan in town. The Gobi was a great start. Got two of the house specials for meals. The Fish Pollichathu was something we hadn't seen before and the banana leaf wrapped fish was perfectly cooked. The Grandma's Fish and Mango Curry was a bit too spicy for my wimpy tastes, but had excellent flavor. Thee mango lassi was a great compliment. We can see why they made the Eater list of best places in Omaha!

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 the fact that there were no bones in this goat dish. The goat was significantly tougher than the lamb though, so I tender meat is important, this might be a skip.
Butter chicken 4.25 stars
Solid contender. Not my favorite iteration, but very good still.
Lamb Tikka masala 5 stars
The lamb was tender and the flavoring on this was my favorite. If

Amazing food, surprised to find such authentic Kerala flavors in the American Midwest. We ordered beef roast with parotta (beef was made to order and cooked to perfection) and thali (every curry tasted nice). At the end of our meal the chef came down personally to ask if everything was alright, nice touch.
I live in California but I will be back for more- Chef mentioned Awadhi biryani and multiple Kerala delicacies are prepared on weekends, will be back next time.
(Mom if you are reading this- the beef was for my friend, I didn't touch it)

Best butter chicken ever. Just melts in your mouth. The biryani rice is outstanding and a very generous portion. The tandoori chicken was the juiciest most tender tandoori I have ever had. They are on the spicier side for Americans so their mild is what most Americans would consider moderate.
They're doing take out for covid 19 very well. They do curbside delivery and payment.

Been wanting to try Kinaara since they took over this location.
Yesterday I parked and called in to make an order (couldn't go in due to COVID-19). The woman who answered said they were on an hour wait, but, would be happy to bring me the mango lassi I was craving.
When the woman, who turned out to be the owner, brought my drink she told me they had a couple different dishes ready if I wanted to pick from them. I was super excited to hear one of the options was tikka masala which I love!
I waited about 7 minutes and the food was brought to my car. I absolutely love mango lassi's
