Kinara Tandoori Restaurant in Harrogate

I regularly eat here and can’t fault the simple and relaxed ambience combined with some very good food, all of which is always accompanied by their friendly, personal service. Combined with such excellent value for money and their consistently high standards, Kinara is a tried and tested 5 Star Restaurant which is well worth an visit. 👏

A gem of a find. Good food, BYOA and extremely well priced….some places in Harrogate are eye watering. Tap water was brought to the table on the first request - thank you. Well spiced dishes and good naans. Friendly staff. Would certainly recommend and return.

Used to be great. Tried a takeaway for old time’s sake. Our curries were very bland. Nothing special at all. Disappointing. Won’t be returning.

Most meals spot on. King prawn bhuna, the prawns were very tough.

Food quality and flavour is really good. Only negative the portions are on the small size for the money.

This place was highly recommended by a local person, food excellent and service by 2 young men excellent. We would highly recommend.

What’s has happened. Was the go to Indian in Harrogate been going for years , but last night was so disappointing. Service was slow and not very attentive, finally got our order and our water after the second request. Food arrived bland tasteless and portions have reduced in size. The two chicken madras were no hotter than a tikka I ordered a Aloo rice I appreciate it wasn’t on the menu but the potatoes were appalling. Just not what we were expecting however we did not recognise any members of the staff so maybe new owners. Until things improve we will not be returning get your act together guys.

A very Warm welcome and with a pleasant smile by Rasseem this evening! We came here from Warwickshire to a conference weekend at Harrogate convention centre. Great location and close to the Doubletree Majestic Hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for Rasseem, as a vegan he paid very attention to my requests when ordering the food. Tasty food and do highly recommend this small family restaurant Kinara-Cheltenham crescent. Great credit to this restaurant, Rasseem was very professional and a great customer service attention ! Wish you Rasseem all the best in your studies and your future career! Well done Kinara.

Delivery time changed twice! Lime pickle tasted old and stale and hardly any in the tub. The rogan josh was the worst i have ever had, so much onion in it, it was more like a bland, tasteless onion stew. Colourless and no flavour. Terrible curry. Another Indian restaurant in Harrogate sending out sub standard food!

Used to be our favourite but recently had a few meals that really weren't great. Last night topped it off though, all accompaniments like the mint sauce, lettuce, pancake type thing for our chaat and bajiis all missing. Very disappointing. And it was £36 for a meal for two so missing items definitely not acceptable for the cost.

Amazing taste and so flavoursome! The guys at Kinara are top notch!

What a lovely quiet place, great food and staff very friendly, Great price too. Take your own alcohol. But will gladly give you water with ice. Well worth a visit.

Ordered a meat biriyani with raita. All arrived hot. Biriyani was enjoyable but nothing special, the sauce with it was more onion than hot and was very mild. Worst raita I've ever had - no cucumber or anything in it as expected, was literally just thick yoghurt. Probably won't order from here again.

Visited on a Saturday evening with a few friends. Ordered the mixed starter and then a makhani, lamb special and another curry. Food was alright, lamb special was not particularly flavoursome and naan bread was lacking in filling. Mixed starter was nice. By no means the best curry I’ve had but portions were fair and it filled us up. It’s BYOB so make sure to arrive with drinks if you want that. Staff were friendly and service was good.

Ordered a meal for delivery was told 40 mins @ 6.30 , rang restaurant after a hour there response was they had no drivers . At 9 pm still no drivers, my meal never arrived and no apology. Absolute disgrace won’t be visiting, or using again

ordered a takeaway (chicken Korma) always order from here the last 3-4 years but this has to be the worst ever tonight! the sauce was shocking.... watered down so much, there was no coconut taste, it was bland and tasteless, the sauce was so thin, could have just thrown some chicken in a slow cooker for 5 hours with a bit of water and milk and a shaving of some coconut essence.... thats what it resembled and tasted like.... it was disgusting! never again will i order from here moving into 2024....

First time ordering from this take away but order was way delayed. I can appreciate that it maybe busy but perhaps orders should not be taken. The popadom was tasted burnt although the curry and nan was ok. However it was stone cold I won't be ordering again.

This order was over 2 hours late in arriving. When it did arrive it was cold and had to be reheated.

Best Indian in Harrogate , eat in and takeaway

Enjoyed the meal, would order again

Basic decor but very good food reasonably priced. They don't serve alcohol but do allow you to bring your own.

Still the best curry house in Harrogate for my money

Pre ordered food for 7pm for delivery. 7:20pm I phoned restaurant and spoke to a polite man who explained that my order as been ready but just eat have no drivers available to pick it up. I was giving no updates on situation, I was advised the food will arrive and to wait a bit longer. Again the man was polite, the food did eventually arrive and to be honest it was cold which was expected because Just Eats had no drivers to deliver when food what hot and fresh. The quality of food was ok. I just wish they had communicated with me the customer and not take/make orders if unable to deliver due to no drivers.

Needed to get food before a concert. Couldn't get in next door, so went in. It was empty, to be fair it was quite early too. Te staff were all busy preparing take away pots. We were seated and offered drinks, Bring Your Own Booze. Didn't see that. But Coke was fine. We ordered and the food came quickly and it was really good. The staff were attentive without being pushy Clearly the takeaway side is busy, as there were lots of comings and goings whilst we were there. I would certainly recommend the food was good, the service was good. The dining room was great. The downside.... the toilet was a little unpleasant, but not filthy.

So disappointed in the veg samosas. We were really looking forward to them and they turned up as spring rolls with beansprouts in. No way is this an Indian samosa. If I wanted spring rolls I'd order Chinese. So disappointing.

Bombay aloo and saag aloo delicious. Unfortunately naan bread cold and hard. No poppadom delivered although I paid for it. Disappointed overall. Delivery good.

The chicken Madras is Divine as always

Really delicious food, steaming hot, fast delivery. Great selection. Thank you 😊

The food is authentic and super delicious! Will definitely order with them again and will recommend my friends as well. Thank you so much!

Quiet when we visited (several Indian restaurants in walking distance); nevertheless we went for it and loved it. No alcohol licence but the upshot here is impressively cheap dishes. We spent £35 for two of us with two side dishes and naans + rice. Some really interesting curries on the menu too; clearly some love and thought behind the scenes and it came through in the taste. Brilliant place, don’t be put off if it’s a little quiet.

Our second visit to this fabulous little restaurant great service friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend..

Excellent quality food excellent service. Never had a bad service from Kinara. Puts the bigger places to shame at times. Will never fault them. 10/10

So pleased we came across this little gem when searching for a restaurant near our hotel. Friendly waiting staff. Very tasty food. Plentiful and hot! Extremely good value!

Very good food and delivery in 20 mins. What's not to like? Naan could have been fresher perhaps

Food is delicious as always and a cheerful delivery driver :)

Food arrived quickly and was piping hot. It tasted lovely, chicken pakoras absolutely delicious

Still my favourite restaurant in Harrogate for a Madras!

Ordered Chicken Khulna, which was described as a spicy dish, but couldn't taste anything apart from the odd chilli. Very bland dish with little if any flavour which isn't what I want from a curry.

Delicious food at a very reasonable cost. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Harrogate!!!!!!

Excellent food. Will order again

Had the sizzling platter. Was delicious.

Great food and service. Everything as expected....

Worst restaurant food i ever had worst taste rotten food and very bad service provided Food items in menu are not the same as served in actual I don’t recommend ❗️

Food is very tasty but fairly small portions

Great food and plenty of it. I took a doggy back with me. Friendly staff and nothing too much trouble.

Love this place, it is BYO now so even better value. Lovely food, great veggie choices and great service. Always a pleasure to go

Slightly disappointed - Rice and naan bread were great although the chicken was really dry, rock hard and difficult to cut despite being in a sauce.. :( flavours in the sauce were great although not my usual standard - maybe try again at a different time!

Great food as always. No complaints but free yoghurt dip would have been nice (like other take aways provide)

Staff very friendly. Food brilliant, we often eat in or get delivery. BYOB, so take your own wine or alcohol.

Delicious as always - thank you *****

Kinara, best curry house in Harrogate?

The best chicken pakoras! Please never change them

Ordered Tandoori mix grill food was horrible, bland and very dry, expensive as well. Was not very professional when picking up takeaway.

Delivered at a time requested. Lovely creamy korma . Onion bhaji could've had more spice but on the whole a good meal

I phoned the restaurant to ensure there was no nuts in the order ! I was assured that everything was nut free! That was not true! I have a son who has a nut allergy. That in not acceptable! And is dangerous! Thankfully my son did not eat. t The products with almonds could have had a serious health issue for him. I am very upset and actually have lost confidence in this restaurant! Please learn from this - allergies are serious - people can die and yes my son has to carry an epi pen and does have a serious allergy. I would like assurance that this restaurant will learn from my experience and take their responsibilities seriously

The sauce on the passanda was weird, tasted either off or some fruit ingredient and it made it taste bad. Also the lamb tikka was very chewy. Not good at all

Really enjoyed the dish , quality excellent as always. I asked for extra chillies to be added like the Naga dish , it said on the container but didn’t have the extra spice taste.

Great tasting fresh food! Arrived hot, thanks

I did not order this. This is a fraudulent order

Very impressed! No nonsense, no frills, bring your own booze curry house with great staff, lovely food & very relaxed atmosphere. Great value for money too. The last great traditional Indian in Harrogate without a doubt. Will come back again!

One of the worst madras I’ve had. Watery, 1/2 quantity when opened the container. The last time I order from here

The Jakuti was amazing. Order the Jakuti and thank me later.

This was the first time of ordering from you. Would recommend to my friends

Tasteless meat dish, Parsi is meant to be hot and spicy, the dish was not, just the actual chillies were. The chicken Shali was better but not amazing. Again more overpriced food with no extras at all thrown in. We gave them two chances.

Again more overpriced food with no extras at all thrown in. We gave them two chances. Aug 2022: Khulna was very bland and tasteless I’m afraid. What was meant to be a spicy dish it was not. Meat poor quality as well. Chicken saag was also poor. No freebies included not even a raita. Not up to quality for the price.

Lovely meal. Best takeaway curry I’ve had in Harrogate

Terrible food lacked flavour bland and overpriced terrible

Really varied menu of freshly cooked food

Food below average. Rice bland and full of burnt onion. Poor value - Vegetable mains same price as meat dishes?? Most of the containers half full.

Food came tepid. The vegetarian mixed starter was over cooked and underwhelming. The curries themselves were good, but the naan was undercooked and doughy in places. Unfortunately not Kinaras usual high standard.

I had an extremely tasty meal, one of their specials and it was. I would go back again.

Very high quality and tasty food as always

Food took an hour and twenty five minutes to arrive. Phoned to see where it was, and they blamed the just eat driver, told them i was diabetic and needed it asap, and was met with, sorry but we cant help. I was bordering on a hypo when food arrived, and yes, it was cold. Terrible customer service

Terrible experience! After waiting over an hour i rang the restaurant and was told it was the drivers fault, i explained i was diabetic and needed the food asap, was met with, sorry we cant help, i was bordering on a hypo when food arrived, and yes, it was cold

No problem because you kept us informed.😁

Best in Harrogate in my opinion and have been for years

My husband wanted an Indian last Saturday but we have not booked any restaurant. As we were walking along we saw Kinara and we decided to try. They don't have wine but that was okay as Tesco is just nearby. Next, we know what to do but still we hope they can offer alcohol again soon. Everything is reasonable price. The food was really good and staff were so attentive. We took home our leftovers and it was even better the next day.

Great little place. No alcohol served which was fine with us. We all enjoyed our food.

The best I’ve had for sometime

Khulna was very bland and tasteless I’m afraid. What was meant to be a spicy dish it was not. Meat poor quality as well. Chicken saag was also poor. No freebies included not even a raita. Will not order again as it was not up to quality for the price.

My wife and I have been here several times and have never been disappointed. Probably the best curry restaurant in Harrogate. Situated in the centre of the town. Plenty of parking nearby. Great selection of food on the menu all well prepared and very reasonably priced. Not licensed but you can take your own alcohol The staff are lovely. Well worth a visit.

Great starters Bloody full on them but ordered main and nan

Absolutely fantastic food and great service ❤👍

Try something different every time and always great

Very tasty. Delivery good. Thanks

Never disappoints! Tasty, tasty, tasty!

Food from kinara is normally good. However this evening unfortunately it was very bland. Not sure if I would order from kinara again.

Best curry house / takeaway I have had in a long time. If a no thrills bring your own beer curry house is what your looking for this is the place to go. Service was exceptional, curry was the best I have had in a long time if not ever, fresh, not greasy and the fact you can bring your own booze is great, makes it much cheaper. Would recommend to anyone.

Definitely the best Indian I’ve had in Harrogate! Lovely flavours

Deliveroo based order - my madras was excellent and the tikka masala was delicious! We had a very minor issue with the delivery which was sorted so quickly. Great food and amazing customer service!!

Delivered really quickly and fantastic food, will definitely order from Kinara again.

Really nice tasting, piping hot! Would highly recommend

Quality food as always. Naga is hot !😀

Had curry from here before and it was lovely, last nights wasn't good though, a very small portion of curry not enough for dinner and the tarka daal was literally like yellow water there was no lentils at all it!! It wasn't edible at all and went straight in the bin. I won't be ordering from here again very disappointing had to cook a pizza after or would've gone to bed hungry!

Lovely and fresh tasting currys

Driver never got assigned and order kept getting postponed, so the restaurant called us and arranged for one of their own staff to bring it. Excellent service by Kinara and food was amazing! Really dissapointed with JustEat.

Just eat delivery driver did not turn up to pick up the order we waited an hour to ring the restaurant they confirmed food ready but no just eat delivery drive they were amazing at the restaurant and ended up driving the order to us on their own
