Ambience: Cold and noisy. Service: Slow but polite and apologetic. Food: Good quality and pleasant, but either too much money or too tiny portions. Also the mildest vindaloo I have ever had despite asking for it to be made ‘Hot’. Overall, I doubt if I will be back.

We had a wonderful dinner at Kinu to celebrate a few milestones. The food was superb! We have eaten at many Indian restaurants and this is definitely in the top 2 or 3 of all time. The Tokli Chatt was particularly tasty, but all of the dishes were delicious. The servers were very friendly and helpful. The service was a little on the slower end but not a problem. An exceptional dining experience.
