    If you are looking for true authentic Indian food, this little gem ticks all the boxes. The food was incredible, the service was amazing and we will most certainly return. Most definitely the best Indian food in Glasgow. Honestly, you won't be disappointed.

    This was undoubtedly the finest Indian meal my partner and I have had in more than three decades of dining together. It was more expensive than what we're used to paying but that was purely down to us ordering fairly expensive starters and main courses without realising the size of the portions (there is plentyon less expensive disheson the menu)! However, although it was impossible to eat everything on the night, the staff could not have been more accommodating in providing us with takeaway cartons so that none of this amazing food went to waste. Overall, we had a mixture of chicken, lamb and seafood all of which was incredible on the tastebuds. Halfway through our meal, the manager brought us over two (on the house) mini-cocktails, which was a really nice touch. We had interaction with several members of staff all of whom were equally friendly and eager to assist. In summary, amazing venue, food and staff. Can't wait to return. Five stars all round.

    Those who had the pakora said they were superb but the hummus was a little bitter! All loved the paratha, crispy naan, & their mains & the Dal was absolutely stunning - best I ever tasted. We will come back & try small plates & the poor is!

    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!
