Kinara Indian Restaurant

#restaurant Kinara Indian Restaurant 68 Manning St, South Brisbane QLD 4101 Price range $$ Kinara has been on my list for a while finally tried it and absolutely loved the experience! Portions were generous, flavours were comforting and bold, and everything came out beautifully fragrant. Special thanks to our Indian friends recommend this restaurant to us! It gets pretty busy on weekends, so definitely book ahead! Weekdays are much more chill and we did walk-ins. The service was friendly, the spices were well-balanced without being overwhelming. A really solid spot for classic Indian flavours done well. Here’s what we ordered: GOL GAPPE (8 PCS) — $14 Deep-fried crisp spheres stuffed with potatoes, black chickpeas, onion & coriander, served with sweet tamarind sauce and spicy mint water (V) PLATTER OF DIPS WITH PAPADUMS — $14 Crunchy lentil wafers paired with mango chutney, raita and mint sauce — simple but satisfying (V) PAPRI CHAAT — $16 Crispy wafers topped with potatoes, black chickpeas, yoghurt, and sweet + spicy chutneys — bright, tangy and super refreshing. All of us love this dish. This is a really safe one to order if you are new to Indian cuisine!!! PRAWN GARLIC MASALA — $28 Tiger prawns sautéed with onion, garlic and house masala — rich, aromatic and full of flavour (GF) love it KINARA GOAT SPECIAL — $28 Slow-cooked goat on the bone in a velvety tomato-onion masala with freshly ground spices — tender and comforting not sure with the goat, there is a little bit of weird taste that hits a bit FISH TIKKA MASALA — $28 Tandoori cod fillet simmered in chef’s special gravy with a touch of cream & coriander — mild, creamy and delicious (GF) MANGO CHICKEN — $26 Chicken marinated in warm spices and cooked in a coastal-style mango coconut sauce — sweet, creamy and super comforting this one actually surprise me, and I would definitely order when revisiting, it’s also interesting combination that I never think of. 食印度菜嘅經驗唔多，但係呢間嘢真係可以試吓！ • • Follow the world of @what_is_in_my_stomach on Instagram to discover the answer of the most often asked question, “what to eat” contemporary approach to all kinds of restaurants, street food, cafe and home cooking together ‼ • • #foodlover #foodaholic #yum #eat #dinner #breakfast #lunch #foodies #brisbane #queensland #QLD #bne #Goldcoast #seafood #australia #foodie #indian #india #印度

Excellent food, every dish was full of flavor and tasted fresh and high-quality. We visited this restaurant twice during our 3-day stay in Brisbane because it was so good. We tried Butter Chicken, Chili Paneer, Sahi Paneer and different Naans - all excellent. The service was friendly, the atmosphere good, and the price fair. Out of the nine Indian restaurants we visited in Australia during our holiday, this was by far the best one. We’d be happy to come back.

I am glad that Brisbane has finally got its own decent Indian joint in the form of Kinara. No other restaurant sticks to mind when you think of authentic Indian cuisine and I've tried heaps in the 17 years I've lived here. The food has never gone wrong in all the times I have been here, the service is impeccable and attentive, and if my 4 yr old likes the food, its an all round win. If anything I feel the quality of the dishes keep going up. Special shout out to the staff at the front for doing an amazing job!! I hope they keep going at this level because standards like these are hard to come by. Keep up the good work

This Indian restaurant is always busy, and for good reason! If you’re craving Indian curry, this place is a must. The Butter Chicken and Prawn Chili Curry are delicious, the naan is amazing, and the Mango Lassi is also fantastic. Now I understand why it’s so popular! The staff are super friendly, the service is excellent I recommend going a bit earlier on Friday evenings — by 6 PM the waiting line already starts. I’ll definitely be coming back often.

Tried this Indian cuisine restaurant “Kinara” South Bank in Brisbane and overall, it was a satisfying experience! The food was flavorful and brought back a taste of home. We started with Aloo Tikki Chaat and Chilli Paneer — both were absolutely superb in taste and presentation. The main course dinner lived up to our expectations as well, capturing authentic Indian flavours. We ordered Naan, Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani, & Shahi Paneer and I can say food was good and the tastes were authentic and the spice levels were checking before taking order ( I appreciate that). The real star of the meal, however, was the Kesar Kulfi – a perfect 10/10! It tasted exactly like the ones we used to enjoy in Jaipur — creamy, rich, and true to tradition. The staff was polite and courteous, and the service quality was good, though we did experience a bit of a wait time even after booking well in advance. That said, the taste made it worth the wait. I wanted to give it 4 ⭐s but the Kesar Kulfi was the taste that took me back to my home town and the starters too If you’re craving genuine Indian flavours with a touch of nostalgia, this place is worth a visit.

We are visiting from Adelaide and we had one of the most delicious Indian meals. The order came at just the right time. The whole order was presented to us all at once enabling us to serve the various dishes to our plates at the same time .. Pork Vindaloo - Fish Tikka Masala- okra vegetable curry - With rice garlic naan and Peshwari naan Mango lashi, Indian street lemon soda and Rasberry lemonade … Thank you to all the staff at Kinara Indian Restaurant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sensational authentic Indian cuisine in Brisbane at last. Amazing food, tasty and fresh with amazing spices. Had the lamb laas which was superb and a few side dishes. Even had Shepherd Neame IPA!

Amazing food. Very good table service. The menu has a comprehensive range of delectable dishes. Our waitresses Manreet was attentive, efficient and very professional. Could not recommend more highly.
