The Taste of Indian Cuisine at Kinara

Ever since the closure of our favorite Indian Restaurant, we've practically missed the real taste of the food. Other restaurant are simply doesn't really get the taste right, or simply too expensive to visit regularly. Until on one Friday evening, when we stumbled to Kinara Restaurant, just inside Sogo Food Hall, Pondok Indah Mall 2.

Since then, we have returned to the place, sitting at the same table, ordering almost the same dishes. Two of our regular dishes are Naranga Choru and Dal Kinara. Despite listed with curry leaves, I missed it completely to the crunchy peanut, perfectly matched the well cooked rice with lemon scent.


While waiting for them to prepare our order, we were served with papadam, Indian crackers rich of spices. The 2 dip sauces served with it helps to neutralize or complement the strong taste.

From the open kitchen, we can see the chefs preparing our order. Besides our regular menu above, this time we ordered Saag Paneer, made from Spinach, Cottage Cheese and Fenugreek. The cheese, which look like tofu, has a bouncy texture with salty taste. Overall, this dishes was a perfect compliment to our dinner.
