Kinara @ Holland Village
2011-10-26
I have heard loads of positive reviews in the past about Kinara. I was dying to go for awhile to find out what exactly the big fuss was about and was so glad I finally had the opportunity to experience it myself! My friend and I decided to pop over to Kinara for lunch after classes. The restaurant wasn't that hard to find the way I had anticipated.
When we arrived, the restaurant had just opened and they were in the process of changing cushion covers. However, the waitress welcomed us in and showed us to a table that was already set. The location was near the entrance and the seating was filled with cushions. The restaurant had a warm homely feel to it and the seating was extremely comfortable. It took about 10-15mins for our food to arrive. However, they served us with a starter that came free of charge (papadum served with with sweet & mint chutney)
This place would be perfect for a romantic date even in the afternoon! We shared two mains (the naan basket aswell as the Biryani and had two sides to go along - Paneer dish & Bombay aloo. Lassi is also a prominent beverage that compliments Indian food very well! I ordered the mango lassi which was very refreshing! The servings of food were huge and even when we were sharing the dishes we had problems finishing them resulting to asking for a take-away!
Naan Basket; which consisted of 2pcs each of the garlic, butter and sweet naan.
The naan's were fluffy and soft!
Sabz Biryani (Vegetarian)
This is one of the best vegetable biryani's I have tasted. Each bite was delightful and unlike most biryani's; it wasn't oily at all! This dish was also served with raita (which is an Indian salad of fresh carrots, onions & cucumbers immersed in yoghurt)
Bombay Aloo
This potato dish was a little gravy based. It was also mildly spicy
Paneer Dish (unfortunately forgot what it was called)
