Raj Kinara

I came here years ago, and recently heard that it's still good, so, when I was unable to eat at a nearby restaurant, I decided to check Raj Kinara out again. I'm so glad that the other restaurant has stopped serving food! My wife and I knew that this place was special the moment we walked in. The fountain in the centre and the decor were really beautiful, and a glimpse at the great experience that was to come. The complementary poppadoms and chutneys to start were very welcome. The tandoori mixed platter was large and tasted so good. The rice sides tasted great as well, but unfortunately we accidentally ordered more than we could eat (post-gym hunger convinced our brains that our stomachs were bigger than they actually are) so we did not manage to eat as much as we wanted. Fortunately, the excellent staff came to the rescue! One of the waiters suggested how many bags and containers we would need to pack up our food, so we were able to take our plentiful leftovers home. I can't wait till tomorrow to finish off what we started this evening! We're definitely coming back. The price is well worth the quantity and taste of the food and the excellent service you receive. Edit: I just came back a second time and the poppadoms are definitely not complementary. The food was still good, and I will be coming back again.

Best curry I've ever had, the lamb is soft enough to cut with a spoon and the service is amazing very attentive and so friendly. Thank you so much see you soon x

It’s been over twelve years since I was last at this restaurant. So on a wet miserable Sunday evening my friend and I thought it was high time for a visit. The restaurant has changed since my last visit. It’s still circular, spacious and well lit. Staff are very welcoming, polite, courteous and professional. We take a seat in the sunken area of the restaurant away from other diners. We order two large Cobra’s, four popadoms, a chicken reshmi, onion bhagee and a keema naan for starters. For the main meal, hot captain pathila. This is tender strips of lamb, prepared using fresh herbs, spices including coriander, mint, garlic and yogurt in a rich tangy sauce. Also chicken shashlick. This was charcoal grilled chicken with roasted onions, green peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and a curry sauce. Pilau and coconut rice were also ordered. The entire meal was flawless. Adequate time to enjoy the starters before the main meals were served. Impeccable service from start to finish. The meals were tasty, plentiful and thoroughly enjoyed. The ambiance was perfect. It’s no wonder that people travel many miles to eat here. It’s exquisite Bangladeshi food and I won’t be leaving it so long before I return. We tipped generously to show our appreciation. Highly recommended.

My first visit, although my wife's been a few times. I always have a lamb rogan josh, to check the meat quality at a new place, and it was excellent I could've eaten it all (American style) without touching my knife if I'd wanted to it was so tender. My wife had the chicken shashlik which was very tasty and was a generous portion. I had to help her out with it by the end - hence knowing how tasty it was. The restaurant was full on arrival but we didn't wait long for our booked table. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff very friendly and efficient. An all round enjoyable visit and we'll definitely be back.

Perfect meal! The setting is amazing, overlooking the sea. Nicely decorated and internal space accomdates tables for big families. There were 18 of us, food was fresh, came out together (we ordered in groups of 4). Authentic flavours with a great menu selection. Prices are pretty much London prices but reasonable given the quality and location. Service was good and friendly. Highly recommended!

I'm not a fan of Indian cuisine, but my husband is and was told by friends that this was one of the best, and to be honest, it was . You need to book well in advance for a table and the takeaways going out were non stop .It's actually sited on fogarty Caravan Park .It's decorated lovely with views across the bay if by the widow. Service was good, although you could only get wine by the bottle and not the glass, which was a little disappointing . However, the food coming out looked hot and fantastic. There was no rushing you to eat and go . The tikka masala was lovey, as was the butter chicken and mixed grill that others had . Was a great experience , good food, and at a reasonable price too .Will be back with friends again soon .

A lovely location with a nice atmosphere. Attentive service with well presented and very tasty food. A good time had by all. Thanks Raj Kinara.
