    Our second visit to Kinara! We booked for 8pm. Starters arrived at 845pm which was fine, as we asked not to be rushed. Only issue was we were then told the Chef was finishing at 9pm! Our top tip would be to book earlier so you can take your time with your meal as the food is so good! The waiting staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend, just book early!

    First time visiting - wow! Gorgeous restaurant and lovely vibe. Pretty quiet when we were there, but with a steady stream of eat-in and delivery customers. The servers were really lovely and kind, and so welcoming. The food menu is diverse and the food itself is INCREDIBLE! Everything we had was just sensational - such fantastic depth of flavours and textures! What a treat! The drinks and wines we also really good. But you will come back for the food and the hospitable welcome - well we will and might see you there!

    Food was amazing, very friendly service, although sometimes a bit slow, had to ask for water and the bill a few times before getting it. They said food took longer as everything is made fresh. We didn’t mind as it was so tasty.
