Kinaara- Regency - Omaha

Must admit I didn't know what I was walking into. What I found was amazing food with an attentive wait staff. I'm looking forward to understanding more about Indian food, the Kerala region in particular after this meal. Fish Pollichathu pictured

If you like spicy, this is the place to be. You get a choice between mild, medium, hot, and extra hot. I went with medium Aloo Gobi and was surprised I had to ask for their yogurt blend to tame it down. The service and staff were fantastic. This is the go-to spot for Indian cuisine.

This was my very first time eating Indian Cuisine, so I was naturally apprehensive. My son got a recommendation for Kinaara from a coworker who had been visiting Omaha. (I love personal recommendations. The signage on the outside is very (very nondescript, but I understand in October 2022, Kinaara is moving to a new location (so probably a good thing . Immediately upon entering Kinaara, I thought, wow, not a very big place, but tables and seats were almost all taken (a good sign . We were immediately greeted and seated. We did let the staff know it was our first time eating Indian Cuisine and asked for their recommendations. Our server, Ian, immediately placed on our table a water pitcher, and we happened to notice that all of the tables had ample water pitchers on their table, which is a win as we love water. At no time did our water glasses or pitcher go empty. On to the food, our server gave an absolute amazingly detailed description of anything we had questions on. When we simply asked him for recommendations, Ian provided, again, impeccable detail and tantalizing descriptive details of his recommendations. It was very clear that Ian had actually tried and loved what he recommended! We ended up ordering (on Ian's recommendation the chili garlic naan and the cheese naan, and they did not disappoint. For our entree, (again, on Ian's recommendation we ordered the butter chicken and the special of the evening beef coconut fry. We shared our meals to taste both of them, and again, cannot stress enough that Ian's recommendations were spot on delicious. We kind of thought we were done eating, until low and behold, the dessert recommendations came. No, really, we thought we were done, but so far, the restaurant's recommendations were spot on, and we had to order their sticky date pudding. O-M-G, again, Kinaara's blew us away til the very end. We all absolutely loved the pudding. We will certainly be back to Kinaara's and cannot wait to share with family and frie

Best Indian Food this side of Omaha by a long shot! The Chicken Biriyani is amazingly by and packed with flavor, and can be made as spicy or as mild as you want. I had the salty sweet lime soda on my recent visit, and I was not disappointed. You should always get naan when you order Indian food and it?s fantastic here.

First time and wow! Food was amazing and fresh! Owner came to every table to say hi and see how everything was. I enjoyed the butter chicken, cheese naan, masala chai tea and the sticky date pudding!
