    I went to the bloom Festival on Monday at Phoenex Park with my family and i must say the best food was from kinara Kitchen , Chicken Barbecue which was named katakat , the biryani and Butter chicken were amazing and how can i forget mouth watering cold mango lassi. Well done Kinara.

    Looking for an unforgettable dining experience? Look no further than Kinara Kitchen! I recently enjoyed a romantic Valentine's Day dinner at this fantastic restaurant, and I have to say. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly staff member dressed in traditional Indian attire, which added to the unique and interesting vibe of the place. The ambience was just right, with a cozy and intimate feel, and nearly every seat in the house was filled. But what really stood out to me was the food. The Okra fries on the side were crunchy and delicious, and the perfect accompaniment to our main course. And the dessert - a perfectly prepared gulab jamun with ice cream - was the ultimate sweet ending to an incredible meal. But the best part? The food at Kinara Kitchen is truly authentic Indo-Pakistani cuisine, which makes it a standout in the Dublin dining scene. If you're looking for a restaurant that serves up amazing food with a unique and interesting vibe, Kinara Kitchen should definitely be at the top of your list.

    Probably the hottest meal i’ve ever had, had chicken for starters blew the head off me, washed it down with some lovely cobra beer, will need to return as i heard the cocktails are best in Dublin, the meal was glorious and reasonably priced and we will certainly return for food again, Shoutout to the gent working the door, proper geezer 👊🏽

    Loved the food and service. We ordered Tandoori chicken tikka and biryani and both were really good. I don't know how the chef made chicken tikka so tender but so crispy at the same time but that's a must have. Overall 👌

    Overall, food is good, cocktails are OK (I like Pina colado ;)). The staff I felt is good but manager maybe a little weird sometimes. 2 of our friends coming from back were a bit late and I wanted to order cocktails, imagine what they told me?? They told me and I quote, "there's no one right now to make cocktails as we are on high time and all our folks are on floor" :D ROFL .. But 5 mins later after I made a bad face, they served cocktails. End of the dinner we had a nice time and a bill of 249€, so we were not doing a timepass there for sure.

    I ordered a beef Nihari with rice and a naan. The beef was super low quality. Extremely dry, stringy, low quality beef. I do not recommend this restaurant

    My wife recommended this place to me so we decided to go there on a date. The service is amazing. They have so many nice cocktails on the menu and the food was unreal. I can't wait to go back to this place ❤️

    This was by far one of the best evenings of food with pairing cocktails. The bar bites were exquisite with unusual cocktails. Taking Indian cuisine to new and unexpected heights. Well done Kinara Kitchen. Go and have a great experience with the most professional yet friendly staff. You will not be disappointed!!

    Staff were very friendly upon entrance. Early bird menu was affordable, and worth the price! Ordered the lamb dish that was cooked to perfection. Staff even put candles and sang happy birthday for my best friend. Would highly recommend!

    For authentic high end rich flavours beautiful cuisine of Pakistan this is the place! This is an establishment that withstood the test of time. Dedication to quality produce and great service over the years. For starters Bahri Kebab outstanding excellent portion tender perfectly cooked comes with yogurt. Karachi biryani signature dish perfectly cooked lamb but very spicy for this not accustomed to spicy food. Can’t wait to try rest of menu!

    Had the best experience at Kinara, everything from food to service is excellent! We had sea bass and chicken tikka starters, lamb main courses - the meat was tender and juicy, everything full of flavour. Finished the dinner with mango lassi which was so good - light, smooth, with a perfect amount of sweetness, absolutely delicious. The service was so good that we kept talking about it after we left! Attentive, professional, knowledgeable staff. Thank you for a fantastic experience, we look forward to coming back! :)

    Pathetic food. Ordered palak panner and it was sweet: how can palak paneer be sweet - is it a sweet dish? The color doesn’t match with how palak paneer looks. Just a waste of money. Pls never order food from here.palak panner was like a sweet item.

    Great Indian food, really friendly team and now great cocktails especially on a Wednesday. A Ranelagh gem.

    We went to Kinara for the first time last night and we must say how impressed we were with the whole experience. The food was outstanding, and the service from the staff upstairs was a credit to the restaurant. This is up there with one of the best meals we have had. We are already looking forward to our next visit. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Mr Mrs Tyler

    Good food and very professional service. I took the prawns jalfrezi and my husband the lamb korma - although we have had better ones, we thought the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Recommended if you are in Ranelagh.

  • 5/5 Aisling P. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite simply the best takeaway around! Phenomenal. We did try a couple of others during the recent closure but nothing comes close! The prawns are the best I’ve had. Ever 😋 We love the lamb Biryani and Makanwala Murghi

    Kinara is a fabulous restaurant, the food is sublime and the staff members are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend giving them a visit. My favourite starters are the crab claws & the lamb chops. My favourite mains are the Lamb Biryani, chicken korma and the Chicken Tikka Masala.

    One of the best Indians in Dublin. Food and ambiance is top class. The only draw back is it’s quite salty and oily but that adds to the flavour so not for every night

  • 5/5 Abby M. 1 year ago on Google
    Drove from Kilkenny to visit! Has to be my favourite restaurant ever! Crab Claws to start followed by a delicious Masala for main! Mango cocktail was UNREAL. Driving home booking my next visit ♥️

    After high expectations from amazing online reviews, we tried the lamb biriyani and tandoori khas platter. The platter was commendable, but the biriyani was extremely spicy, with a dominant ginger taste and unexpected condiments. Unsure if this was a off day or the norm, but we hope for a better experience next time.

  • 4/5 Mithra D. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best indian food I have tasted in Dublin. Good place to hangout with friends. Just that the Starters were a bit dry and chewy. But the biriyani was simply awesome. We loved it. And it went to a different level with the deserts. All the deserts we added were top notch. Must try if you need some good indian food experience. Covid certa required now for indoor dining.

    Incredible - best Indian / Pakistani / curry in Dublin. The dishes are quite mild but you can request extra spice. Lovely atmosphere and staff.
