Mediocre Indian Food- Low-Grade Chicken – I am not sure how this restaurant gets such good reviews. The food I have had at Kinara has been mediocre at best. The chicken is rubbery and fatty. The dishes are rather bland and the decor of the restaurant is strange. Their food is really cheap, especially for lunch if you take-out. They charge you around $8 for a huge portion of an entree and two sides from their buffet- that's why I used to eat their food. But the price definitely reflects the quality of the ingredients they use... read more

excellent Indian cuisine and friendly,helpful staff. – An outstanding experience for the uninitiated to Indian cuisine. We put ourselves at the waiters discretion with the stipulation of toning down the spices. We were introduced to excellent choices with a sampling of a large variety of dishes. Also the atmosphere was welcoming and very helpful. This ambience spread to the other diners who were friendly and pleasant. Each visit to the area includes dining at Kinara as a must! We have dined at Kinara's at least six times and... read more

Healthy Indian Food – I have tried a lot of Indian Restaurants in NY, but Kinara stands out of the lot. Firstly the indian dish is adapted to the taste of local residents. Unlike all Indian restaurants which make use of huge amount of 'oil' and in their food, Kinara make use of minimum amount of oil which make the food healthier without compromising on taste. I would rate the service by the waiting staff to be 'caring and 'helpful'. They always go an extra mile to make a diners experience a special one. Since I am a regular ... read more

Just like home! – I am orginally from India and I love food and know what's what when it comes to Indian cuisine. Anyhow, Kinara is the closest you get to home cooking! I just had to laugh at this last review, because obviously this person does not know Indian food. First of all this cuisine takes time to cook to blend the spices well. It's an artistic cuisine taking time to make it just right, which Kinara most definately accomplishes in every way. so if you're looking for fast food........go to Mcdonalds or Berger king. I'... read more

delicious! – I am from NYC and I come over to kinara to eat whenever I want to go somewhere special and of course when I want truly authentic Indian cuisine. I know there are many good indian restaurants here in the city, but at kinara in Edgewater you feel so welcome and at home. From the decor in the main dining area which gives you a cozy old english/ irish pub feel to the owner who seems to always be there working effortlessly to make sure the food is to your liking and done the right way. This is something I don't see a... read more

Yucky, Yuck, Yuck, Yuck!!!! – One word: Yuck! I ordered take-out from Kinara, the food finally arrived after 2 hours. I called to check on the food, but they would just put me on hold and wouldn't give me any answers. After waiting so long, I was starving. Usually everything is good (at least decent) when I'm hungry. But, I can honestly say this was the worst food ever (not just worst Indian). It was overly spiced, but had no flavor. I'm not sure how they accomplished that, but they did. Overall, this is the worst experience... read more
